Description
Star anise, or aniseed, is a sweet, aromatic herb. The key scented component of star anise is anethole.
We work with growers from the mountainous region of Guangxi, China, where a subtropical climate and fertile soil creates perfect conditions for cultivation. Guangxi has a long history of growing star anise, with farmers developing expertise in cultivation techniques over generations. This traditional knowledge contributes to the consistent quality and high yield of star anise from the region - the small fruits are steam distilled at source.
