I'm often asked questions by customers: Are you HACCP certified? Are your products certified organic? How do you ensure the quality? Is your packaging up to standard? Can it be shipped long distances?
So how do we continually strive to ensure the quality of star anise in the many unseen parts?
When customers aren't familiar with our products or our industry, they often ask questions that seem surprising to us. This is understandable, as they care deeply about quality and don't know us well enough. Our quality control isn't just about keeping a close eye on the blanching time, grading after sun-drying, or picking out impurities during the drying process. In fact, starting with the star anise seedlings, we're constantly striving to ensure star anise quality in many unseen links:
☘️ 1. Weed Control: During the planting process, weeding is done manually with a mower to prevent herbicide damage to the soil and to prevent herbicide mist from reaching the anise fruit, leaving residue. Although most herbicides are quickly metabolized in the soil, we strictly practice manual weeding.

☘️ 2. Diseased and Infested Tree Cleaning: Old, diseased star anise trees are directly felled and replanted with new seedlings or grafted with new branches. Diseased trees are not treated for pests and diseases to prevent pesticides from affecting other healthy trees and the anise.

☘️ 3. Fruit Shape: Excessive branches are promptly pruned to ensure the fruit is always the largest and most complete.

☘️ 4. Ensuring Aroma: We avoid rushing the market during the harvest season and ensure that all star anise is fully ripe. Only fully ripe star anise has the best aroma and color.

☘️ 5. Ensuring Color: We use traditional processing methods, blanching the star anise before drying it naturally to ensure that the dryness reaches above 95% before it can be sold or stored. Only with a high degree of dryness can the star anise avoid mold and darkening during transportation and storage.

All of these steps are taken to ensure that Gulong Star Anise remains the world's finest. Providing the highest quality for the global dining table and the pharmaceutical industry is our unwavering pursuit.
