Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully cut into clean, uniform center cubes and gently dried to preserve their chalky white color, firm yet slightly porous texture, and faint earthy aroma. When simmered or brewed, the cubes soften gradually and release a mild, subtly sweet and neutral taste that blends quietly into teas, congee, and broths without overpowering other ingredients.
