Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sliced and dried to preserve its ivory to pale yellowish color, firm yet slightly waxy texture, and mild earthy aroma. When decocted, the slices yield a gentle, slightly sweet infusion with a smooth, clean finish, and they soften without disintegrating, making them suitable for long simmering in soups and tonics.
