Absinthe was first popularized in 19th-century France and has been enjoyed through the years by the likes of Edgar Degas, Toulouse Lautrec, Picasso, Oscar Wilde & Ernest Hemingway. The oldest technique for making absinthe is simply to steep wormwood and other spices like star anise, anise seed, fennel, hyssop, angelica root, coriander or peppermint in an alcoholic drink like beer, wine or a neutral spirit (we're talking the serious stuff: grain alcohols like vodka). Our kit provides the ingredients to make your own traditional, steeped recipes! The kit al...

We just redesigned some of our superb spa and home products and threw 'em together as a pampering package for moms and their little ones. Say hello to the Babies Love Organics Family Kit! "Forty-two days of care for forty-two years ...." According to the 6,000 year-old medical texts in Ayurveda, moms are as psycho-physiologically delicate as their newborn babes for forty-two days after childbirth. But moms have so much to do during the first months of their babe's lives that they often sacrifice their physical well-being for their child's needs. Ayurvedic tradition stresses the necessity for mutual rejuvenation - for baby and mommy alike - during this special forty-two day window, so that mama can nurture and provide for her babe and the world for the next forty-two years!

Rose and an Amaranth blossomed side by side in a garden, and the Amaranth said to her neighbor, "How I envy you your beauty and your sweet scent! No wonder you are such a universal favourite." But the Rose replied with a shade of sadness in her voice, "Ah, my dear friend, I bloom but for a time: my petals soon wither and fall, and then I die. But your flowers never fade, even if they are cut; for they are everlasting." Aesop's Fables We're starting a new feature on this blog, something I'd like to call our Hump Day Special.

Attached at the end of this post is what we like to think of as our Mission Statement, or the guiding principles that everyone here at eSutras Organics live by. It's part business model, part waxing philosophical and it's a little wordy, which is why I haven't included it in the text of this post. But, to summarize: + We're trying to succeed as a manufacturing company in the United States. We've got pretty high overhead costs, fair salaries, nothing automated here. And we're making it work. + We make gourmet, yet affordable, sustainable, vegetarian (and sometimes vegan), cruelty-free items made in small batches by careful hands, packaged and perfected from conception to conclusion. As we always say, "Beautiful products for beautiful people doing beautiful things." We hope you enjoy. esutras_missionstatement Shop online at eSutras Organics today!
