tquando Posted May 18, 2018 Report Posted May 18, 2018 Having read much about Tasmanian Pepper Berries (purple crack) I am definitely looking forward to giving them a try. I checked the website below and they tell me they are completely out as the crop last year was terrible! https://www.worldspice.com/spices/pepperberry-tasmanian I live in Japan and cover all of Asia so on my visit to Sydney this week I went on a mission to find the coveted purple crack. Much to my surprise none of the speciality shops in Sydney carried them and none of my colleagues were even aware of them. One client did provide me with the sites below: https://www.fourpillarsgin.com.au/distilling/tasmanian-pepperberry/ (these guys are friends of my brother. They know their botanicals). http://www.herbies.com.au/?s=tasmanian+pepperberry&post_type=product I am curious if anyone else is struggling to find purple crack or if folks have any experience using the leaves rather than the berries My mission will be completed!
amusedtodeath Posted May 18, 2018 Report Posted May 18, 2018 Still 12 left if you have access here... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HK1KNUY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1

Bruce Pearson Posted May 18, 2018 Report Posted May 18, 2018 I received a few ounces from Tyrus. And ordered some from Amazon. I use it all the time.
tony b Posted May 19, 2018 Report Posted May 19, 2018 The leaves aren't anywhere close to the intensity of the berries. I have both. I was the one who coined the name "Purple Crack" given how instantly addictive this stuff is. I use it all the time. Fortunately, I still have 4 dime bags left out of last year's kee. Hoping it gets me through this year's drought! 4
Chanly1983 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Posted May 19, 2018 I just ordered a few ozs. From savoryspice.com.

It is really great having the opportunity to meet people like yourself. Thank you again. You are most welcome. Glad I could help you out. That was pretty quick shipping. Do me a favor, wait until week of June 18th before shipping. Going on vacation that week and I don't want to be gone when the package arrives.
