Description: This dark, concentrated powder delivers a firm, clean bitterness with subtle resinous, herbal undertones. It’s a classic bittering agent for herbal bitters, tinctures, amari, aperitif syrups, and tea/cordial infusions, and can also lend a nuanced bitter note in non-food aromatic blends and botanical crafts. Because it’s highly potent, it’s typically added in minimal amounts and built gradually to taste.
