Upon grinding, a scent reminiscent of green apple or pear may emerge, evolving into candied citrus and a subtle herbal spice. This aromatic profile is generally supported by terpenes like Myrcene and Limonene. The flavor follows suit, offering a sweet, fruity experience with hints of citrus and cream, complemented by earthy and floral undertones.
