Wayfaring is Live. Summer 2009 is Hot!
Ready for a great surprise? Good Judy's New Orleans blends are back! And they're kicking off a new general catalog line: Wayfaring!
Bayou: Originating from the term bayuk (Choctaw for small stream) or bas liu (French for low land) a bayou is a watercourse, usually the offshoot of a river or lake in a lowland area. It is a sluggish or stagnant creek, frequently flowing through swamp terrain. The term is used mainly when referring to areas in the delta region (the area near the mouth) of the Mississippi River. The cypress-inhabited Atchafalaya Basin is located in the south central region of Louisiana and is the largest hardwood forest river-swamp in North America. Still waters, alligator pear, spotted beebalm, cypress
Do You Voodoo?: New Orleans Voodoo has a long, rich history steeped in culture and tradition. A gathering of many different faiths and beliefs, voodoo is by and large celebrated as a belief in one God (who does not interfere in daily life) and many deities (who preside over daily life). Through connection with Spirit, ancestors, and nature, today’s voodoo practices encompass the service of others and the influence of life events. Dark patchouli, white linen, cananga, jimson weed, herbs
Fleur-de-lis: The French phrase Fleur-de-lis translates as Lily Flower and the symbol has many meanings and uses world-wide. The lily itself signifies peace, purity, and resurrection. Already a well known symbol for New Orleans, the fleur-de-lis has enjoyed an enthusiastic revival as a symbol of community support for those struggling to rebuild after hurricane Katrina. Purple iris, milkweed, water lily, stargazer lily, lotus
Hot Jazz: From brothels to bars, funerals to juke joints, Jazz is in integral part of New Orleans. While the origin for the name Jazz is unknown, it is believed that the original word was actually Jass. The connotation is sexual in nature, as many of the early performers played in the prostitution district known as Storyville in New Orleans. Bay, bourbon, acacia, mossy amber, upbeat spices
Mardi Gras: French for Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras is the infamous title for the New Orleans Carnival celebration. The festivities commence on the Epiphany holiday (the twelfth day after Christmas), with the parades beginning on the Friday, 12 days before Ash Wednesday. The throng of revelers decked out in purple, gold and green and adorned with intricate costumes and glitzy beads watch parades of stylized floats carrying Krewe royalty, and will do anything for throws. The celebrants let loose in a celebration of merriment created as a prelude to penitential season of Lent. The Carnival comes to a wild and ruckus finale at midnight on Fat Tuesday, when fasting replaces feasting. Spanish moss, bourbon vanilla, sasparilla, king cake
Vieux Carré: Vieux Carré (Old Square in French) is also known as The French Quarter and is the oldest and most historic heart of New Orleans. Filled with landmarks and attractions dating back hundreds of years, it is also a residential area. Buildings in The Quarter are protected and cannot be demolished. Tiled roofs, ironwork balconies, stucco walls are awash in pastel hues and create atmosphere and a stunning visual impact. Mandevilla, sweet cane, kudzu, magnolia
New Orleans is the first of many destinations to come in the Wayfaring line!
