Visiting Terms
These are the house terms that apply when you browse the collection, build a tasting flight, read the batch records, or write to the gift desk. They are written the way we speak at the counter — plainly.
The nature of this showcase
Bitterroot & Bough operates a confectionery showcase and gift collection guide. The drop archive describes batches we have pulled in our own kettle room, with flavor notes, texture profiles, batch sizes, keepsake tin suitability and pairing ideas. Batch entries are descriptive records, not offers.
Batch records and seasonal variation
Because we cook with pressed orchard fruit and foraged botanicals, a drop's color and tartness will shift slightly from one harvest to the next. Where a batch is described as seasonal, it appears only while that fruit or botanical is in the ledger.
Letters to the gift desk
Correspondence sent to the sweetshop is answered in the order it arrives. We ask that written enquiries describe the tin size, the flavor family and the occasion you have in mind so the gift desk can reply with something useful rather than a general answer.
Tasting flight deck
The tasting deck is a planning tool. Saved flights are stored only on the device you are using, as described in the privacy ledger, and are not transmitted to the sweetshop. Nothing saved in the deck reserves stock or creates an agreement of any kind.
Writing about our collection
Writers, cookbook authors and regional food historians are welcome to quote short passages from the archive with attribution to Bitterroot & Bough Confectionery, Hood River, Oregon. Photographs of the tins and plates require our written permission, which the gift desk is happy to give for editorial use.
Changes to these terms
Revisions take effect on the date printed at the top of this page. Continuing to use the collection after a revision means you accept the updated house terms.
