Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully dried to preserve its glossy, dark brown to reddish-brown color, smooth hard texture, and faintly nutty, slightly earthy aroma. When roasted and brewed, the seeds release a warm, gently bittersweet infusion with a light toasted note; when simmered in congee, they soften and lend a mild, subtly sweet body to the grain.
