Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully peeled and dried to preserve its pale ivory-to-cream color, springy fibrous texture, and clean, faintly grassy aroma. The fiber network remains intact and resilient, neither brittle nor musty. When decocted, it yields a light, subtly sweet infusion with a soft vegetal note, and the fibers soften without disintegrating, releasing their essence gently into the brew.
