Picture a tiny red berry, about the dimension of a grape, growing on a vine in the hills of Tibet and Inner Mongolia. A tiny red berry that harvesters are watchful to avoid touching with their bare hands so as not to oxidize the flesh of the fruit.

A small red berry that will dry to the size of a currant in the shade of the mountains within which it has grown before being exported across the globe to those who have only recently, regardless of its 2000year plus traditional history, revealed it.
