Muziris Black Pepper

We have sourced the best of the bunch from a 60-year-old family~run forested estate tucked away in Chikmagalur ~ within India’s Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 4th-generation coffee enthusiast & biologist, Ajoy Thipaiah, has devoted his adult life to conservation of the impressive 270 acre estate & his son, Pranoy, is devoting his time, energy & soul into studying & nurturing the vast diversity of flora & funga that makes their land ecologically unique. Porcupines often make unwanted visits & leaves after destructing the tender black pepper foliage. But such sights are a normal in a bio-diverse food forest, where also cluster figs, jackfruits, citrus trees, pomelos, mulberries along with hundreds of funga make merry together.
