Quality & Sensory
Each seed is naturally sun-dried to preserve its dark brown, slightly wrinkled outer shell and clean, firm body. When steeped in hot water, the seed swells into a soft, gelatinous, sponge-like mass that releases a mild, subtly sweet and slightly earthy aroma. The infusion is gentle and smooth, with a soft mucilaginous texture that coats the throat pleasantly.
