Ginger Kawakawa Spice

A bold, unapologetic infusion built around three heart-warming ingredients: ginger, black pepper, and wild kawakawa — a member of the pepper tree family and one of the most respected herbs in Māori rongoā. Lemongrass, lemon peel, peppermint, and a whisper of hibiscus lift the composition with brightness, while liquorice root brings the whole thing together with a soft, natural sweetness. Recognised at the 2025 Inspire + NZ Artisan Awards with a Gold Award.

A vivid, caffeine-free cup — grounding in the morning, revitalising in the afternoon, and quietly warming through winter. Beautifully expressive hot, and every bit as good chilled over ice.

The liquor pours a rich, warm amber, releasing a lively aroma of fresh ginger and citrus. On the palate, ginger arrives first with a full, generous warmth, joined by the peppery lift of kawakawa and black pepper, brightened by lemon and cooled by a whisper of peppermint. Liquorice softens the finish with a gentle, honeyed sweetness that ties everything into balance.
