Quality & Sensory

Each batch is water-washed and dried to preserve its deep reddish-brown color, firm woody texture, and faint earthy aroma. The slices are cleanly cut with visible concentric rings. When decocted or simmered, they yield a mildly bitter, subtly sweet infusion with a warm, grounding character that blends well with jujube, goji berry, and other gentle herbs.
