First comes the famous tingling on the tongue, then a fresh citrus fragrance. The Red Peppercorn Sichuan from Place des Épices is not a true pepper but an organic berry from Sichuan, in China, with all the attributes of one. It is only mildly pungent. Toast it lightly and crush it over grilled fish or vegetables, or scatter it into a stir-fry or a noodle broth.
