Quality & Sensory
Each batch is naturally sun-dried to preserve the small, oval fruits with their pale brown to greyish-brown color and finely ridged surface. The dried fruit carries a warm, slightly pungent herbal aroma with a faintly bitter, resinous note. When simmered for a foot soak or wash, it releases a light amber infusion with a gentle, earthy fragrance that lingers pleasantly in the water.
