Gin Botanical Suppliers in AU.

[Saltbush Bill]

Thought I might start this up in the hope that it helps anyone making gin in AU find botanicals that they need at reasonable prices.
I'm lucky in that I can buy everything bar two of the Botanicals that I need from a local shop only a few minutes drive away.
The only two that I use that I have to order in are Grains of Paradise and Cubeb Berrys / Pepper.
Anyone that uses Grains of Paradise knows that they can be expensive little buggers.....Ive payed as much as $15.00 for 10 Grams at times.....$1.50 per gram, thats without postage.
Snooping around the net I found these at $56.43 for 100 grams, or 56 cents a gram and free postage. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/33393408006 ... SwxN5WZoW5 The bloke selling them also sells in smaller quantities but the price increases accordingly.

Seems he also sells premixed Gin Botanicals for different types of gin, personally id rather blend my own, but they make be useful to some.

Has anyone in AU got better prices for grains of Paradise and or Cubeb?

[howie]

i got my grains of paradise from the same ebay seller (kpopov01) $31.66 for 50gms.
in feb i bought cubebs off ebay that were $14.72 for 100gms, the seller no longer exists.
i generally hunt around ebay for the cheapest deal when i need any gin spices.

I haven't found a Kiwi supplier for either of those and finding a good deal online is rare, so when I do see a good deal I spend the money and stock up.

Thats why Ive just ordered 100 grams .....plus some cubeb, cubeb is not much cheaper per gram that what i normally pay, the free postage makes it a better buy.
Chris I spoke to the bloke on the phone and he seemed easy enough to get along with, he might be happy to send to NZ, but would probably want postage.
info.motherlandspices@gmail.com is his direct email address.....I bought direct , not through ebay, the same prices applied.

HBMalt.co.nz have both cubeb and grains of paradise.

Cubeb at $16.50/100g

Grains of Paradise at $24.00/100g

Not sure what they're like, I just noticed they had a decent selection of botanicals last time I was browsing the website.
