Stevia Leaves for Tea and Homemade Blends

Dried Stevia Leaves are a distinctive ingredient for herbal tea, fruit tea and homemade blends. Their flavour is herbal, slightly grassy and clearly sweet. Therefore, only a small amount is needed to influence the overall character of a tea mixture.

Start with just a few leaf pieces and adjust the quantity gradually. This allows you to find the right balance without overpowering the other ingredients in your blend.

Dried Stevia Leaf with a Sweet Herbal Flavour

The leaves of Stevia rebaudiana have a recognisable flavour of their own. Alongside their sweetness, they offer a gently herbal and grassy note. As a result, they combine especially well with mild herbs and fruit-based teas.

Because the flavour can be intense, careful dosing is important. When creating your own blends, add only a little at first and taste the infusion before using more.

Stevia Leaf and Mate – a Traditional Combination

Stevia originates from the border region of Paraguay and Brazil. The Guaraní traditionally used the leaves to complement the flavour of mate. You can try this combination yourself by adding a few pieces to our Green Mate Tea.

The leaves also work well in herbal and fruit teas. In fruity blends, they can support the existing flavours, while in mild herbal teas they add a sweet herbal nuance.

For Your Own Tea Creations

Use the dried leaves to refine an existing tea or to create your own blend. They pair well with mint, gentle herbs and fruit teas. This gives you full control over the flavour profile and intensity.

Preparation and Dosage

Add a small amount to your chosen tea blend. Then prepare the infusion using the water temperature and steeping time recommended for the main tea. Taste before adding more, as Stevia Leaf can have a strong flavour.
