They sell it as extract powder or as a 'teabag' that you hang in the cup .
The taste was different but I guess you would get used to it.
I would steer clear of anything that has aspartane in it.
Headaches are common with that stuff

right! headache is common for having sweetener with aspartame in it. i used to get stevia sweetener from Japan when i was there on company trip but hard to find here. overthere they ban aspartame as artificial thing by using natural sweetener like stevia instead and i heard they use it for more than 30 yrs so far. i will check at villa tomorrow then.

after checking at Villa Market aree yesterday, i got this stevia sweetener "greensweet". i just use it with coffee and the taste is good. it's easy to us by just using it in half of sugar as sugar substitute. it seems to be used with cooking and baking too.
