art of drying and sorting

once a spice is harvested, its flavor is still fragile. drying and sorting are the quiet steps that protect what the plant has gathered through an entire season.

drying, done slowly

heat changes everything - color, aroma, and the natural oils that hold flavor.
slow drying keeps these oils intact. too much heat and the spice becomes flat; too little and it loses its brightness.

good drying is calm, even, and patient.
it lets the spice settle into its true form.

why sorting matters

every harvest carries variation. some pods are fuller, some lighter, some less mature.
sorting brings consistency without blending origins.

it is the difference between a clean, single-tone flavor and a mix that tastes confused.

craft in small batches

small batches mean each lot can be handled with attention - checked for moisture, color, density, and aroma.
nothing rushed. nothing hidden by volume.

craft is not about doing more. it is about doing less, with care.
