Quality & Sensory

Each batch is peeled, cubed, and gently dried at low temperature to preserve its pale ivory-to-cream color, firm yet tender texture, and clean, faintly grassy aroma. When brewed, the cubes soften and release a light, subtly sweet, refreshing taste with a mild melon note, making them an easygoing base for fruit and herbal tea blends.
