Not All Herbs Are Alike
You are nearly out
of Basil, so you pick some up the next time you go to the grocery
store. But have you ever stopped to consider what you were buying?
How long has that jar been sitting on the grocery store shelf? How
much time did it spend in a warehouse before being shipped to the
store? For that matter, where was it grown? How was it harvested and
dried? Where was it packaged? Have you looked at the cost per
pound?
You decide to start drinking herbal teas, maybe to
help improve your health, maybe just to get away from
caffeine. But what are you really drinking? Are the
herbs used organic? Wild harvested? Or farmed using
chemicals you really don't want to know about? If the herbs
were wild harvested, were they harvested sustainably, so the herbs
can come back the next year? Or was the area effectively
'strip-picked' (which will cause costs to rise as supply
dwindles)?
And does it matter?
It
Matters
All of our dried
herbs, botanicals and seasonings are strictly selected from the
finest harvests and our supplier has meticulously reviewed and
analyzed all materials to promise you an herbal product that
is fresh, colorful, and fragrant.
Our supplier's line of
organics is the first choice for respected authors, herbalists,
stores, scientists, manufacturers, students and schools. Since 1987
they have continually come to our supplier to satisfy
their botanical requirements.
Our supplier acts as a
direct liaison and processor with farmers and growers all across the
globe, through long and fruitful relationships which have been
cultivated for many years.
We are confident not
only in the quality of material you may order but the ethics
involved with their preparation and handling. If you feel beguiled
and often frustrated with the inferior quality of "Mass Market"
herbs that have been on market shelves and within stores inventories
for months and sometimes years, then you can count on us to
deliver a product that is unsurpassed in quality and
freshness.
Our wild harvested
herbs are harvested sustainably. Only ten percent of the herbs in any
given area are taken.
The entire line of bulk
organic herbs offered by our supplier has been grown,
processed and handled with oversight and certification from a third
party certification agency. We will happily provide copies of our
organic certificate upon request.
