Intensity 4/5 · Heat 2/5
Bright citrus and resinous pine arrive first, then warm wood and a heat that builds slowly rather than stinging.

South Asian style · Prototype provenance, unverified
Sweeter and rounder than black pepper, with a slow-building heat. It looks like a tiny cone and grates beautifully over a braise.

Origin · India
The home of extraordinary pepper.
Pepper vines climb shade trees in the Western Ghats and ripen slowly in monsoon humidity. Late picking and slow sun-drying are what give a Tellicherry-style grade its size, its citrus lift and its long resinous finish.
