There are different varieties of Stevia.


Does this horrid taste go away if you dry the leaves?


Probably not. My read of the nature of 'glycoside' and looking at
reports around the web, including competitors' claims and counter-claims
suggest that the bitterness is persistent.

One (Chinese) wholesaler says they remove the stem and as much vein from
the leaves as possible and that makes their product better and less
bitter.

Richters has developed 'Crazy Sweet' which isn't bitter and lives up to
its name. On the downside we've found it a very easy plant kill and have
yet to bring a plant to maturity.
