Tasmanian Mountain Pepperberries come from a native pepper shrub (Tasmannia lanceolata) that grows wild in Tasmania's cool rainforests. What makes them special is the flavor journey in a single berry — a fruity, almost sweet start that builds into peppery heat with notes of eucalyptus and anise, finishing with a warming, slightly numbing kick similar to Sichuan pepper. Compared to everyday black pepper, they bring a wilder, woodsier complexity that's great for finishing dishes and adding depth to recipes.

• **Great uses:** finishing salts and compound butters, seasoning game meats, adding intrigue to chocolate desserts, and even pepper-forward cocktails.
• **Tasmanian Mountain Pepperberry - Freeze Dried!** offers the most vivid, berry-forward aroma and color, since freeze-drying locks in more of those bright top notes.
• Prefer a more classic, earthy pepper character? **Tasmanian Mountain Pepperberry - Dried** is the traditionally dried version.
• Want to taste that warming pepper complexity in a blend? **Spicy Mountain Chai** showcases how well this pepper's warmth plays with other spices.
