One small step!

Botanica Base Samples Arrive! Our base samples arrived on Friday!! This is the first step in providing the formula. The base sample is all the ingredients that are needed to create a shelf stable product, minus all the flavours. In other words R/O water with some stabilizers, sweetness, natural preservatives and any other components. If the base taste is ok then we add the flavours. It is hard to determine what may or may not taste desirable when you have all the ingredients at once, so we test them separately. eg. If a new flavour does not taste to our satisfaction then we know it has to be only the flavour combinations not the base ingredients. This makes it easier to alter the formula without re-developing the whole thing.We will be moving along much faster once we approve the base sample.I am so excited!!
