Red Himalayan Sichuan Peppercorns

Grown in the Indian Himalayan Region of Sikkim and known locally as Timmur, our Red Sichuan Peppercorns offer a unique mala (麻辣), or “numbing-spicy” flavor as compared to our Green Sichuan Peppercorns from China.  The red peppercorns are picked later than their green counterparts, giving them a stronger flavor, but a milder numbing effect.

Why are they called “Sichuan Peppercorns” you might ask?  Because even though they’re grown in India, the varietal is the same.  Sikkim has wonderful terroir combined with a ban on chemical fertilizers, so we think these are some of THE best peppercorns you will taste.  Let’s get ready to tingle!
