Quality & Sensory

Each piece is carefully sun-dried to preserve its natural form, with a firm, leathery texture and a deep amber to brownish color. The dried material carries a mild, characteristic animal aroma. When decocted or simmered, it softens gradually and yields a rich, subtly sweet broth that blends well with other tonic ingredients.
