Review: We unable to locally track down all of the spices needed to make a batch of Pho broth, so we were quite excited to find all of the spices we needed from "The Spice Way" and at prices that were cheaper than our local vendor (when they have them in stock). This star anise was among the freshest and most intense we've found to date. When combined with all the other traditional Pho spices and lightly roasted to bring out the aromatics, this ultimately yielded an excellent Pho broth. For our broth recipe we needed to round up the following: Cinnamon Sticks: https://amzn.to/49QVHjJ Cardamom: https://amzn.to/4bmnUkv Coriander: https://amzn.to/4pAEZeb Clove: https://amzn.to/3Z4iXpa Fennel: https://amzn.to/4jwQBNC Each of these was from The Spice Way & all were of superior quality. Very pleased!
Review: Good quality and affordable. Even though some were broken, that doesn’t impact the flavor. I plan on grinding them anyway to make my own 5 spice powder.

Something I had never thought about before but I ordered a tea from a local shop awhile back and they served it with a couple whole star anise directly in the drink and I loved that added flavor so much I picked some up for myself. The quality seems amazing, I love the fresh smell and added flavor. No clue what else to use it for, so I can't speak to any other uses but for me and my tea, we are fans.
