 There's star anise and there's aniseed. These are actually completely different things. Now aniseed actually comes from the APACE family, which is native to the Mediterranean and Southwest Asia. The plant is known to produce white flowers, as well as an oblong fruit, which is where you get the seeds from. Whereas star anise actually comes from the embergreen tree, which is native to Vietnam and China. That plant actually produces the star-shaped fruit, which is much more recognizable. I think when people think of anise, they think of the star anise with that star shape. At least that's, from my experience, is what I think of. Is that the same for you? I don't know. Maybe it is. Aniseed fights a white variety of things, including it's an anti-epilectic, it's an anti-hysteric, it's an anti-inflammatory, anti-romantic, anti-septic. Lots of fighting things. It's really good for that digestive system, especially with things like gas and what not. But it's also like supposed to be an insecticide and an expectorant, amongst other things. So it's got a really interesting white variety of different uses to it. Yeah, it's also supposed to be like an anti-spasmodic, so I mean it's crazy, crazy good stuff. But if you get a chance to get your hand on this tea, sing a song, serendipity, it's really good. Yeah, I'm a fan right now. I'm going to finish this whole thing up myself, I think, because it's good. Have a happy tea day.
