Un énorme merci à l’équipe QoQa et ses partenaires Vaudoise Assurances et Groupe Mutuel pour leur rapidité à mettre en place une plateforme de soutient ceci dès le 27 mars.

Les dernières semaines furent très difficiles mais la vie reprend et les affaires aussi. Cette belle initiative nous a permis de voir qu’il reste des gens qui pensent que le commerce local mérite de vivre !

Nous vous attendons nombreux ces prochains mois afin de pouvoir parler de cette aventure COVID au passé. Merci à tous et à bientôt, Claude-Alain et Karine.

If it is too warm for snow, then "apres ski" drinking may become "instead of ski" drinking.

The country that founded winter tourism has seen the mildest end to the year since records began 150 years ago with ski resort owners set to suffer

Buffalo Milk cheese: another local speciality you can enjoy at the Hotel de l'Aigle in Couvet. Personally we prefer the other "Lait du Jura."

Les bufflonnes produisent le lait qui sert à fabriquer la célèbre mozzarella.

Something strange going on at the distillery today. My we**am seems to have been affected by the wonderful aromas. Normal service will be resumed soon ...

A great write-up on BuzzFeed about why the Absinthe Trail is so good. Featuring at # 4: the "Friendliest folk in all the land" with our friend and part-time labeller, Ivan!

The home of Absinthe, the Val-de-Travers, is filled with outdoor fairy fountains with absinthe bottles hidden in tiny wooden houses scattered in the wilderness.

Blogger hits the absinthe trail. Meets distiller Claude-Alain Bugnon and Denise Prisi, creator of these wonderful ceramic fountains.

Another good article about the Absinthe Trail, this time from National Geographic. Second warning: "do" the Trail soon before it becomes too popular!

A good article from one of the UK's leading national newspapers. We recommend you "do" the Absinthe Trail soon before it becomes too popular!

Claude-Alain Bugnon used to have a cat. Although there is a photo of that cat playing in the wormwood fields, we do not believe it ever drank absinthe. The Canadian cat in this video, however, seems to enjoy La Clandestine!

A good write-up of The Old Absinthe House in New Orleans. They serve two of our absinthes there: La Clandestine Absinthe and Butterfly Absinthe

“The one place you’re guaranteed to see everyone you haven’t seen for the entire year, maybe since the last Tales, is the midnight toast outside Old Absinthe House.”

In which Claude-Alain Bugnon shows most of the ingredients used at Artemisia. We don't have photos of "know-how" and "passion," but we think you can probably see them here.

13/07/2015

in which Claude-Alain Bugnon wraps every bottle in tissue paper to protect it for the journey ahead. Most of those buying or drinking our absinthes probably don't see the tissue paper, but they get the benefit of a perfect bottle when it arrives.

Who created absinthe? The experts discuss ... and agree.

We don't have a high-speed labelling machine. But we do have Ivan ... and a piece of string.
