It's Turbinado sugar. Essentially brown sugar but bigger crystals.
People want it because it's less refined compared to white sugar and still contains molasses.
I assume the fact that the crystals are bigger means you require more.
OP seems to be using it to sweeten a drink, so the crystal size should only affect how long it takes to dissolve, not how sweet it tastes. The additional flavor from the molasses might make it seem a little less sweet than white sugar, but only a little.
Unless OP isn’t giving the crystals sufficient time to dissolve, which would give it the appearance of having less sweetening power
Which is pretty much guaranteed with a cold drink. Any other brand of "natural" cane sugar has normal sized crystals, its really annoying getting these stupid big crystals in a coffee shop.
