You probably will not believe this review when you read it, but it is true. I bought the apothecary style, 250ml version. This is by far the BEST herbal storage jar I have ever tried. Trust me, I've done a lot of research.First, the shipping was fast and the jar arrived well-protected in bubble wrap. The lid arrives as a separate piece, also protected. There are a couple of blank, circle-shaped stickers as well that you can write on and stick on the jar somewhere if you want (I do not).Upon unwrapping, the quality of the glass and craftsmanship is readily apparent. These are not cheap or thin. They are solid, thick glass. The lid/stopper is made of the same glass and the seal is glass-on-glass (the bottom part of the stopper has a rough finish and you are instructed to twist ever-so-slightly to "lock" the top, and jiggle back-and-forth gently to open it).I needed something to store some herbs in, long-term (more than a couple of months). After doing research into the benefits of this type of glass, I thought it might be too good to be true. You see some stories about how someone found Egyptian herbs that were 2000+ years old and were still fresh when opened. I have no idea if those stories are true, but I can tell you 100% that these work - whatever or however they do it.Traditionally, I used clear glass jars with an air-tight rubber seal. They worked OK, but the herbs would invariably dry out after a days or weeks. I was concerned the seal on the Infinity Jar is not actually "airtight" due to the seal just being glass-on-glass, but whatever is going on, it works.I tried a side-by-side comparison placing the same herbs in (1) a clear, airtight jar, and (2) the Infinity jar. After one week there was a marked difference in that the clear jar herbs were crackling, dried out and lost almost all smell associated with them. The Infinity Jar herbs were as fresh, soft, fluffy and fragrant as the day they went in. After two weeks the difference was even more marked, and after three weeks, it was night and day. The clear jar herbs crumbled to dust when I squeezed them, while the Infinity Jar herbs were soft, sticky, fragrant and just as fresh tasting as the day they went in.After 3 months, I'm still so happy with mine that I bought another one, and I would buy more. They have all shapes and sizes. If you're into fresh, tasty herbs, you owe it to yourself to give this a shot. Even if you go through yours fairly quickly, you can get a smaller version and you'll be happy.
