* New Flavor Alert * !
You know me- Always on the hunt for the newest flavors, snacks & goodies for me to eat and for you to read about. Which is why I contacted Zevia, the all natural soda sweetened with Stevia, and asked them to try their new flavor, Dr. Zevia. They generously sent me their new flavor to try, and I was super excited. I have already reviewed (and loved!) their other flavors, you can check that out here.
Now, onto the taste.
Honestly- I did remind me A LOT of Dr. Pepper. This was good in my eyes, because growing up, I always liked Dr. Pepper, but it wasn’t a very popular flavor. It was always a treat when I got one, and I especially always remember drinking it while going out to eat with my mom at our local pizza place. So, this soda brought me back some memories too! 🙂
The flavor is a mixture of cola and cherry flavors, with a slight spice aftertaste. It sort of reminded me of clove or nutmeg, one of those spices you make pumpkin pie with. It isn’t very sweet, but more of a “savory” flavor. Like I said- it would go perfect with a piping hot slice of cheesy pizza or Amy’s Non Dairy Pot Pie (we love you, Amy’s!).
This one, by itself, also gets 4 stars. How awesome is a soda with zero calories, zero sugar, no artificial flavors/preservatives and has awesome taste? 😀 Zevia’s Dr. Zevia, Black Cherry, and Root Beer flavors are my favorite of Zevia‘s line. Which ones do you guys like?

I can’t wait to find this on store shelves!
**pinch me** .. dr. pepper is my ALL TIME FAVORITE SODA! ahhh.. must find this!
one of my favs, too! such a treat! Whole Foods will prolly get it soon- or at least I hope so!
I LOVE Zevia…can’t say the same about the price, though 🙁 I can’t wait to try this flavor, thanks for the review!
yea- 5.99$ for a 6 pack at whole foods is a little steep.. and online a case is pretty expensive too. I do wish the price would come down a bit too! But, like a lot of organic or all natural stuff I buy (and spend my whole paycheck on…) so worth it! 🙂 glad you enjoyed the review !
I haven’t tried Zevia in a while and now everyone is raving, I gotta get my hands on some 🙂
