Cubeb Essential Oil is meticulously extracted from the fruit of Piper Cubeba using the steam distillation method. Belonging to the Piperaceae family, it is alternatively known as ‘Java Pepper and Tailed Pepper.’ Dried cubeb berries bear a resemblance to pepper balls but feature a distinctive pointed end, giving rise to the name ‘Tailed Pepper.’ Indigenous to Indonesia and Malaysia, cubeb has been a global trade commodity since the 4th century. With significant historical importance, it served as a pivotal spice in Chinese trade and held considerable value during the Middle Ages. The popularity of cubeb soared when it became a component in crafting cigarettes aimed at alleviating asthma, fever, and respiratory issues. Additionally, it contributes as a flavoring herb in the renowned spirit Bombay Sapphire.
