Quality & Sensory

Each batch is naturally sun-dried to preserve its deep orange-red color, firm wrinkled texture, and mild bitter-herbal aroma. When decocted or simmered, the fruit releases a rich golden-orange infusion with a distinctly bitter, cooling taste that softens when paired with sweeter herbs such as jujube or licorice.
