It thrives in the very changeable South Pacific climate on the island of Tasmania and in South Australia and is characterized by its diverse taste.
Sweet and fruity at the beginning, followed by a pronounced, peppery spiciness. A fine note of tree mushrooms and the earthy, slightly clove-like taste make these berries so attractive. This exotic pepper variety smells and tastes like no other pepper.
