Irwin Mango Hot Sauce
This sauce features Taiwan’s sweet and juicy Irwin Mangoes paired with fiery local chili peppers and hints of ginger and goji berries for balance. This simple yet delicious sauce is all about the ingredients. We use single origin mangoes grown by a family farm on the west coast of Taiwan so that each drop is packed with bright mango flavor along with comfortable heat. Pairs well with Steak, Fried Rice, Eggs and more.

Ghost Pepper Maqaw Hot Sauce
We’ve paired fermented ghost peppers with the lemon flavors of Maqaw peppercorns, an indigenous mountain berry that’s wild harvested in Taitung County, Taiwan. We’ve also added locally grown grapefruit to dial up the citrus punch, and then balanced it with the sweetness of caramelized sweet potatoes. Pairs well with Pizza, Dumplings, Tacos and more!

Our Story
We’re Jane and Denner, two people who left their laptops behind in New York to pursue life in Taiwan. As we roamed our neighborhood wet markets (菜市場), tasting fresh fruits and getting to know local vendors and farmers, we fell in love with the wealth of fresh produce available in Taiwan and quickly became inspired to do more with it.
Empress Hot Sauce is our way of sharing our story of Taiwan—full of fresh fruits, flavors, and deep connections with the people who grow the food we eat .
