Hi guys, I was just wondering what the difference between a jade and verte is, if any. I would assume it is
color related, but are there other criteria that are supposed to set them apart? I could find no info regarding this on the site.

Ignorance is not bliss...not in my world.

Jade is a brand/series. Verte is a color.

Can't add much more to that.

Yup, what Derrick said. The Jade absinthes are a brand/series that Ted Breaux makes. So far the Jade line contains the Eddy, PF 1901, Verte Suisse, and NO.

A verte is any absinthe that is green in color. The word "verte" being french for the word green.

So currently, all Jades are vertes, but not all vertes are Jades.

Thanks, I wasn't sure about that, as I've heard people refer to "Jades" on this forum. Glad to know.

Not all vertes are Jades, but all Jades are vertes.

It can be a colour with a lower case 'j' - a brand with an upper case.
A verte can be all kinds of poetic varieties of green.

I want this on a T-shirt. Stat.

It'll be a pain getting ol' twitch eye on there just right.

Glue a "googly eye" on their and you're set.

One large and one small ought to work. And some dark paracord for the smile. Sold.

I'm buyin'.

Edit: I can't even make that simple of a goddamn post without screwing it up.

I feel your pain, per my sig line

Jade is also a gem and can also been a colorJade

in fact Jade is a shade of green but also a brand

No shit?

Jeeez what did I start?

You just started a thread........it derails itself. *smile*


Oh, I'm sure it'll get more interesting.

Thanks for relieving the guilty of all culpability, Mr. Nice Guy.

Now that we've settled that, what is August's true birthstone, anyway...?

Well, back to Jades...Thanks to a WS member who believed in my potential and wanted to help my palate develop, I sampled PF 1901 and Jade Verte Suisse tonight...wonderful stuff!

Lucky devil!

That's how and why threads get derailed. NV

In fact the LDF page called Jade Absinthes by T.A. Breaux includes Blanchette.

Oh well. I'm terrible with googly eyes anyway.




to you for paying attention.

But Ted's own webpage does not.
