Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully cut into uniform ivory-white cubes and dried to preserve their firm, slightly chalky texture and clean, faintly earthy aroma. When simmered, the cubes soften gradually and release a mild, neutral taste that absorbs the flavors of the broth around them, adding body to soups and teas without overpowering other ingredients.
