Zevia® Natural Cola stevia soda is the crowd-pleaser among the Zevia® Natural Diet Soda varieties. Its classic cola flavor is rarely found in so-called "natural" soda brands because a traditional cola taste is difficult to perfect without artificial ingredients. Zevia® Natural Cola with stevia is even more appetizing when you know that all the ingredients are absolutely pure and natural. The Zevia team spent extensive time (and drank a lot of colas and “test” product) to make sure this Zevia® product would satisfy a cola drinker. Learn about the pure, all natural ingredients in Zevia® Natural Cola.
Stevia is a natural herb native to South and Central America. For centuries, native Americans of Paraguay and Brazil called it "sweet leaf" and used it to sweeten native foods. Stevia is used as a food additive in China, Japan, all of South America and in the United States. The extract from the stevia leaf has no calories, no effect on blood sugar levels, and is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar. Stevia sweetens all seven Zevia® Natural Diet Soda flavors.
Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol found in fruits and vegetables, has no calories, and has no effect on blood sugar levels. Erythritol is used in all seven Zevia® Natural Diet Soda flavors.
Zevia® Natural Cola stevia soda is colored with natural caramel.
Citric acid is naturally concentrated in oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, lemons and limes. Natural citric acid adds to the refreshing flavor of all seven Zevia® Natural Diet Soda flavors.
The kola nut in Zevia® Natural Cola stevia soda is from a tree native to Central and Western Africa. Its extract provides Zevia® Natural Cola's distinctive classic cola flavor. The kola nut contains naturally occurring caffeine, as well as theobromine, a stimulating ingredient also found in chocolate and green tea.
Tartaric acid occurs naturally in many plants, particularly grapes, bananas, and tamarinds, and is also found in wine. Most colas use cheap, harmful phosphoric acid for flavor. Phosphoric acid is used in fertilizers and detergents. It erodes tooth enamel and has been linked to depletion of calcium, a contributing factor in osteoporosis. Safe, natural tartaric acid enhances Zevia® Natural Cola's zesty, tangy flavor.
Most diet sodas use artificially produced caffeine. The natural caffeine in Zevia® Natural Cola stevia soda comes from coffee and tea.
Fumaric acid occurs naturally in flowers and mushrooms. It contributes to Zevia® Natural Cola’s refreshing flavor.
