Black Peppercorns
Tellicherry and Malabar peppercorns across seven grade specifications, from TGEB down to Wayanad.
Tellicherry Garbled Extra Bold is the grade most premium retail and restaurant buyers specify by name — large, dense berries, hand-sorted. Malabar Garbled grades (MGB, MG1, MG2) step down in size and price for bulk grinding and food-manufacturing use where berry size doesn't affect the final ground product. Coorg and Wayanad are regional-origin lines within the broader Malabar growing belt.
Pepper pricing moves with global commodity markets more than most of our range — we quote against current market rather than a fixed list, so ask for a fresh number even if you've bought this from us before.
