Quality & Sensory

Each batch is harvested and shade-dried to preserve the herb's natural reddish-brown to deep tan color, its fibrous yet pliable texture, and its mild, earthy, slightly sweet aroma. When simmered in water or broth, it releases a gentle, warming, faintly sweet infusion with a soft woody undertone, blending well with jujube, goji berry, and other tonic ingredients without overpowering the pot.
