Quality & Sensory
Each berry is plump and uniformly medium-sized, with a vivid natural red color and a slightly wrinkled, leathery skin that speaks to slow sun-drying rather than sulfur treatment. The aroma is mildly sweet and fruity, with a faint dried-fruit warmth. When chewed, the berries offer a soft, slightly chewy texture and a gentle honeyed sweetness with a subtle tart finish. When steeped in hot water, they soften and release a light amber infusion with a clean, sweet taste.
