Quality & Sensory

Each batch is naturally sun-dried to preserve its characteristic pale pinkish-brown outer bark, creamy inner surface, and fine, slightly fibrous texture. The dried bark carries a mild, earthy, faintly floral aroma. When decocted, it yields a light amber infusion with a subtle bitter note and a faintly sweet, cooling aftertaste. The powdered form is finely milled, uniform in color, and blends smoothly into teas, decoctions, and herbal formulas.
