About the herb
The temple fruit, dried in slices.
Sacred in India, where the tree is planted beside temples and the fruit has been dried and steeped for centuries. The hard shell is split and the flesh cut into rounds, then dried in full sun until it turns amber.
Sweet and marmalade-ish, with a soft resinous note underneath. One of the gentlest cups in the garden.
