Quality & Sensory
Each batch is low-temperature slow-baked to preserve its vivid ruby-red color, plump and slightly wrinkled texture, and mild sweet-tart aroma. When brewed, the berries soften and release a gentle, honeyed sweetness with a faint berry tang, tinting the water a warm amber hue. Eaten directly, they are chewy and subtly sweet with a soft, lingering finish.
