About the herb
A seed long kept for beauty.
Black sesame has been eaten and steeped across China, Japan and Korea for centuries, traditionally kept as a nourishing food for hair and skin. We take the whole seed and toast it lightly, which is what wakes the flavour.
Deeply nutty, almost like a roasted grain, with a faint sweetness. Grind lightly in the cup if you'd like it fuller.
