Frequently Asked Questions

Andullo is a traditional Dominican fermentation method where cured leaves are tightly rolled in palm yaguas and compressed for an extended period. In Mortal Coil that process concentrates sweetness and adds leathery, stewed‑fruit notes—think raisins, fig and dark cherry—which layer over Broadleaf's typical cocoa, earth and wood tones.
