Steenbergs Para’s Special Wynad Black Pepper

Para’s Special Wynad Pepper is a Single Estate Black Pepper. It is grown on the small, family-owned Parameswaran estate in Wayanad, southern India. Para’s Black Pepper has a slightly red colour.

Most peppercorns are harvested January to March when still unripe and green, then dried in the sun to make the standard black peppercorns. Some farmers leave a small part of the crop to ripen for their own use. Para’s Pepper is from this crop. It is hand-picked, cleaned, then dried in the sun. It is packed on the Parameswaran estate then shipped direct to the UK.

Axel’s Tasting Notes: Para’s Special Wynad Pepper has a fruitier, more complex flavour than standard peppers, with a glowing, lingering warmth.
