More than 1,000m up, on the Kalpetta heights of the Wayanad district in Kerala, lies an exceptional terroir. From it comes one of the world’s most prized black peppers: the organic Black Peppercorn Tellicherry from Place des Épices, sold as whole peppercorns. Intense and fruity, it shows delicate citrus notes and a surprisingly long, elegant finish. Grind it over a steak or a piece of fish, or over strawberries for a surprise.
