Our article, The Soul of the Still: Copper's Legacy vs. Steel's Clarity in the Art of Essential Oil Distillation, appears in Steamworks 2026, the special distillation edition of Aromatika magazine. This year's issue explores botanical traditions worldwide, with a strong focus on Asian distilleries.
The article begins:
“Distillation is one of many ancient bridges between nature and magic. Magic once fully understood is then, perhaps, called science. Heat, water, patience, and the attention and wisdom of the distiller coax pure aroma from the depths of nature’s raw offering. In this alchemy, the vessel itself is not neutral.”
You can read our article in the Aroma Sublime Learning Center. The full issue is worth owning for the other distillers' stories.
