Coriander Seeds - Spicy Citrus Brewing Spice for Witbier & Saison

Coriander Seeds are one of the most classical and widely used spices in brewing — essential for Belgian witbier and a versatile flavour addition in saisons, wheat beers, and experimental ales. This 100 g bag of whole coriander seeds should be lightly crushed before adding to your boil or whirlpool to release their essential oils without over-extracting.

The flavour profile is multi-dimensional: a spicy, earthy warmth with floral and citrus undertones that is unmistakable in well-made Belgian witbiers. Combined with bitter orange peel, coriander creates the layered aromatic complexity that defines the style.
