Java Comet's Tail Peppercorn
Known to the West since the Middle Ages as Cubeb pepper and on the island of Java as Comet's Tail or "kemukus", the fat berries of Piper cubeba mature to a brilliant yellow-red before they are hand-harvested and allowed to dry on bamboo mats in the tropical sun. The flavor is that of traditional black pepper yet with a slight bitterness to the heat and an aroma that can be likened to allspice due to hints of nutmeg, camphor and clove. In Java, Comet's Tails are used as an alternative for black pepper in curry blends. Try grinding Comet's Tails over meats, cheeses and vegetables to impart its unique warming aroma or use in place of allspice to add peppery heat.

Bali Long Pepper
Once hailed by Romans as the ultimate peppery spice, wild long peppers soon disappeared into culinary obscurity with the agricultural domestication of their cousin, the modern peppercorn. Long pepper still inhabits the mountainous central highlands of Bali and is harvested from the wild forest surrounding the traditional coffee, vanilla and spice farms. The flavor of Balinese Long Pepper is deep and complex, simultaneously releasing an earthy pungency with sweet overtones of cardamom and nutmeg. The long peppers look like tiny cattails and once ground, roasted or simply snapped in two, they release an incredible floral bouquet. Use Balinese Long Pepper as you would black pepper, or incorporate it into recipes calling for black pepper for a more unique end product.

Shade-Grown Lampung Black Peppercorn
In a village called "Kota Bumi" or "Center of the Earth", black pepper vines climb high up the trunk of thorny Dap-Dap trees. The elders claim this is where black pepper was first planted when Hindu colonists migrated to Indonesia from India as early as 100BC. This village is one of the last shade-grown black pepper planting systems in the world...a cultural relic and culinary gem. The farmers of Kota Bumi pick only the most mature of peppercorns, coming back twice daily to their smallholdings over the period of a 3-month harvest, sometimes reaping no more than a few hundred grams of ripe fruit.

Hand-Picked Muntok White Peppercorn
In the hills behind the village of Muntok, on the Indonesian island of Bangka, pepper farmers climb traditional bamboo tripods and hand-pick fruit spikes of red ripe pepper berries. The fruit spikes are packed into rice sacks and soaked in slow running streams of water that come down off the mountains above. 7 days later the outermost skin of the pepper has disintegrated and the peppercorns are piled together for a traditional trampling called "nari mereca" or the Pepper Dance. The dancing separates the peppercorns from the fruit spike and after a final washing the berries are left to dry in the sun where they will bleach to a whitish-cream. White Peppercorns lose their essential oils when ground, so only grind what you need! Muntok White Peppers can be ground using most any traditional pepper grinder. Mortar and Pestles provide a perfect coarse grind for dry rubs.
