Grades, origins and what actually drives the price
We supply Vietnamese and Chinese star anise, specifying crop season and whole-flower ratio on every offer. Autumn-crop material at 90%+ intact flowers is what retail packers and premium masala brands need. Broken flower and ground powder go to grinders and extraction buyers at a lower price point.
Anethole content drives the aroma. For buyers making tea premix, five-spice blends or beverage flavouring we can source lots selected on oil content rather than looks alone.
