Our Extraction Process
We combine traditional wisdom with modern steam distillation technology to preserve the delicate aromatic compounds while ensuring maximum purity.
Our Extraction Process
We combine traditional wisdom with modern steam distillation technology to preserve the delicate aromatic compounds while ensuring maximum purity.
1 Selection
Fully mature star anise fruits are harvested from certified farms just before ripeness, ensuring maximum trans-anethole content.
2 Preparation
Fruits are carefully dried and lightly crushed to maximize surface area for efficient steam penetration during distillation.
3 Steam Distillation
Steam is passed through the star anise material, releasing and carrying the intensely sweet volatile aromatic compounds upward through the still.
4 Condensation
Steam and essential oil vapours pass through a cooling condenser, separating oil and hydrosol water before being carefully collected.
5 Testing
Comprehensive GC-MS analysis ensures purity, verifies trans-anethole ratios, and confirms the food-grade and therapeutic quality standards.
6 Bottling
Filtered and bottled in UV-protective container with nitrogen flushing to maintain freshness and potency.
