Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully washed and sun-dried to preserve its small, round, glossy seed form, with a pale brown to greyish-brown color and a faint, mild botanical aroma. The seeds are clean and free of visible debris. When decocted or simmered, they release a gentle, slightly sweet and nutty flavor, and the liquid takes on a soft amber tint.
