Quality & Sensory
Each batch is slowly dried at low temperature to preserve the soft pink-to-rose hue, delicate layered petal structure, and clean floral aroma of fresh carnation. The dried petals feel light and papery to the touch, releasing a sweet, powdery-floral scent when the bag is opened. Brewed in hot water, they yield a pale golden-rose infusion with a soft, mildly sweet floral taste and a lingering perfumed finish, gentle enough to sip alone or blend with other flowers.
