The Science of
Selection
◇
Visual & Touch Inspection
The primary check for curl, size, and fiber content. The tactile feel tells us of the drying precision.
◇
Digital Moisture Readings
Using state-of-the-art hydrometers to ensure moisture levels are below 3% for optimal longevity and flavor preservation.
◇
Brew Colour & Liquor
We analyze the clarity, brightness, and 'halo' effect of the liquor under calibrated lighting to guarantee aesthetic and flavor depth.
◇
Weight & Feel
Density check of the final blend to ensure consistent volume-to-strength ratios in every consumer pack.
