 Designed to Sweeten, not to affect flavorJun 15, 2010
By I. Starkebaum
"Tea Noob"
I only see a single 3 star review for this product currently, and that simply doesn't do it justice. It exists as a way to sweeten Teas (and other beverages) without having a strong effect on the flavor itself. I am primarily a Fruit-based Tea Drinker, and its fantastic for sweetening a batch of Tea, Iced or hot, and has no trouble being turned into a simple syrup for later application. It is indeed on the pricey side, but its well worth it for what it brings to the drink. A fine product, through and through.

 Expensive, but niceFeb 19, 2011
By Stephanie Martin
I was given some of the German Rock Sugar by a friend for my birthday, and I really like it. I usually use Sugar in The Raw, but had wanted to try the rock sugar. So, when I was given this, I tried it out.
I do enjoy it, the crystals are pretty in my tea maker or cup, and I love to watch them dissolve. They sweeten without actually adding a flavor to the tea, so I'm not left tasting tea and sweetener, like I do with honey.
One drawback I do find with the rock sugar is how Teavana suggests you use it: they suggest you add it to your tea while it's brewing. This is fine and dandy if your tea brews for a while, but if you're brewing for 2-3 minutes for some teas (like they suggest), you'll find the tea is done before the sugar dissolves. And since I use the Perfect Tea Maker, I don't stir the leaves (as suggested). So I've found it works best added to the bottom of a cup and then let the tea maker pour into the cup, agitating the sugar and helping it dissolve before I use mt spoon.

Does a SWEET Job ;-)Nov 04, 2010

I first had rock sugar at an upscale spa as I waited for my massouse and fell in love with it after one cup. This definitely does the trick for tea. Unlike granualated sugars that sink, accumulate at the bottom and demand that you stir periodically just to keep the tea & it's contents homogenized, this rock sugar distributes an evenly sweet taste throughout the whole cup. No stirring needed! Rocks dissolve gradually from the temperature of the tea water. And like a previous user said, it does a great job sweetening without changing the tea's designated flavor, but rather enhances it. I'm hooked on thsi product from Teavana.

 Cheaper Substitute FOUND!!!!Mar 27, 2011
By Joseph Adiasor
"Hungry like a Wolf"
Nothing wrong with the sugar besides the fact it is so expensive, and doesn't last very long but, after fun and time taking experimentation I have found a perfect and cheaper substitute, it's called "Turbinado Sugar" And I found some at the Whole Foods in St. Louis, but I would imagine they sell it at all Whole Foods. They sell it in bulk, and it's 1.99 per pound. So in comparison to what you buy in the store or find on Amazon (after shipping), 1 pound of Teavana Tea costs $13. For the same $13 you can buy 6.5 pounds of Turbinado Sugar. And you use it in the same ratio that you use the German Rock Sugar, so you get 6.5 times the bang for your buck

Nothing else tastes as goodJan 05, 2012
By Valerie A. Brown
"Heebiequeen"
I drink fruit teas as well as the more robust teas, and the German rock sugar will sweeten them without drowning out the flavor of the tea. Regular sugar does not, and neither does Demerara sugar. When I bought the German rock sugar at Teavana, I was told it could be used in cooking, but due to the expense I will only use it in my tea. But it is well worth the expense in my opinion, especially if you want to taste your tea, and not the sugar.
