I had an AMAZING time at the 2017 Emerald Cup over the weekend. If you haven’t seen it already, here’s a recap of the 16 flowers and 5 concentrates I picked up at the event.
I wasn’t the only person picking my favorite flavors at the event. A group of judges is tasked every year with judging the hundreds of entries (a tough job, but someone has to do it) and yesterday they announced the winners.
Huge congrats to all the winners and thanks to everyone who made the event possible!
