Its nature is sweet and neutral, making it a mild yet deeply nourishing fruit for daily teas, soups, and tonics. This 200g pack offers clean, new-crop berries from Qinghai, suited for cold-brew and warm infusions alike.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully dried to preserve the berries' deep violet-black color, firm skin, and subtle sweet-tart aroma. When cold-brewed, the berries slowly release a soft, jewel-toned infusion with a gentle, mildly sweet flavor and a smooth, clean finish; warm brewing yields a slightly fuller body with the same delicate berry character.
