Description
Cubeb pepper (Piper cubeba) is an ancient spice that is mainly known from Indonesia, where the plant has been cultivated since ancient times. The dark brown berries with their small 'tail' give this pepper its recognisable name: tail pepper or Javanese pepper.Flavour & aroma
Cubeb pepper is known for its rich and layered flavour profile:
• warm and peppery, but less pungent than black pepper•
fresh eucalyptus or menthol-like top
notes• subtle woody, balsamic
undertones• a long, aromatic aftertaste
This complexity makes cubeb an interesting alternative to black pepper in herbal teas, masala-style blends and aromatic botanical blends.
