Woodruff... Heard that name before, but knew nothing about it. Wikipedia says:
As the epithet odoratum suggests, the plant is strongly scented, the sweet scent being derived from coumarin. This scent increases on wilting and then persists on drying, and the dried plant is used in pot-pourri and as a moth deterrent. It is also used, mainly in Germany, to flavour May wine (called "Maibowle" in German), syrup for beer (Berliner Weisse), brandy, sausages, jelly, jam, a soft drink (Tarhun, which is Georgian), ice cream, and a herbal tea with gentle sedative properties. In Germany it is also used to flavour sherbet powder. Mixed with German "Korn schnapps" or vodka, it is a popular party drink among young people. Also very popular at parties is Waldmeister flavoured jelly made from vodka.

Unfortunately, it doesn't really have much to say about what it actually tastes like.


Looking forward to trying some of the new flavors... especially the vanilla. There's always room for another vanilla in my collection.

The new German flavors have arrived to our warehouse. We are currently processing them.

There are 22 new flavors including a few tobaccos as well as a special tobacco sweetener (Not sucralose).

These new flavors will be packaged in 10ml Amber Glass bottles at first. We will start with 10ml size until we get feedback.

Once we get them in, we will send out some samples to those interested.

So, for those interested in sampling, let's get some chat going! We will select 2 people at random to receive a selection of their choice.

So please, let's chat about our favorite flavors!

*We will announce the samples as soon as we get them processed. We hope to have them processed within 1-2 weeks from today!

I just checked out the new offerings (anxiously awaiting a NON sucralose sweetener)...but this is sucralose based! :(

Sweetener by Jungle Brand

Sweeten the pot with Jungle Brand's all new sucralose based, premixed sweetener.


Is there a non-sucralose sweetener 'in the wings', or was the original post just a boo-boo?

Here's a bit more about (Sweet) Woodruff, sounds interesting :)

The intensity of the fragrance of sweet woodruff's foliage increases when dried, and its aromatic quality lasts for years. It is, consequently, a favorite in potpourris and wreaths. The fragrance of sweet woodruff herbs has been variously described as resembling new-mown hay or vanilla. This charming little herb can be a vanilla substitute in various sauces and beverages. Marilyn Hampstead, whose Fox Hill Farm is one source of Asperula plants, reports that sweet woodruff can be steeped in milk —overnight or for several days — to make a refreshing drink that’s especially enjoyed by children ... or, to impart a vanilla taste, soaked in whatever liquid is required in a given recipe.
