I tried the white stevia powder, and didn't like the taste, so I knew what I was in for. Thought I'd give it another try though, as a sugar alternative and supplement.
Pros: What I like is that this seems to be natural and unprocessed. Its greenish, appears to be powdered leaf form. I'm assuming there are no other ingredients, as I didn't see any listed on the container. Its got small sprinkle holes in the top of the container for shaking it out, and a bigger open hole for pouring.
It tastes similar to white stevia, but it also has an "herbal" taste. Almost like a green tea. Its a leaf. It tastes like a dried leaf. I've only used it in cold beverages, and it balls up on top of the liquid. It takes a little stirring, and the balls don't completely go away, but its not a big deal to me.
I don't use much. I can taste the sweetness, but it seems like I'd have to use half a teaspoonful to sweeten a cup of beverage. If that's the case, the container won't go far. However, this particular product isn't being marketed as much of a sweetener as it is a supplement.
If you're using this as a supplement (with the added benefit of sweetness) then its pretty good. You can add it to your mouth rinse or whatever you use it for.
If you're using it as a sweetener, be warned that it doesn't dissolve too well, and its got a leafy taste.

Stevia is a white-flowered herb native to Paraguay. Its use by indigenous cultures dates back more than 400 years and it is an integral part of the Paraguayan diet. Its primary constituents, known as steviosides, are found predominantly in the leaves. Planetary Formulas Stevia Powder is made from the pure leaves of the plant, which are finely milled for maximum convenience. Green powder is made up of the whole stevia leaf. The White Powder is the sweetening portion of the stevia leaf removed through a water process and crystallized. This is called stevia extract or concentrate, it can be up to 400 times sweeter than sugar. The green powder contains more nutrients and phytonutrients and also has a stronger licorice flavouring.

This contains maltodextrin, which has a glycemic index (GI) of 137. Refined white cane sugar has a GI of 100.
Therefore, at 15 mg, the effect on your blood glucose and insulin is the same as if this stevia was mixed with 21% pure white sugar.
Not good enough for me. Try Stevita or SweetLeaf brands, they don't contain anything that will spike your blood sugar like this brand.
