Mountain Pepper Berry Leaf Tea

$19.00

Mountain Pepper Berry (Tasmannia lanceolata) leaves have been used for many thousands of years by Australians Indigenous as both a health tonic and cooking aid. Medicinally used for oral infections and prevention/treatment of the cold and flu. Note that the word pepper within the name does imply a mild spice component to this taste.

In cooking, Mountain Pepper Berry has an earthy taste that is very welcome on meats and sausages. Give it a try for something new!

Wildcrafted in Australia by local Aboriginal communities

Our quality is of a high standard and our much lower prices are not reflective of the quality of our natives. We wish to move more stock to increase demand, reduce our margins and therefore give back to local communities.
