Tasmanian Mountain Pepper Leaf

Tasmannia lanceolata or Tasmanian Mountain Pepper is native to cool sub-alpine rainforests of Tasmania, Victoria and Southern New South Wales.  Both the leaves and berries have a strong, aromatic building heat with eucalyptus, menthol herbal notes. Preserve its heat by adding towards the very end of cooking or use with longer cooking times to mellow out the spicy kick adding complexity to slow cooked savoury hot pots, curries and roasted meats.
