-
Large Petal Size: Uniformly ripe, thick, and well-balanced 8-pointed stars that are visually stunning.

High Essential Oil Content: Typically reaching 3% – 4%, rich in Anethole, which creates the signature intense fragrance and sweet aftertaste.
-
Natural Color: A vibrant golden-brown hue with whole petals that are free from mold and breakage.

Standardized Drying: Using low-temperature drying methods to prevent the evaporation of precious essential oils within the petals.
