Alright bud. I said everything that needed to be said. Your decision. Your business.This is exactly what it comes down to. Sources humoring members by posting some samples & pretending to care… customers can squint their eyes very tightly and play along, but we all know the truth.
It’s no secret that most sources are almost certainly getting their raws from the same few places. @readalot has suggested that even compounding pharmacies may share the same raw suppliers as UGLs (and they likely do). There’s a reason they allow for a 10% variance. Not even they’re testing the raws.
Variance for pharmaceutical companies assume that they are working with legitimate ingredients. They aren’t doing what you as a UGL is doing.
Incidentally, most UGLs that blind brew toss in 10% more to cover themselves and error on giving their customers more value.
