Quick Backlog … Before I went to St. Louis we took a quick day jaunt down to Kansas City home of Shang Tea. I wish I had more time there – they are SUCH lovely people but we were so hungry and both my and my daughter’s blood sugars were dropping fast so we had to go eat soon. Anyway after sampling a few teas and picking up two that I wanted – I had to grab some of this!
When we sampled it we all were so surprised! It is SWEET VERY SWEET like liquid all nature sweetener! Now I would not drink this straight myself although my daughter LOVED it straight, but it is PERFECT and let me repeat PERFECT to add only a little bit to your other teas to sweeten ALL NATURAL!
I LOVE this stuff should have got more but I do have a little to share. I am for sure sending some to Kittenna and TeaEqualsBliss in soon to come trades.
If anyone else really loves to sweeten their tea or is curious about this please let me know. Oh and I even got a discount on it when I mentioned I was going to share with fellow Steepsters! How cool is THAT for customer service??
:)
If you live anywhere near KC go into Shang and enjoy sitting and sampling all their teas and look around at all their lovely pots and also jewelry and other neat items!
Lovely place, lovely people!
I will be back when I have more time – consider yourself warned lol.

Naturally as sweet as a sweetener? This tea sounds like bliss!
Yes as in like sugar, agave, honey but different – its just like SWEET lol PM me your address and I’ll send ya some!
Is it an herb? Stevia? Do you know the scientific name? I’d love to do some reading on this!
Honestly all I know is what is on their site about it here:

oooh – sounds like fun!

Hello all, glad you are interested in the Sweet Leaf Tea. The scientific name is Rubus Suavissimus, the Chinese Blackberry plant. It is a member of the rose family and the leaves produce their own sweetener similar to stevia.
Here’s a generic overview from wikipedia of the Rubus family: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubus
There are also multiple studies out there about this plant that talk about the chemical composition, etc.
Let me know if there are any other questions, thanks everyone!
Thanks for the info!
Ooh, I’m excited! Just reading this post now, I’m super behind. This sounds good :)
