Teavana really pushes their rock sugar pretty hard when you go in to buy tea and eventually I relented out of sheer curiosity, although it took a few visits to finally cave in. While I do love the sweetness it adds without adding additional flavors I think it is really overpriced for a pound of sugar. I think I paid about $9/lb, but that pound really does go a long way. I only use a rock or two per 16oz serving and that is perfect for me most of the time.
I’ll likely be looking for less expensive options in the future, but it won’t be any time soon. I’ve had my sugar for nearly 5 months now and have hardly put a dent in it, I just don’t sweeten my tea very often.

They definitely do push this pretty hard. I ended up with a 3 lb jar which I don’t think I will ever finish given that I usually don’t sweeten my tea. The woman tried telling me people use this for baking and stuff however that doesn’t make much sense because you usually try to get rid of lumps in baking and I am not sure how one would smooth out a rock of sugar.
Yeah I kind of chuckled when the lady said one could use it for baking..first, like I would use overpriced sugar to bake and this stuff takes awhile to dissolve in hot tea let alone in any baking recipes lol. I bought a 5 dollar bag though, so they did get me to buy it after all.
My sugar has been in my cabinet for nearly 9 months now and I’ve hardly used it. I’m thinking about using mine as a cake decoration for my son’s third birthday, it should make the perfect rocks for his construction cake. I still can’t see baking with it though, these people suggesting that must not bake much.
