Quality & Sensory

Each batch is naturally sun-dried to preserve the seed's dark brown to blackish color, firm texture, and faint earthy aroma. The seeds are hard and smooth, with a thin shell enclosing an oily kernel. When ground, the powder is dark and fine with a distinctly bitter taste and a mild, oily scent, reflecting the herb's concentrated bitter character.
