Quality & Sensory
Each raisin is plump and tender, with a translucent green-amber hue and a soft, chewy texture. The natural sun-drying process preserves a honeyed sweetness and a mild fruity aroma, with no harsh or fermented notes. When steeped in warm water or added to congee, the raisins soften and release a gentle, mellow sweetness that blends smoothly with other ingredients.
