SweetLeaf Water Drops, Mixed Berry – Sugar-Free Water Enhancer Drops, Stevia & Monk Fruit Sweetener Water Flavoring, 1.62 Oz (Pack of 3)

I don't love plain water, but need to hydrate more, so I've been looking for a better-tasting stevia or alternative to monkfruit with erythritol. SweetLeaf seems to be harder to find in stores and is a bit pricey, so it took me a while to try it out. Here are some pro/cons and a description of all the flavors.PROS- O calories, sugars, or carbs; no artificial sweeteners or colors, based on organic, non-GMO stevia. I've been going through an elimination diet and could still use this.- Doesn't have the Stevia aftertaste that you have even in products like Zevia. (However, the hubby won't tolerate ANY stevia taste, so it's still a "no" from him.)- Great if, like me, you like the flavors in candy and fountain drinks, but don't like the negative ingredients/side effects. TIP: start with less and build up the flavor if you want it sweeter/stronger as it can get overpowering if you put too much.- Easy to use and carry with you.- I have been drinking so much more water using these drops!- After 4 weeks, hasn't upset my stomach as stevia sometimes does.- Has completely replaced my buying VitaminWaters and Zevia, so ultimately a huge cost savings.CONS- Pricey if you want to buy just one (most flavors). Also, I went through 3 bottles in just 1-2 weeks while figuring out how much to use. You may use less, but the bottles aren't huge.- It has a lot of packaging. Plastic bottle, plastic wrap seal, plastic packaging for the multipack.- I had at least 2-3 that arrived sticky on the outside, so I assume some leakage. (No inner foil seal, just the plastic overwrap on the flip top).- NOTE! These don't taste like natural fruit flavors. I don't mind, but if you want that, you might instead try doing infusions with real fruit and then adding some clear/plain stevia drops if you want it sweeter.Here's my review of the flavors, which I liked overall:- Strawberry Kiwi: Seems to be most popular in reviews and posts. I found it to be great all around and drank it all day, every day for 3 weeks without getting tired of it. Reminds me of Starburst strawberry; no kiwi I can detect.- Raspberry Lemonade: My 2nd favorite. Mostly tastes like the raspberry in a raspberry Lipton fountain iced tea with an end note of lemon SweetTart. SweetLeaf lemon in general tastes more like bottled lemon juice, and is very faint (such as in their monkfruit lemonade flavor, which I don't recommend).- Mixed Berry: Mostly raspberry with a bit of blueberry syrup (such as for pancakes). Less sweet than the Strawberry Kiwi. 3rd on my go-to list.- Peach Mango: Like the "peach" you get in iced/hot teas. I don't detect any mango. Can be a bit heavy; build up the flavor gradually.- Tropical Punch: Tastes mostly like coconut water flavoring with a bit of tartness. Best when cold. Smells like a pina colada in the bottle. NOT at all like Hawaiian Punch/Kool-Aid tropical punch flavor.- Lemon Lime: My least favorite here, and also in the candy world. Tastes mainly like a flat, less sweet Sprite, with mostly lime notes. I won't use it again for water; maybe as a flavor in a smoothie or elsewhere.Good buy? I'd start with buying a single bottle (e.g., Strawberry Kiwi) to see if you like the Stevia base and general flavor. If you like that, this multipack is a great next step to try other flavors. I would definitely buy this multipack again for variety if it didn't have the Lemon Lime. Highly recommend the brand and range of flavors in general. TIP: try their chocolate drops!!

My husband and I have been ordering these drops for at least the last three years and REALLY liked the taste of our water when we used them. For me, it was every day because I find that flavoring the water helps me drink a great deal more of it throughout the day which has helped me in many ways.So the time to replenish came around and I put my order in, got them 2 days later (thank you, Amazon!) and put them in the cabinet to use when I finished the previous batch. Two days later I added a few drops of the peach mango into my water bottle, took a drink and spit it out because it was just awful. Horrid! I can't even describe the taste adequately but it was NOT peach mango by any stretch of the imagination.Had the hubby try it and he found it awful as well. He spit it out also because he thought there was something really wrong with it. I opened the next bottle (I get the five bottle orders) thinking that surely this was just a case of one simple mistake that only affected one bottle but nope, same thing with the next bottle.Evidently there is no longer any stevia in it and there is most certainly not even a hint of peach nor is there a hint of mango. It tastes really off, tinny, kind of bitter. I opened the third bottle and same thing so evidently the entire batch was off. I wasn't upset (yet) just disappointed so I called Amazon, explained the problem and the young woman issued a credit to my account.Then, I looked up the company contact information and sent them a polite letter explaining what had happened, gave them the batch numbers (two different batch numbers) and suggested they look into the problem. About an hour later I ordered the strawberry-kiwi flavor, again 5 bottles. Got them yesterday and I could smell the strawberry scent on the outside of the bottle so I thought, "Great! Let's line up the water bottles!" That response was a bit premature because these bottles were no better than the peach mango. Same taste, most unpleasant.Now I'm really ticked off because I haven't heard anything from the company who makes the drops so evidently, they don't care about their customer's experience. DO NOT waste your money on these stevia drops. There's no stevia in them apparently as there's no sweetness to the drops at all and the flavors that are supposed to be there are most definitely not. How the bottles can have such a noticeable strawberry aroma and completely lack any strawberry taste is beyond me. At this point I'm almost tempted to get these bottles tested for some kind of contamination. It's very, very weird.So save your money and find something else if you like a bit of flavor to your water. If I get the test done I'll come back and edit this with updated information.Last, but not least, if anyone else has had this same problem please contact the manufacturer, the seller on Amazon and Amazon customer service. Most importantly though the manufacturer needs to wake up and pull this stuff before anybody gets sick.**An update After I reviewed these drops the manufacturer told me, via email, to take the issue up with Amazon. Ridiculous. The review & complaint was about the product not packaging!
