Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully gathered and naturally sun-dried to preserve the blossoms' deep indigo-blue color, delicate papery texture, and faint floral aroma. When steeped, the petals release a striking sapphire-blue infusion with a soft, grassy-sweet fragrance and a mild, gently astringent taste that turns violet with a squeeze of lemon. The dried flowers remain whole and lightly crisp, a sign of careful handling and clean processing.
