Underlying these bright citrus scents is a subtle earthiness, sometimes accompanied by a whisper of berry sweetness. This distinct citrus profile remains consistent through grinding and combustion, offering a fresh peel aroma with potential light diesel or mineral undertones in certain phenotypes. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a persistent citrus-forward taste with a resinous depth.
