Boston round bottles were what Rene Caisse used to bottle up her Essiac decoction. Mary used to be the one that packed them for shipping to customers too far away to come by Rene's home to get their tea. Our bottles are blue. The tinted bottle helps keep the light off the decoction which helps better preserve the potency of the contents.
The 8 oz. (1 cup, or 240ml) size is good for the smaller dosages, as the larger bottles may not all get used before the end of the typical shelf life of 2-4 weeks for an opened bottle.They are also good for taking a few days' supply of Essiac on the road. Make your decoction with half the recommended amount of water. It will fit in bottles half the usual size. Cut your serving size in half (instead of 1 or 2 oz. of decoction added to 2 - 4 oz. water per day, take 1/2 to 1 oz. decoction (it being twice as strong). and add 1 to 1 - 1 1/2 oz. water. Caps included!
We also have narrow mouth Amber Quart Jars! The amber color protects the contents from the light and is perfect for making the 10g size, which makes a quart of decoction. These jars are included in the Deluxe Essiac Tea-making Kits. They are no longer available from Amazon, which now only has the wide mouth version.
