Production & Sourcing

Harvesting: The berries of the Piper nigrum plant are harvested when fully ripe. These berries are known as peppercorns and are the source of black pepper.

Drying: The harvested peppercorns are spread out to dry under controlled conditions. This drying process removes excess moisture from the berries and contributes to the development of their characteristic black color.

Sorting and Grading: After drying, the peppercorns are sorted based on their size, color, and quality. MG1 grade represents a premium quality, which often means larger, well-developed peppercorns with a rich black color.
