Why is my Baker's is lighter/darker in color than it was with my last order?

Our rosins are made from the fresh liquid sap of living trees and are constantly affected by weather, as is the colophony/sap they produce. As summer rolls on, the sap tends to become darker than it is at the start of the season. Also, there is that fact that no two trees produce the exact same colophony, so as we harvest sap from different tree groupings, the tint will sometimes vary.

Regardless of variables concerning the trees, because the distillation process is completely different between the two Baker's blends, the Citron is always lighter than the Original (even if only a little).

Believe me, if your rosin has a burgundy seal then it is Baker's Original, and if it has a forest green seal it is Baker's Vuillaume Citron.
