We are pleased to offer you this rare variety of the highest quality black peppercorns in the world. The peppercorns of the Tellicherry Garbled Special Extra Bold (TGSEB) are hand-selected from ripe, late-harvest pepper berries. They are graded by size, as well as color, and only ten percent of the entire crop is chosen as the TGSEB variety each year. Due to the maturity of the berry when harvested, the taste of the extra bold peppercorn is warmer and more nutty in flavor compared to ordinary black pepper, with a slightly more intense peppery zing. The aroma is both citrusy, as well as reminiscent of tea and sandalwood. This is the peppercorn served in the highest quality restaurants in the world, and now you, too, can have it right in your kitchen. Because the Tellicherry Garbled Special Extra Bold Peppercorn is so extraordinary, we only sell whole peppercorns, as the flavor is best expressed when ground fresh in a peppermill.
