Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sun-dried to preserve its deep black-brown color, wrinkled texture, and smoky, fruity aroma. When simmered, the plums soften and release a bold, tart, and slightly sweet flavor with a lingering smoky finish, adding depth to beverages and broths without overpowering other ingredients.
