Black Wayanad pepper TGSEB GI

Wayanad pepper TGSEB is the absolute pinnacle among Tellicherry peppers from the Malabar Coast Strip. It is cultivated in the Western Ghats, in the Wayanad Valley. Like Tellicherry pepper, this pepper is a blend of pepper varieties.

The pepper is organically grown. in the Wayanad Valley. The Wayanad region is known for the Periyar Tiger Reserve and is part of the UNESCO-protected Cardamom Hills. The main crops in the Wayanad Valley are coffee, cocoa, cardamom, and local black pepper. The pepper is fertilized in the traditional way, using cow manure and neem leaves (Azadirachta indica), a natural pesticide.

The plants grow in a unique setting with its own microclimate, giving the pepper plant the opportunity to develop into full, starchy berries for longer than usual. This results in a pepper that is deep red to deep brown, rather than black. The aroma is reminiscent of sandalwood. Wayanad pepper has been under Indian Geographical Protection since 2006.

Our Wayanad pepper is a Tellicherry – a collective name for large peppercorns from the Malabar region – of the TGSEB type (Tellicherry Garbled Special Extra Bold), with a grain size of 4.75 mm or larger.

The pepper comes from an organic grower in Pulpally, the same area where our Banasura pepper originates. Our pepper is dried in special rooms, out of the sun, which further preserves the already exceptional aromas.
