{"product_id":"star-anise-new","title":"Star Anise (NEW)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStar Anise is a Lio flavour core: warm, spiced, liquorice-like flavoured air for the Lio Plus and Lio Pro. No nicotine, no vapor, no battery — the flavour lives in the core, you draw air through the wooden Lio, and nothing comes out.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNot for everyone. That is the point.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMint is easy. Star Anise is the flavour for people who want something with weight to it. It is dark and aromatic, sweet in the way liquorice and fennel are sweet, with a slow warmth that builds over the draw instead of hitting cold. If you grew up on drop, if you order the pastis, if you always liked the depth of a tobacco flavour more than the sweetness of fruit — this is your core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Lemon Grass is a morning flavour and Spearmint is an all-day flavour, Star Anise is an evening one. After dinner, on the balcony, with a coffee or a whisky, when the break is meant to be slow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e star anise, liquorice root, a touch of clove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e warm-sweet spice, dry and lingering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e none — this is the warmest core in the Lio range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntensity:\u003c\/strong\u003e medium-strong, deepens with each draw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosest comparison:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dutch drop, French pastis, chai without the milk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits every Lio: Lio Plus and Lio Pro, olive wood or walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree from nicotine, tobacco, vapor, liquid and batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduced in the Netherlands by Lio's own operation and additionally tested by a major independent Dutch laboratory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong aroma — reseal the bag or it will scent everything in your pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Star Anise taste like black liquorice?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClose.
