FAQs

What is the difference between Malabar and Tellicherry pepper?

Malabar grade is the standard export classification for black peppercorns from India's southern spice belt, named after the Malabar coast of Kerala and also drawn from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The Tellicherry grades are the larger berries: Tellicherry Garbled Extra Bold (TGEB) is 4.25 mm and above, and Tellicherry Garbled Special Extra Bold (TGSEB) is 4.75 mm and above, with a minimum bulk density of 570 g/l.

What density and bulk density specifications do you offer?

Malabar Garbled MG1 runs a minimum 550 g/l and the Tellicherry grades (TGEB and TGSEB) a minimum 570 g/l. Ungarbled FAQ grade sits below both. Detailed specifications and test certificates are provided with every shipment.

What garbling standards do your peppercorns meet?

Our black pepper is machine-cleaned and garbled to remove light berries, stalks, and foreign matter. We supply both garbled and ungarbled (FAQ) grades depending on buyer requirements.
