Their new harvest shipment of henna is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
tried it last weekend and was totally blown away! Burgundy-blacks
with no effort at all! You get dye release in 6-8 hours at 80F room
temp, so don't let it sit too long. In 10 years of hennaeing, I've
never seen color like this! You almost HAVE to use superfine line
work to not overwhelm a palm with color....and the backs of hands and
arms are dark, dark, dark! The natural dye color of this harvest is
sort of raspberry-chocolate. The powder isn't actually all that deep
green...sort of olive really. But yeeeehawwww does the stain ever
rock!

I'm planning on ordering enough of the new harvest to get me through
the year, because I know that a henna field is cropped several times,
and each cropping through the cool/hot/dry/rainy seasons vary a great
deal...and this crop just in is the best of the year. I'll
refrigerate the lot and hang onto this one!
