Jaffa Super Kesähedelmät

Sparkling day to everyone!

I'm in a great mood because I got to taste Hartwall's new stevia sweetened soft drink called Jaffa Super Kesähedelmät (in English Jaffa Super Summer fruit). If you have been following my blog, you might remember my post about Hartwall's other products sweetened with stevia. If you don't, you can read it from here. 

According to Hartwall's product manager Outi Lahtinen, Finns have been really excited about Hartwall's stevia products and the excisting flavors have been flying off the shelves. They have also gotten a lot of positive feedback. That is why Hartwall has decided to release a new soda flavor. Welcome to Jaffa Super Kesähedelmät!

Jaffa Super Kesähedelmät gets its taste from papaya, white grapefruit and guanábana. At first I was a bit hesitant and thought it might taste bit too sour because of the grapefruit. I also had no idea how guanábana would taste like. Thankfully my initial thoughts were so wrong!

Kesähedelmät tastes sweet and juicy; it is like biting into a ripe and lush fruit. Yummy! I was pleasantly surprised. I think this might be my favorite of all the stevia sweetened drinks.

By the way, if you were also wondering about guanábana, let me tell you what wikipedia tells about its taste. Its says: "Guanábana flavor has been described as a combination of strawberry and pineapple with sour citrus flavor notes contrasting with an underlying creamy flavor reminiscent of coconut or banana".

Jaffa Super Kesähedelmät comes in two sizes: 0,5 liter and 1,5 liter bottles. It has very calories, only 20 kcal/100 ml. Besides papaya, white grape fruit, guanábana and stevia, Jaffa Super Kesähedelmät has a little bit of fructose to add on extra sweetness.

 Cheers everyone!

I'm glad to have Jaffa Super Kesähedelmät as a new option for soft drinks. It tastes great and it has very few calories without much artificial crap. I love stevia! I'm still waiting for stevia sweetened cola though...

Thank you Hartwall!
