23/07/21 at 17.35pm: Adam Michael here, about to finish for today but before I do I have a little update : )
The TEST order to Australia was a success, sailing through customs like pre-covid times. Therefore, in September (so after our holiday) Australia will be added back to the list of countries we can supply. Next, when we are off work in August, I am musing on cutting the offering of natural isolates and essential oils we offer by as many as 30 lines. I will touch on this more in the final newsletter and welcome thoughts from clients. Also, before we close for the holiday, I will be uploading Egyptian Orange Blossom Absolute, however it won’t be for sale as a standalone material (it also won’t make for a pleasant reading at all) BUT will feature in September’s new product releases, which includes an Orange Blossom and Neroli sample set. In September I have some more big-ticket releases lined up, including two possible oud custom distillations exclusive for Hermitage. I also have sourced more protium copal resin plus a wonderful peppery elemi resin. And the updated wholesale list that will feature more aromatics will be available to download at the start of September. Please remember if you are in the E.U, the last time for placing an order is the 27th July. And in preparation of our August holiday, all NON-E.U shipping destinations have now been switched off from our website. Thanks to all who support us and kind regards, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say “Smelling the aroma of Fever Tea Essential Oil is a rich, uplifting-fruity experience with lots of tropical fruit sweetness and delicate boozy hop infused fruit undertones throughout. Also this aroma is reminiscent to me of pouring sticky mango juice into a glass on a hot summer’s day and serving with lashings of ice cubes. The colour is pale orange and of a pourable viscosity. As for uses this material is a must for building tropical fruit accords, is a must for building juicy mango notes and pairs beautifully with our mango leaf absolute.”
Fever Tea Essential Oil is also known as Wild Verbena and in this instance is obtained by steam distilling the leaves and stems. Growing location and time of extraction clearly have a serious bearing on the chemistry with absolutely huge fluctuations in percentages of Myrcene, Geraniol, and Linalool (1%-50%) reported which will alter the aroma profile greatly and may explain why my reading material suggests aroma profiles I do not detect at all with the batches I have sampled.
Botanical Name: Lippia javanica

Lovely mango or nectarine rind aroma with a fresh uplifting wild mint peppery undertone. Like Adam says blends beautifully with mango leaf though I have had some success experimenting with cardamom abs and jasmine as well
