"Pastis (from the Provençal Occitan pastisson: pâté or mixture) is the name given to alcoholic drinks flavored with anise and licorice. Pastis in Occitan also means boredom, an unpleasant or confusing situation: what a pastis!
  
This pastis is made by Jean Boyer, an artisanal producer, from the purest essence of Chinese star anise. Refined in Provence in old copper stills, and infused in liquorice stick alcohol.
  
They give Pastis liquorice sap a silky texture as well as a smooth and refined taste.
  
Furthermore, the taste of this pastis is also enhanced with that of plants with fresh and fruity notes.
  
While common pastis is prepared in a few minutes, it takes a few months for the aromas of Jean Boyer pastis to blend together, and for the pastis to clarify naturally. This is how it maintains its richness and silky texture."
