Harvested in Idukki’s dense forests
Harvested in the warm embrace of Karimannoor dappled forest shade, only the finest and fully flowered star anise seeds find their way into our hands. Sowed during spring, it matures over 120 days and is harvested when still green. Dried under the sun and cleaned thoroughly, this star shaped spice carries the aroma of fennel seeds and produces an intense licorice flavour. As sweet as sugar, or sometimes sweeter, Star Anise adds a distinct flavour to a world of beverages and dishes, including spiced teas, roasts, and desserts.
