Black Tellicherry Peppercorns Whole Grade A* Premium Quality Free P&P 50g-1kg

Description

Tellicherry peppercorn comes from the same region as Malabar, and is a quality designation reserved for the largest and highest quality berries. It is generally recognized as a premium black pepper. The main difference from Malabar is that the berries are allowed to ripen on the vines longer allowing the flavor to develop more fully. There is a balancing act involved to allow maximum development of size and flavor of the berries on the vine without allowing sugar content to rise to where losses will occur from spoiling or predation by birds. The result is a slightly larger peppercorn that has a slightly less pungent flavor but a more complex aroma with hints of cherries, juniper and cedar. The complex aroma of Tellicherry is much like walking into a spice shop and trying to sort out a wide array of pleasant aromas.
