INGREDIENT HIGHLIGHTS
TOASTED BARLEY
The first impression. Warm, dry and gently toasted, it gives the infusion a clean and comforting cereal base.
COIX SEED
Soft and discreet. It rounds the blend without adding sweetness or weight, leaving a clear mouthfeel.
ORANGE PEEL
The point of light. A lightly bitter citrus note that cuts through the toasted profile and makes it feel cleaner.
PORIA
Almost quiet. It adds depth and balance without taking the lead, like a very restrained botanical base.
CHINESE YAM
Adds soft body. Its presence is felt in the texture: rounder, calmer, never heavy.
EURYALE
Dry and earthy in the background. It helps hold the blend together and keep its character clean.
LOTUS SEED
Delicate and quiet. It closes the infusion with a soft, clean and easy finish.
WE WANTED AN INFUSION THAT DID NOT FEEL MEDICINAL OR SWEET. SOMETHING CLOSER TO THE TABLE AFTER A MEAL: TOASTED GRAIN, ORANGE PEEL, HOT WATER AND A FEW QUIET MINUTES. BARLEY OPENS WITH A DRY WARMTH. ORANGE PEEL BRINGS A LIGHTLY BITTER CLARITY. THEN COIX SEED, CHINESE YAM, PORIA, EURYALE AND LOTUS SEED LEAVE A SOFT, CONTAINED, ALMOST CREAMY TEXTURE. A CAFFEINE-FREE DRINK FOR WHEN THE DAY NEEDS TO TURN ITS VOLUME DOWN.
