I'm in the mountains in North Georgia, it doesn't get frigid but our temps have definitely been low. Plus it was shipped up through Pennsylvania before it got to Atlanta and then to me.
It's not just the CDS, it's all of them that seem to be slightly oily to me. It's just the CDS that I'm using because the rest taste like perfume, paint or soap

I've talked to VB in emails and today I was told that the chemist says it's because of the cold weather and that they need more time.
I was hoping it wouldn't be a lot of time. That means I'll have to shell out for juice from an alternate vendor as an emergency but we don't get paid for another week and a half, living on savings atm since we were temporarily laid off for the last month.
Still, it's my own fault. I knew that VB juice usually needed some steeping time. I've just always had great luck and all of my juices were good to go as soon as they got here.
