Star Anise - Longevity Collection

Our best-quality Star Anise is harvested in the fall in China’s southern Guangxi region. The star-shaped fruit is picked by hand so that flowers and young fruit aren’t damaged. They’re boiled and stirred constantly until the fruit turns completely yellow, then spread on bamboo mats, dried in the sun and flipped occasionally for several days. The star anise becomes shiny brown- red, with a spicy-sweet licorice flavor more potent than aniseed.

Packaged in our special Longevity jar made of thick, durable, unique glass which blocks out damaging light that causes decay. This airtight, light-proof jar blocks out harmful air, moisture, and light, protecting our spices and preserving their freshness. Our Longevity jar not only looks beautiful and elegant, but it's also completely reusable, eco-friendly, and will last for years. All spices in the Longevity collection come in refill packs, so you only need to get the Longevity jar once for each spice and then just get the refill packs when the spice runs out, reducing waste and creating a sustainable solution for your kitchen. Longevity jar size: 2" diameter, 3.5" high.

Net weight: 0.6 oz.
