A Legacy of Pungency
Our peppercorns are hand-harvested by local farming communities from high-altitude vines in Sri Lanka. After natural sun-drying on clean platforms, the berries undergo triple-stage cleaning and are milled under low heat.
This preserves the essential oils that give Ceylon pepper its world-renowned punchy heat and complex citrusy aroma.
