more tulips and more boxes

There we go again: A new week, all fresh and exciting. I will continue there where I stopped last week: Orders from retailers need to get into boxes and onto their way over the alps or the oceans. Actually, the last few days were simply astonishing.  We got so much going on around here, and […]

Fragrant greetings to you all from spring wonderland where everything seems to bloom and thrive these days. Days, by the way, where the little tauer factory produces a lot of ZETA. Thus, this is an educative post: Ever wondered how the juice gets into the bottles? Here is how… see the picture to the left. […]
