About this product

Whole pods selected for clean liquorice aroma and a sweet-spice finish.

Sourced and prepared in small batches in Madikeri, Kodagu — from the misty shade estates of Coorg.

The Science

Star anise owes its liquorice character to anethole, a phenylpropene that dominates its essential oil and is chemically similar in effect to the anethole of true anise seed. The star-shaped carpels are sun-dried whole to keep the oil from dissipating before use.

The Story

It arrives to the estate kitchens dried hard and star-shaped, dropped whole into the pot the way Madikeri households have always finished a slow winter curry.
