India TreeTellicherry Pepper, 11 oz

Came on time. Haven't used yet but look good

It has such a distinctive flavor, a nice spice kick and goes with everything, I buy online as it is hard to find locally, we just love it!

Tellicherry Peppercorns are far and away the best choice. I don't buy any other type of Black Pepper. All other types are just sad and lifeless in comparison. This brand...India Tree...is what I call one of the best, in the category of Tellicherry Pepper.I have purchased this product many times. I have appreciated a certain consistency, in terms of quality. I always transfer these peppercorns to my own air tight container. They arrive fresh, but it's necessary to cut the top of the package to access the peppercorns, and they won't stay fresh and wonderful, with air and oxygen getting to them through a period of time. These should be transferred to a tight lidded mason jar, or to some other sealable container.

My husband is a pepper snob and he loves this pepper.

The peppercorns are twice as big as most I have seen. They are very aromatic and have a fabulous flavor. The resealable bag however is not that great. The cellophane easily tears rendering it nearly useless for storage. I transferred the full bag of peppercorns into a sealed glass container and taped the label on the front. I recommend these peppercorns. They are super tasty, not pungent, and have a very appealing fragrance.

I've bought the 2 pound package of India Tree Tellicherry Pepper whole peppercorns several times and really enjoy their flavor. I don't like fooling with the seemingly constant reloading of grinders I've been able to find, so I bought a Krups coffee grinder and grind the peppercorns in small batches every month or two. That might not be absolutely "fresh cracked" but it is much fresher than what I buy from the store, and I can get the somewhat coarse consistency I want.

I like it, it's mild, yet flavourful. I didn't really think that it was much different than regular pepper until I changed the grind on my grinder to a coarser grind! Love it! It came in a plastic bag, I didn't think it was sealed very well, so I put it in a different plastic jar.

In order to write a proper review, I will have to try some other brands and compare. That's why I put stars in the middle. These peppercorns may turn out to really be fabulous - or not. One thing I have noticed: they have not added much pepper flavor to any dish I have put them on. Are they supposed to be that smooth? Or are they simply flat and tasteless.
