Warm Wild Long Pepper

Warm Wild Long Pepper

Warm Wild Long Pepper — Ground, Single-Origin

Long pepper (Piper longum) is older than black pepper and almost nobody has tried it. Whole, the pods look like small dark catkins; ground, it tastes sweeter and more floral than peppercorns, with a heat that arrives slowly and stays.

It was the pepper of the ancient spice trade before black pepper displaced it, and it is still the better choice in anything warm and sweet — chai, mulled drinks, golden milk — where black pepper would be too sharp.

From Meghalaya and ground with nothing added, so the aromatics stay intact.

Good in: chai and warm drinks, golden milk, slow-cooked meat, pickles, spice blends, anywhere you'd use black pepper and want something rounder.

  • Avoid direct sunlight; store in a cool, dark cupboard or pantry.
  • Do not refrigerate unless in very humid climates, and even then, keep it well-sealed to prevent condensation.
  • Always use a clean, dry spoon when scooping to avoid contamination.
  • Keep away from strong-smelling foods (like coffee or spices with heavy aroma) to avoid flavor transfer.
