1. A process for preparing a steviol glycosides composition comprising the steps of:
a) providing Stevia rebaudiana plant biomass comprising at least one steviol glycoside, wherein said biomass is from a cultivar of Stevia rebaudiana 16105004 or B401084, wherein representative samples of plant tissues of said cultivars were deposited under CGMCC Accession No. 13389 and 13390;
b) providing solvent;
c) contacting the Stevia rebaudiana plant biomass with solvent to extract at least one steviol glycoside from the plant biomass;
d) separating the Stevia rebaudiana plant biomass to obtain steviol glycosides composition comprising at least one steviol glycoside;
wherein the step (a) Stevia rebaudiana plant biomass provided is from a cultivar of Stevia rebaudiana wherein the % ratio of SvGn family steviol glycosides content to TSG content is in the range from about 97.15% to about 100%.
