Stur Liquid Water Enhancer | Classic Variety Pack | Naturally Sweetened | High in Vitamin C & Antioxidants | Sugar Free | Zero Calories | Keto | Vegan | 5 Bottles, Makes 120 Drinks

After reading some of the negative reviews, I disagree with most! I've been buying this STUR product, water enhancer, after painstakingly investigating several others, for over two years. I was diagnosed with CKD, scared the Willy's out of me, I'm managing. This STUR is the best by far, ingredient compatible and I honestly like it! The concept is to break the bland water taste, a few drops does this without turning it into a sweetened up Kool-Aid, why not just buy Kool-Aid then? When I read a comment of " I had to use two squirts " wow, omgoodness, just buy Fruit Punch then. STUR is really a great product, if someone can recommend a just as good one, please let me know, thank you in advance. Jmt

I had made a mistake in buying another product that I believed may have been as Natural and Healthy as Stur, but in further research of that other brand after purchasing, I noticed a really bad Sugar in it. I must admit, Stur is the best product available. Thank you Stur.

If you're reading this you're likely in my position, knowing you don't drink enough water but hoping for a sweetened alternative that isn't filled with artificial stuff like aspartame. I'll leave all the subjective debate over the taste of stevia itself to other reviews. If you're buying these products I'm going to assume you are already familiar with how stevia tastes as a sweetener compared to other sweeteners out there.The purpose of my review was to test the flavor of all the Stur and Sweet Leaf Water Drops and find the best tasting ones from the bunch. In the photos you will see that I purchased the variety pack for both brands which included a total of 11 flavors. Each flavor was added to an equal amount of cold water, 8 oz with an attempted similar squeeze to each glass of the flavor drops. This is the suggested amount for both products.Between each drink I drank regular water to try and cleanse my palette. Please keep in mind that everyone has a different idea of what tastes good. Your results may vary drastically from mine. Below are my notes.Stur FlavorsTropical O-Mango - Too artificial. The orange note is too floral.Boldy Blue Blackberry - Very mild in flavor compared to all others. Might be good for someone who wants a very subtle flavor but I found that you would have to add more of this one than the others to get the same strength.Pomegranate Cranberry - After learning how to spell pomegranate correctly... ok... this one had just an odd flavor and to me didn't evoke either fruit. Possibly more cranberry than pomegranate. This one might appeal to those looking for something with a bit of a sour note.Fruit Punch - Good. A fairly predictable flavor if you are familiar with fruit punch from other artificial drinks but this one tastes more subtle and natural.Strawberry Watermelon - The best of all the Stur flavors and the best out of all the flavors of both products. A very sweet pleasantly smooth flavor with the brightness of the strawberry hitting at first then the earthy watermelon trailing after.Sweet Leaf Water DropsLemon Lime - Not so great. The lime left a bit of a soapy aftertaste.Mixed Berry - Very light flavor with too much floral aftertastePeach Mango - This one had a very artificial taste. Reminded me too much of peach gummies.Raspberry Lemonade - This one was decent but would have preferred strawberry instead of raspberry. The raspberry flavor was too floral.Tropical Punch - Great. It was complex in a good way with not any strange aftertaste. The pineapple came through in a pleasant way. The best of the Sweet Leaf flavors.Strawberry Kiwi - The second best of the Sweet Leaf flavors. A great level of sweetness for the amount of drops added. The strawberry and kiwi are equally in concert here with very little stevia aftertaste and no artificial qualities.To summarize and rank the top four among both brands they are:1st - Stur Strawberry Watermelon2nd - Sweet Leaf Tropical Punch3rd - Sweet Leaf Strawberry Kiwi4th - Stur freshly Fruit PunchThat's it folks. I hope you find the review helpful. Try the top four I'm sure you'll find one in the bunch that hits the right spot.

Tastes great! I bought this stuff to flavor my water with. The packs at work were costing a bit too much and lacked verity. The flavors are very good, and it lasts a lot longer than just a single packet of powder. The bottle is solid, and doesn’t leak, so messes aren’t an issue.

I love all of the STUR flavors but Peach Mango is one of my favorites. You don’t need a lot to add flavor and Stevia sweetness without an aftertaste. I add one squirt to a pitcher of iced tea and it is perfect.

So far I have enjoyed each flavor.I for sure will get another pack of these or maybe just the Grape and Mango.I will say though I found that I like to put the grape flavor in my Mt-Dew just add a different taste to it.It has increased the amount of water I drink since it adds something different to it.

Firstly, all my reviews are objective and I take the time with the product(s) before leaving any review as I want to ensure that I stay fair, objective and without bias, while at the same time capturing the elements of my experience and what I feel others would like to know.Like many others, I have mostly dropped all sodas and switched to water enhancers when I want something more than water. I'm also shunning artificial sweeteners and looking for natural products such as Monk fruit and Stevia. I had read about Stur and wanted to give it a try.Also know that when I'm at home, I usually drink a fair amount of water and much of that will be with the use of the Soda Stream, which my daugther (15) and I swear by. When I use water enhancers, I almost always do so as a carbonated drink via the Soda Stream.I ordered the (6) pack variety as I wanted to gauge all the flavors and get an idea about value, taste, etc. We had been using Mio before making the change to anything not artificial. Including shipping the price came to $28.69 or $4.78 each.Firstly, the packaging is pleasing and I do like the included flip tops. Makes it easy. I was impressed with the size of the bottle but upon further inspection, each one is only about 2/3 full so it's a little misleading. It's also about 10% less in volume than the Mio we use so size of bottle isn't really important.As I said previously, I use the Soda Stream and the 1 Liter bottle. 1 Liter is approximately 34 oz. or just over 4 of the 8 oz. servings that they mention on the bottle (each bottle of Stur they say yields 20 8 oz. drinks).With that in mind I started tasting some of the flavors. We ended up with our favorites, mine being the Strawberry Watermelon and the Orange Mango and my daughter the Pomegranate Cranberry. I burned one bottle of the Strawberry Watermelon to determine where I felt the best flavor ratio was. For me it came to just under 3 squirts, not quite a second each in my estimation. Using this ratio, I got almost exactly (3) liters of water, or roughly 102 oz. Note Stur says each package should yield (8) 20 oz. drinks. At the ideal ratio, that made each Soda Stream liter equated to about $1.60. Not cheap from a pure price level (without factoring the health benefits, etc.)With another bottle of the Strawberry I backed down the ratio to (2) squirts of the same duration. This yielded very close to (5) liters of flavored water which dropped the cost to about $0.96 per liter. Better. At this ratio, the Stur bottle will yield about 170 oz., a bit more than the the label listing.For relativity sake one liter is a decent amount of liquid and I usually split it up into two drinks, roughly 16 oz. each. If you want to break the cost down into 8 oz. servings, each liter has roughly 4.25 8 oz. servings. So with two squirts, your 8 oz. serving cost is about $0.23.TasteAs far as taste goes, while (3) squirts was fine, I do find (2) acceptable, perhaps a bit weak. 2.5 squirts would yield a better flavor but I'm trying to get used to a weaker drink because I'm trying to get away from too much "sweetening" just for my own palette. The flavoring I find to be just fine. It's certainly not Mio as that is one strong enhancer, but the artificial aspect is one we're trying to get away from so we expected less potency. At a ratio that you'll find appealing, I think you'll find the flavors to be rather good. I have no issues with the taste or the 'artificial' quality of the flavor.ValueMy biggest issue is value which is the only reason I give Stur three stars. At approx. $0.48 per drink I'm struggling with the value proposition and having a hard time wanting to reorder. Some of the issue is the nearly $6.00 in shipping. If you have Prime or get free shipping, this lowers the cost per bottle from $4.78 to $3.83 or roughly 25%. This takes the liter charge down to $0.72 each an $0.17 per 8 oz. serving. Much better.Overall, I really like the product itself and would buy it without question considering the healthier aspects to using Stur if not for the cost. In my mind, the cost is such that it makes me question if I shouldn't just be drinking good ol' fashioned plain water. Without the shipping cost, I'm much more inclined to purchase so I may experiment with only ordering at times when shipping is free.
