Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully collected and dried to preserve its pale tan to light brown color, fibrous texture, and faint woody, earthy aroma. When decocted, the bark softens and yields a mild, slightly sweet and mucilaginous infusion with a smooth, slippery mouthfeel. The milled powder is fine and even, blending easily into preparations while retaining the same gentle woody scent.
