German Rock Sugar (1 lb)

This is the best sweetener I have ever used. It tastes better than Honey, refined sugar, artifical sweeteners, and stevia. It not only sweetens the tea, it enhances it's natural taste without leaving a bitter or unpleasant aftertaste. I also use it when I make anything with tomatoes, in my spagetti sauce, tomato based soups, chili, pepper steak, etc.. it gives just the right amount of sweetness without being sickeningly sweet.

Fun, messless, and subtle. Sweet without being sweet, this sugar sweetens your tea perfectly and doesn't add any hint or clue of any sweetener even being there. I was happy to be informed that this sugar is made from sugar beet instead of cane sugar, which is about 50% easier for your body to digest. That puts me at a solid 5 rating.

I've been drinking tea since the ripe old age of 6. I am now 47. I was introduced to tea's in bags, loose, flowery, etc, and I have to say I love them all. While leaving a Dr's appointment and trying to get out of the Beverly Center, I saw this young man giving samples of tea. I approached and tasted the tea, and to my surprise, I was blown away!! It was pefection in an overpriced area, but this was totally worth it. I have to give thumbs up for the savvy manager that hired the young man I spoke with. (Im horrible with names but he was at work *in the Beverly Center* on a Thursday around 12noon 4/11/13) He was just simply WONDERFUL to say the very least. I have found a new place to enjoy. I shall return!!

Before discovering Teavana, I would use honey in my teas (I have never liked the taste of cane sugar in my tea). And while I like honey, it was always the flavor you taste, no matter the tea. Since discovering the German Rock Sugar, nothing else will satisfy! It is AWESOME!! It really does let the flavor of the tea shine through - enhancing rather than overpowering.

This is the perfect way to enhance the flavor of your tea!! I'll use about half a teaspoon or so for the first brew, then a teaspoon for the second brew with my favorite teas. Its as if the taste from the first brew to the second and third haven't changed! (In quality I mean. Different brews, for oolong and such, usually change in taste slightly.) :)

Perfect for all teas and is never over sweet!

I quite enjoy this rock sugar. It does a perfect job without being too sweet. Teavana rock sugar does not taste artificial or have an aftertaste like cheaper brands.
I use this rock sugar for tea, coffee and other drinks that need a bit of sweetening. Its even good as a sweet treat on its own!
It stores well.

I was puzzled how normal Tropical sugarcane sugar could possibly grow in a cold temperate climate like Germany's. So I found out this is made from redbeets/ beetroot. This is why it tastes better, it is unprocessed from a sweet root vegtable, not a grass like refined sugarcane. It looks so beautiful too, I love to have it exposed on display in a glass dish with a spoon for my guests. Everyone is intrigued by it and asks me about it.

To be honest, I don't put it in my tea. I eat it plain and it's pure delicious sugar.

This Rock Sugar is superb! It's not overly sweet (like some sugars can be)... And it's got a nice rounded flavor, so it doesn't ruin the tea's taste. It's perfectly sweet!

I bought just a quarter pound of the rock sugar to try. I am not going to use anything else in my Teavana tea! These refined teas take a light touch of sweetness (if at all).
