Black peppercorns and white peppercorns are both made from the fresh berries of the piper nigrum pepper vine. Peppercorns contain the antioxidant compound piperine, which is found in the inner pit of the peppercorn. Piperine is what activates the temperature receptors on our tongue, creating heat or a spicy sensation.

Black peppercorns typically are hotter than white peppercorns, while white peppercorns have earthier flavors. That’s because white peppercorns are soaked in water to remove the skins; the duration of soaking time impacts depth of fermented flavor, ranging from mild to funky.

Black Pepper is known for its anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antioxidant properties. Consuming Black Pepper aids in weight loss, and with its digestive properties helps lower blood pressure and hypertension. Black Pepper is a key ingredient in our Relax, Digest, and Unwind Natural Superfood Infusion.

Sri Lankan (Ceylon) Black Pepper is considered one of the best in the world due to its strong flavour thanks to its high piperine content. Our pepper is completely sourced from our 48 acre plantation.
