Stories: Anise myrtle has been used for thousands of years by Indigenous Australians, particularly in the rainforests of northern New South Wales where the tree naturally grows. Traditionally, its leaves were valued for their calming aroma and brewed into soothing infusions - a kind of early herbal tea long before tea itself arrived in Australia.
What makes anise myrtle special is its naturally high anethole content (the same aromatic compound found in anise and fennel), which gives it that soft aniseed lift. Indigenous communities used it not only for its gentle flavour but also for its refreshing, uplifting scent. Today, it’s considered one of Australia’s finest native botanicals — bright, fragrant and beautifully versatile.

Fiamma tip: enjoy with a cup of citrus-forward black tea (like Earl Grey) or a whisky finished in a sherry cask to highlight the warm spice and citrus notes.
TIMING: We don't believe anyone should wait too long for chocolate and aim to have your chocolate packaged and shipped within 1-2 business days. The sooner the better as far as we're concerned :)
SHIPPING TIMES: Standard shipping typically takes between 2-7 days. Exact time will depend on the courier, and whilst we can't guarantee any exact time as it's out of our hands, experience tells us it's more likely to be 2-3 days in most cases.
THE SNAILIEST SNAIL MAIL: As a heads up, sending to a PO Box, parcel locker or similar, will often be slower as we can't use courier services and have to rely on Australia Post, who can be pretty slow at times.
EXPRESS POST: If you need your chocolate urgently, because sometimes that's a thing in life, please select Express Post at checkout, or get in touch to check how we can help.
HOT WEATHER POLICY: Please note, if the temperature is soaring we may withhold sending your chocolate for a day or two to ensure it doesn't arrive a melted mess. We'll keep you posted if that's a case, but please refer to our hot weather policy, or get in touch with any questions.
FREE SHIPPING! We're like you and we love free shipping - although full transparency, we deal in good chocolate as a passion more than profit (yep, the margins are pretty low) and as much as we'd love to offer free shipping on every order it's just not possible. But we love people who love good chocolate, so keep an eye out onsite for our free shipping rates, and gift boxes that include free shipping. Happy days!
