Zevia Zero Sugar Soda, Black Cherry, 12 oz Cans (24-Pack) – Naturally Sweetened, Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, Vegan

Zevia is some of my favorite sodas, though not all flavors are created equal. Black cherry and creamy root beer are the best, IMO. All are clear. The stevia has good sweetening, without the syrupy texture of "regular" soda. Flavors are not super-intense. Shipping: they are sold in a flat. The Amazon box is oversized and the shrink wrap invariably comes loose a bit and a couple of cans escape containment. Don't order with sharp objects.

I’m somewhat addicted to Zevia, lol. I’m not a soda drinker overall, but I do like the bubbles once in a while. I can’t do the high amount of sugar in regular soda so this is a nice alternative. I already use Stevia in things so that taste is good for me. Black cherry is absolutely amazing although I could recommend almost every one of the flavors on this line. Right now I’m drinking 3 to 4 of these a day which I know is ridiculous but that’s how yummy they are.

Good flavor, no sugar, no fat. Lightly sweetened with stevia.

This is by far my favorite soda and with the fact that there’s no sugar and it taste great and buying it from Amazon is an extreme cost saving I would suggest this soda to anybody who wants something to taste good without the sugar.

Let me start by saying I love this brand of soda. My favorites are the black cherry, cherry cola and lemon lime. I’ve tried a lot of no sugar soda’s to curb my regular soda intake and other brands never hit the same with both flavor and “soda burn”(regular soda drinkers will get this) This brand hit all I wanted in a soda. Are they the same as a good old Coke or Dr. Pepper…no, but close and natural. So I’ve been buying these for years from the store and Amazon and been happy. The reason for not giving 5 stars isn’t because of the product itself but recent order. I received my usual black cherry 24 pack but the packaging it’s in was busted in several places, which caused severe damage to numerous cans. Several cans were out of its packaging inside the Amazon box, three were so warped that I had to throw away and 80% of the rest had significant dents. Unsure if the dents will affect the soda yet, but past experience says it will. The box it arrived in was fine, so not the delivery persons fault. I think the original package had tears in the plastic but still shipped, causing some cans to fall out and tossed around during shipping. Just a warning this may happen to you. Perhaps the packaging people should be told not to ship torn packages in case this happens. The soda and price is great, if all 24 cans are consumable.

So far, I have tried seven flavors. Let me start by explaining that this is more of a stevia sweetened, flavored carbonated water. There’s zero sodium, nasty chemicals or fake coloring. If you eat carbs/regular sugar, you will likely get a fairly strong aftertaste. If you’re off the sugar and other naughty carbs, most of these won’t present any aftertastes. Below I have ranked the flavors I’ve tried in order from favorite to least favorite, along with my reasons for loving or just being okay with each flavor. Black Cherry: This has tons of bright, bold flavor. It reminds me of the slurpies I used to love before I quit sugar. I love it!!! Grape: Tastes just like Welch’s grape soda to me, which was my favorite as a child. Strawberry: Also tastes like Welch’s strawberry but not quite as bold. It’s simply less sweet tasting and more refreshing, which is nice on a hot day. Cherry Cola: Reminds me of Wild Cherry Pepsi but less sweet with a very slight aftertaste. Cream Soda: Think Shasta cream soda with a bit of a lingering vanilla aftertaste. It’ll definitely do the trick when you’re craving something sweeter. Ginger Root Beer: This has a stronger aftertaste as most root beer does. It tastes more like Barq’s, which tends to be my least favorite of root beer. Dr. Zevia: Not bad but not great. It’s definitely not as good as Dr. Pepper. It has a peach/apricot aftertaste. I would drink it if I needed the carbonation and didn’t have another option.

UPDATED REVIEW: THEY ABSOLUTELY RUINED ZEVIA'S BLACK CHERRY SODA AND LIED ABOUT IT. When I contacted them about the latest shipment from Amazon of a 24-can case I received being absolutely horrific and undrinkable, they told me THE INGREDIENTS HAD NOT CHANGED. However, I just bought a 6-pack at the local Supermarket, hoping it was just a one-time time thing, and THE BOX IS CLEARLY LABELED "NEW GREAT TASTE". IT IS NOT AN UNDERSTATEMENT TO SAY THE TASTE IS SO ARTIFICIAL AND CHEMICAL, I WOULD NOT DRINK IT FOR FEAR OF TOXICITY. BOYCOTT ZEVIA UNTIL THEY STOP PLAYING GAMES. THEY'VE RUINED A PERFECTLY GOOD SODA. My family and I have been using Zevia soda daily for years and years and have always found it delightfully refreshing and tasty, with just the right touch of flavor. We just received a new delivery of 24 cans which had entirely new branding. The new taste is absolutely frightening. It tastes like some kind of chemical and is completely intolerable. I am not at all fussy. I will also not say what the biological after-effects of drinking it were, as this is Amazon and I don't want to include anything of that nature. Will have to cancel the subscription as it is impossible to drink this junk. I am very concerned about what they are suddenly putting in it for flavor.

When delivered, several cans were crushed and one was leaking. Need better packaging so they don't get messed up during delivery. Don't want to return as we need the ones that are ok. Actually love this soda.
