Is MM that much better?

<<If you send your bottles to me, your cost would be $20.00 for 16 oz.>>

We can get it from Steve for:

Peppermint EO

Steve Simonson, Spearmint Springs

tfl3074@...

We grow mint and herbs in western Montana. I currently have distilled 800

pounds of 1999 peppermint oil. My price is $18.00/pound for quantities under

10 pounds and $14.00 over 10#.

YAY YAY to the mint co-op. Do you want us to send amber bottles or plastic

or do you care? And.. thanks for the triple color soap help. Guess

what I'm doing tomorrow??? Fruit Sherbet with raspberry, peach and lime!

As far as FO's go, I probably wouldn't buy either one of those and will go

along with the crowd. For a change....rofl!

Thanks alot, .

] No - was thinking something " spring " -ish as that's probably what we'll be

] soaping for then. I asked pricing on her apple-pear (one of my all time

] favorites!) and rose petals (another killer). She hasn't gotten her samples

] yet and I want to get this going so I probably won't wait for them either.

] Check out her FO page - any ones catch your eye? I'm open to suggestions!

apple-pear is always a good choice....))) If you have her url handy,

I'll go check it out, please???

<Will the pricing be worth our while to send you our bottles????>

Valid question! Sorry I forgot to put in the information on the first

email. If you send your bottles to me, your cost would be $20.00 for 16 oz.

There would be no incoming freight charges and no bottle charges.

However, if I had to purchase bottles, there would be a bottle cost, an

incoming freight cost for the bottles plus I'd have to up the price a tad to

allow for tape and packing material (as I'd try to get the boxes from USPS).

Does that help a bit?

<Is MM that much better?>

I know that there are differences in oils. Some are superior and some

aren't. Having never ordered, sniffed or used any of this other person's

oils, I can't comment. However, I have sniffed enough mint eo's to know

that I personally would never purchase mint eo's from anyone else except

Mint Meadows. You see, once I find a supplier who puts out a consistently

excellent product, has excellent service at good pricing, I am loyal to the

core and won't purchase from anyone else.

You need to do what you see fit for your situation. I have learned from

experience that there is a difference in oils. An example is some patchouli

EO that I purchased from two sources. One was obviously cut with alcohol (I

smelled it upon opening of the bottle) and very inferior - I had to use

twice the amount and it didn't handle well in soap. The other was rich,

warm and lovely. I needed less oil and it reacted beautifully to my

applications. Many examples of this have shown me that you get what you pay

for. But again, I have never ordered, sniffed, etc. any of this person's

scents so I cannot give you a comparison.

I do know, however, that Mint Meadows has a very good reputation and has a

superior product. Deb's hubby is on the WI State Mint Board and they take

this business very seriously.

Again, do what you need to for you. =o)

As for bottles, shoot. I don't care. Send me a shampoo bottle for all I

care. The only thing I ask is that you don't send canning jars. The lids

don't hold the seal and the stuff on the lids seep into the oils.

Ask me how I know. <G>

But, you send me a dirty bottle, I'll return the dirty bottle to you with

the oil inside it. I'm not a dishwasher. *LOL*
