Native to the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra, Cubeb Pepper (Piper Cubeba) was once a prized trade spice along ancient routes to the Middle East and Europe. Its distinctive tail-like stem gives it the name “tailed pepper.” With a flavour that bridges the warmth of black pepper and the sweet spice of pimento, it has been used in everything from Moroccan tagines to Indonesian rendang. Today, it remains a rare and captivating spice that revives old-world flavour traditions.
