■ Product of Bolavens Plateau, Laos
Red Peppercorns Bolavens Plateau. Warm, tasty notes, with lasting cocoa, tobacco and saffron notes. Fruity notes, a powerful pepper. A handful of seeds from a variety from Kerala gave the first 30 plants of this plantation. The volcanic soil of the Bolaven Plateau proved to be convenient and the first plants started to produce a beautiful red pepper. Michelin starred French chefs soon reported to us their interest. The plantations were expanded and the first harvests started in the year 2014. One of the objectives is to encourage farmers in the region to develop these plantations
