Update on the Anatolian Treasures Website ** Hydrosols

[Guest guest]

Hi y'all,

 

Its me again. ;-p In my other post I stated that I had just received

1,200 + kilos of Turkish EOs and Hydrosols in MD.

 

That shipment includes the following TURKISH hydrosols .. some of which

had been out of stock:

 

Rosemary, Cineole (R. officinalis) ........ Hydrosol

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) ................ Hydrosol

Lavender (Lavandula stoechas) ............. Hydrosol

Myrtle Leaf (Myrtus communis) ............. Hydrosol

Chaste Tree FRUIT (Vitex agnus castus) .... Hydrosol

 

The Chaste Tree Hydrosol is the FIRST and ONLY ever offered in the US.

 

The NEW prices of Hydrosols WILL BE posted as:

You provide you own spray bottle .. I just give you 16 ounces for less

than most folks charge for 4 ounces. ;-p

 

We have roughly 7 gallons of Lemon Tea Tree Hydrosol in stock.

We have roughly 3 gallons of Lemon Myrtle Hydrosol in stock.

We have exactly 0 gallons of Tea Tree Hydrosol in stock.

 

When these Australian Hydrosols are out of stock, I will not offer them

again until after I can make a trip to Australia .. because my distiller

in Oz, Dennis Archer, has sold his farm and I don't trust distillers I

don't know. International shipping is too costly .. especially when I

don't have 100% confidence in what I'll be getting.

 

Folks ask me why I don't offer Neroli Hydrosol. The answer is cause I

haven't found any that's high quality. I'm sure that I will not find

any unless I travel to Tunisia again .. which I plan to.

 

They ask me why I don't offer the Chamomile Hydrosols .. because I can't

buy and pay shipping costs on QUALITY German Chamomile Hydrosol without

then selling it for over $100 a gallon .. and folks won't pay that when

they can get it for $75 a gallon. As for Roman Chamomile, I'd have to

sell it for $75 a gallon and there is some sold for $60. I'm not saying

they are doing it .. but cutting Hydrosols with distilled water is NOT

uncommon in this trade. Especially so-called Orange Blossom Hydrosol

from France and ANY Oregano or Rosemary Hydrosol direct from Istanbul,

Turkey. I offer none of that crap!!!!

 

The cost of Hydrosols is in the barrels and shipping cost .. Hydrosols

themselves are cheaper than dirt. So why do they cut them? Damned if I

know .. but there are two companies in Istanbul that do ... they told me

they do! Of course, testing should be included in costs too .. but few

sellers test them. Ours are tested every 90 days at one of two labs:

 

Superior Labs, Inc.

2514 Billingsly Road

Columbus, Ohio 43235

Tel: (614) 793-8778; (800) 886-5227 .. Fax: (614) 793-2172

 

AND/OR

 

National Testing Laboratories, Ltd.

556 South Mansfield

Ypsilanti, MI 48197-5166

Tel: (440) 449-2525 .. Fax: (440) 449-8585

 

And .. since I bought three metric tons this year, I can offer 50

kilogram drums of Rose Hydrosol for a pretty good price.

 

A 50 kilogram can of Turkish Rose Hydrosol has a Net Weight of around

110.25 pounds .. or 13.78 gallons.

 

If you buy 5 gallons .. or 40 lbs .. or 18.14 kilos .. it costs you

$41.97 per gallon .. or $5.25 per pound .. for a total of $209.85.

 

A 50 kilo drum .. or 110.25 lbs .. or .. 13.78 gallons .. costs $27 a

gallon .. or $3.37 a pound .. or $372.06 for the barrel. That is a

savings of Thirty-Six Percent (36%) which ain't chicken feed.

 

AND .. the cost of shipping will be considerably less than it would be a

gallon or five at a time.

 

It would be shipped from Friendsville, MD ... cost is very reasonable.

We have recently sent THREE 50 kilo drums to Canada, FOUR to Taiwan and

SEVEN 50 kilo drums to Australia. And, we have sent them to US buyers.

If you ever wanted to take a bath in Rose Hydrosol .. now's the time.

 

The below two U.S. Hydrosols are in Maryland now but not on the site.

Both are Certified Organic and both are at least $20 a gallon less than

anyone offers them .. BUT they're more costly than my other Hydrosols ..

especially my Rose Hydrosol, which might confuse some people because

Rose Hydrosol is normally much higher. But I can control the price of

Turkish Origin Hydrosols .. especially the Rose Hydrosol as I buy it in

TONS and all come straight from the still. But the below Hydrosols were

bought through a middle man so my costs were much higher. They are:

 

Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium) ....... Certified Organic ... USA

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) ... Certified Organic ... USA
