Native New Zealand Botanical
Horopito
Pseudowintera colorata
A distinctive hot, peppery, spice with earthy and slightly citrusy notes
“Wild spice with edge and intent.”
About Horopito
Horopito is one of New Zealand’s most distinctive native botanicals, known for its assertive peppery heat and dry forest character. In gin, it can bring an arresting spice profile that feels more alive and botanical than conventional pepper. Used carefully, it creates tension, length, and a sense of wildness that remains grounded in place.
