Autumn Star Anise
The main mature autumn crop is typically discussed as a whole-fruit commercial product. Buyers still need an agreed visual grade and technical specification because crop and lot characteristics vary.
Spring Star Anise Whole
This name identifies spring-crop material supplied in whole-fruit form. “Whole” does not by itself define the acceptable broken ratio, colour, size, moisture or treatment; those belong in the specification.
Spring Broken Star Anise Pieces
This name identifies spring-crop broken pieces intended for processing uses such as grinding, blending or extraction. Piece size and quality limits should be agreed.
Contract wording
Use one of the three names, then add botanical identity (Illicium verum Hook. f.), origin, grade, quality limits, treatment, certification, packaging and lot/sample reference.
