Is there a significant difference between Indian and Chinese star anise? I’ve just bought some star anise, but I'm not sure of its origin.   It smells zingy which kind of reminds me of Chinese food.

Taste-wise, is there a difference between Indian and Chinese star anise? I wanted the Indian one, as per a recipe, but I’m wondering if I have the Chinese one and if that will give the same taste the recipe intended?
In my experience, star anise is star anise.  I don't think the origin matters much for your recipe, but there might be a marginal difference.  I've never paid much attention to the origin of my star anise.
