Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully harvested and sun-dried to preserve its deep purple-black color, wrinkled oval shape, and mild, faintly sweet aroma. When decocted or simmered, the fruits soften and release a gentle, subtly sweet and slightly bitter flavor with a smooth, earthy finish, adding depth to teas and broths without overpowering other ingredients.
