Hi there,

I was wondering where I could purchase Stevia in the UK. Or is there something similar to it, perhaps under a different name, available in the UK?

    Holland and Barrett. Had to google Stevia, never heard of it, but found this.

    Swiss manufacturer Hermestas sells stevia based sweeteners in Australian supermarkets and health food stores. They are marketed in the UK as well. Check their website.

    Hi there, I just wanted to say that I made the transition from aspartame to stevia and well frankly i hated the taste. I have since gone all out and after many years of sweet black coffee I am now sweetner free! and you know it only took 4 or 5 days to get used to it.
    I went to a restaurant recently and the coffee was treacle like and i added sugar and you know it was delicious, so for me im gonna go without and then on those rare occasions that the coffee is how french coffee can be Im gonna add sugar, the real thing!!
    hope your experience is better than mine!
