With the new harvest of our Vietnamese Black Peppercorns, we are celebrating with a fresh new name. To honor the regenerative farming they practice on their shade-grown coffee farm, we've decided to name this new harvest Robusta Black Peppercorns. The peppercorn vines are a companion crop to the Robusta coffee plants, providing shade for the coffee.  These fabulous black peppercorns are harvested only when the peppercorns are ripe. This new harvest has the same fruity, herbaceous, and some might say "robust" flavor that first captivated us! Cooking Tips: You know what to do: grind over everything Add to tomato sauces, braises, beans, soups and stocks Try pairing a little ground peppercorn with fresh fruit A great summer spice! Use in BBQ or picnic dishes. Perfect for a 4th of July get together, summer part, or grilling out event.
