Ingredients

 

  • Australian Native Pepper Berries

Destiny's Chai planted our very own Native pepper berries in 2021, situated in the beautiful Southern Highlands, NSW. We handpick the berries and leaves, dry them out and use them in each batch of handcrafted Chai. These plants are an evergreen shrub that produces small yellow or creamy white flowers that turn into red pepper berries over the Autumn season if both male and female plants are present. Pepper berries can be found in traditional Aboriginal as a food flavouring, as well as in traditional medicine as a treatment for skin disorders, venereal diseases, colic and stomach ache.
