HEYTEA Singapore is now offering customers the option of having the all-natural “Skinny Sugar” sweetener instead of the standard all-natural rock sugar in more than 90% of their beverages at all their outlets. This new healthier alternative helps you to reduce your calorie count and sugar intake by 90% and beyond!

A Healthier, but Equally Delicious Alternative
China’s number 1 contemporary tea connoisseur, HEYTEA has always been the trend-setter in the tea-drinking scene, and it comes as no surprise that HEYTEA was also the first to specially curate and offer an all-natural “Skinny Sugar” sweetener as a healthier alternative in its beverages. The all-natural sweetener HEYTEA fondly calls as “Skinny Sugar” boasts a lot of good qualities but one that’s especially worth the mention is the fact that it reduces your calories count and sugar intake by a whopping 90% and beyond!

In Singapore, the recommended daily sugar intake is no more than 10 teaspoons or 200 calories. The Health Promotion Board has been encouraging the public to substitute refined sugars with all-natural sugars. All beverages sold in government agencies have to be sugar-free or low-sugar. The healthier all-natural Stevia sweetener used predominantly in HEYTEA’s “Skinny Sugar” has a substantial reduced sugar content, adhering to the Health Promotion Board’s ideal standards of low-sugar and low-calorie. In light of the Health Promotion Board’s national efforts to encourage healthier eating choices, HEYTEA hopes to offer customers a healthier alternative.

Natural and Healthy, Stevia is World’s Number 1 Sugar Substitute
HEYTEA’s “Skinny Sugar” uses predominantly the all-natural Stevia sweetener. Stevia is a natural sweetener, derived from the stevia rebaudiana plant. Compared to refined sugars which are made by man, stevia comes from a natural source and is hence, healthier for consumption. Since its documentation hundreds of years ago in the 19th century when a Swiss Botanist in South America brought it back home with him, Stevia has been long used by man as a sugar substitute.

Today, the all-natural sweetener is recognized by many food safety authorities all over the world including the Food and Drug Administration of the United States and the European Food Safety Authority etc. It has gained a fond name for itself as the “World’s Third Sugar Source”. Due to its low sugar content, Stevia does not result in sugar spikes and do not affect blood sugar or insulin levels, making it the best sugar substitute for both diabetics and those at risk of diabetes! Even though Stevia is a potent sweetener, it does no harm to your teeth and has numerous benefits such as regulating hypertension and helping with candidiasis etc., making it an increasingly important sugar substitute.

Top 4 Reasons to Choose HEYTEA’s “Skinny Sugar”

• Healthy and Natural
  HEYTEA’s “Skinny Sugar” uses predominantly the all-natural Stevia sweetener. Raw leaves of the stevia rebaudiana plant are approximately 40 times sweeter than sugar, and the powdered Stevia sweetener derived from them is up to 200-300 times sweeter. Only a tiny bit of Stevia will suffice for most of your sugar-free recipes. Stevia’s shelf life is an estimated 5 years, making it a worthwhile investment for your health!
• Contains Reduced Calories
  HEYTEA’s “Skinny Sugar” has achieved the China’s ideal standards of low-sugar and low-calorie.
