Description
The chaste tree herbal tea Musc Tahara is made from whole seeds of Vitex agnus-castus, 100% natural, packaged in 50-gram bags. This size is enough to make about 17 cups of herbal tea (250 ml each), using one teaspoon of seeds per cup. Chaste tree, also known as monks’ pepper or pepper tree, is a shrub native to the Mediterranean region whose small berries were once used as a substitute for pepper. When steeped, its seeds produce a hot beverage with a peppery and slightly aromatic flavor, to be enjoyed as is or sweetened with a little honey. A packet designed for women who like to treat themselves to a moment of relaxation in the evening or late afternoon.
A chasteberry herbal tea for some "me time"
There are rituals that require nothing more than a kettle, a favorite cup, and a few minutes of quiet. Chasteberry tea is one of them. Its seeds—small and round like peppercorns—release a warm, spicy note when steeped, bold without being overpowering, making it perfect for both the end of the day and a quiet weekend morning.
At Musc Tahara, we’ve chosen to offer chasteberry as whole seeds rather than powder: the seeds keep better, are easy to measure out, and give you the freedom to adjust the strength of your infusion—steep for a shorter time for a milder cup, or longer for a stronger brew. The 50-gram bag is the perfect size to try this herbal tea with no commitment, or to restock a favorite.
Chaste tree, a shrub native to the Mediterranean region
Chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) is a shrub in the Lamiaceae family—long classified under the Verbenaceae family—native to the Mediterranean region and found as far as Central Asia. It is recognizable by its palmate, aromatic foliage and its long spikes of mauve to blue-violet flowers that bloom in midsummer. According to the National Museum of Natural History, its fruits have been used as a substitute for pepper since ancient times, earning it the nicknames “monks’ pepper” and “pepper tree.”
These fruits, once dried, are commonly known as chaste tree seeds. Dark brown to black in color, they give off a peppery scent as soon as you crush them lightly between your fingers. It is this part of the plant—and only this part—that you’ll find in the Musc Tahara packet.

Chasteberry Tea: Your Questions
How do you make chasteberry seed tea ?
Add one small teaspoon of lightly crushed seeds to 250 ml of simmering water, let steep, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes, then strain. The longer it steeps, the more pronounced the peppery flavor becomes.
What does chasteberry tea taste like?
A warm, peppery flavor, similar to black pepper but milder, with an aromatic note reminiscent of the shrub's foliage. This is not a sweet herbal tea: those who prefer a sweeter taste can sweeten it with honey or combine it with a few mint leaves.
How many cups can I make with a 50-gram package ?
About 17 servings of herbal tea (250 ml each) based on our recommended serving size. If you like mild herbal teas, you’ll get more than that; if you prefer them stronger, you’ll get a little less.
What exactly are chaste tree seeds ?
These are the dried fruits of the chaste tree, Vitex agnus-castus, a Mediterranean shrub with purple flowers. The flowers resemble small peppercorns, hence the plant’s name, “monks’ pepper”; its fruits were once used as a substitute for black pepper.
Can I drink it ice-cold in the summer ?
Yes. Brew it like a regular tea, let it cool, and then put it in the refrigerator. Served chilled with lemon, its peppery note becomes surprisingly refreshing.
How to Store My Chasteberry Seeds
Store them in a tightly sealed bag or airtight jar, away from light, heat, and moisture. Whole seeds retain their aroma much longer than ground ones.
Why should I order my chasteberry tea from Musc Tahara ?
For whole, 100% natural seeds; a transparent information sheet about the plant and how to prepare it; a 50-gram package—perfect for trying it out; and the expertise of a store specializing in Tahara musks and traditional Eastern plants.
