Chinese Five Spice

A traditional East Asian spice blend

Chinese Five Spice is one of the most iconic and time-honored spice blends in the world, with roots stretching back centuries in Chinese culinary tradition. This harmonious blend balances the five fundamental flavor profiles — sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami — in a single, aromatic mix that transforms everything it touches. Used widely across China, Taiwan, and other East Asian cuisines, Five Spice is as essential to Asian cooking as herbes de Provence is to French cuisine.

At Glenbrook Farms, our Chinese Five Spice is hand-blended in small batches using the classic five: cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise, and black pepper — no shortcuts, no fillers.
