Black Pepper
Kali mirch
Whole Malabar black pepper, bold and pungent.
Grades and forms: MG1 and Tellicherry bold
Where we buy it
Kochi (Cochin), Ernakulam, Kerala
Kochi is the historic pepper port of India and the seat of the Spices Board; the Mattancherry market and Kochi terminals handle black pepper, dry ginger, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon.
The Western Ghats districts of Idukki, Wayanad and Kozhikode.
We buy black pepper directly at Kochi (Cochin) during peak arrivals, before the lots move to Ahmedabad for processing and packing. Buying at the source market means the widest choice of lots and no trader margin between the farmer and our customer, which is how we hold both quality and price.
