  • Tasting Notes:
    Leaves have an explosive fragrance, cleanly floral and citrus- not quite lemon, not quite lime. Their aroma and flavor are assertive and lingering, yet delicate. The rind of the fruit is slightly bitter with a strong citrus note. Dried leaves and dried rind lack the intense aroma of fresh.
  • Combines well with:
    coconut milk, lemongrass, ginger, anise
