These bright, fruity, and spicy peppercorns are vine-ripened, carefully hand-picked, and sun-dried for outstanding flavor. They are rich, chocolate-colored with dense wrinkles that you will want to grind fresh over everything.
Burlap and Barrel sources these from a cooperative of smallholder artisan farmers on the Zanzibar Islands off the eastern coast of Tanzania. Black peppercorns grow in bunches, like grapes, on a climbing vine and are usually harvested while green. These are allowed to ripen a little longer with the pepper turning more orange, and are then hand-picked and sun-dried into a rich chocolate-colored peppercorn berry.
