Fresh or steeped juice

[mwa102464]

I have always preferred fresh mixed juice over steeped juice and when I say fresh I mean up to 2-4 weeks from mixed date. It seems to me when I DIY or buy a good juice and vape it with in this time frame it just taste fresher to me, then say picking up a bottle of juice that is 3 months old or older. I understand some juice takes more time to steep and the flavors come together better after a steep but a lot of that is also on how much flavoring is added to the mix or how little.

So what is your preferred juice something more on the fresh side or something older more well steeped, just a simple Fresh or well steeped answer is cool.

i'm with ya mwa. i find around that 2-3 week point from their born date just taste the best. i picked up a 3 or 4 month old gorilla juice today and it lost its taste.. hardly any banana. had the same experience with a bunch of other old juice (talking months) that just don't taste as good as it used to

I don't notice a whole lot if any difference after the 2-4 week point so it doesn't really matter to me after that. Within that time frame it can change a lot depending on the juice and has never changed for the worst.

In my opinion all juice needs 3-5 days after it's mixed to come together.

Other than that, in my experience there is only one vendor whose juice displays a marked benefit from aging 2-3 weeks (BWB), and I have absolutely no idea what causes that.

Well ... I would love to say fresh mixed because I have no patience however, I am finding that it really does take a few days for flavor to fully develop. But like Nocturne said, I have also heard that juice will loose it's flavor after a few months. So I guess your 2-3 week mark from date of preparation would be the best time to enjoy juice at it's peak flavor.

I've noticed marked changes in juices in the first few weeks, but I can't say I've ever run across a juice that benefits from more than a month steeping; conversely I've found many that lose quality as you pass the 2-3 month mark.

I never try just out of the box. I wait for 2 weeks to test it, then usually vape it at the 1 month mark. Most of the juices I love have been in storage for 1 month or more. These are usually organic and it takes time to blend. I have a couple made with ecopure that seem to be the best at 2 months.

Just a hunch, but I'd say it's due to greater complexity. The more ingredients, the more time necessary for them all to display themselves.

I have a DIY recipe that takes 2 months to 'ripen' to full flavor. It's a lush, honey-turkish flavor which, oddly enough, has no honey flavoring added. Apparently time works the alchemy in this case.
