What's the difference between freeze-dried and dried Tasmanian Mountain Pepperberry?
Both come from the same native Tasmanian berry, just handled differently after harvest — and that changes how they taste in the jar.
- Tasmanian Mountain Pepperberry - Freeze Dried! is dehydrated quickly at low temperatures, which locks in the berry's bright, fruity-floral aromatics and gives it a sharper, more vibrant heat. It shines as a finishing touch where you want that fresh berry pop.
- Tasmanian Mountain Pepperberry - Dried is dried more slowly, mellowing the punch into deeper, earthier notes with a concentrated background heat. It's a great fit for grinding into rubs, brines, or dishes that cook low and long.
- If you'd like to taste pepperberry in a ready-made blend, Spicy Mountain Chai uses it alongside warming chai spices for a different kind of showcase.
Either way, you're getting the same berry — just choose based on whether you want a bright pop or a slow-building warmth.
