May chang Litsea cubeba is native to China, where Aura Cacia May Chang is sourced from, and also areas of Southeast Asia. The vast majority of may chang essential oil is derived from China. May chang essential oil is distilled from small fruits, similar in shape to peppers, that are grown on trees featuring white or pale yellow flowers. The flowers have a lemon aroma, similar to the essential oil. As the fruit ripens it darkens in color, looking even more like a pepper. Due to the similarity of the fruit to peppers, may chang has been referred to as Mountain Pepper. Please note that Aura Cacia is going through a label update.
