Did you know? An unusual aspect of Tasmannia lanceolata, or Mountain Pepper Berry, is that it requires both male and female plants to produce its characteristic peppery berries, making it dioecious. Interestingly, the berries change colour as they mature, starting red and turning black when ripe. They offer a distinctive flavour that is both fruity and peppery.

Suggested Storage: Store at temperatures below 30°C, in tightly closed containers away from direct sunlight to maintain quality and aroma.

Supplier Information: Our supplier has been implementing a series of regenerative practices to restore the health and vitality of plantations that were previously unmaintained for up to 15 years. These practices include selective harvesting to ensure that younger, healthier trees have the necessary space and sunlight to thrive. Additionally, significant investment is made in undergrowth management to control weeds, preventing them from outcompeting native plants and thereby helping preserve the biodiversity essential for a healthy ecosystem. Through these regenerative efforts, the supplier aims not only to enhance the yield and quality of the harvest but also to contribute to the broader ecological restoration of the area. This approach supports the long-term sustainability of the plantations, aligning with global efforts toward environmental conservation and responsible land management.
