Lampung Black Pepper

Steenbergs Lampung Black Pepper comes from comes from a small region called Kota Bumi in Lampung Utara on Sumatra in Indonesia. Here spice farmers still use the classic farming practice of using pepper vines on shade-growing trees. Glossy leaved pepper vines grow up the trunks of tropical shade trees providing protection from heat and harsh sunlight. On the forest floor, nitrogen-fixing legumes are planted in rings around the pepper vines, offering a constant source of nutrients and protecting valuable biodiversity such as beneficial insects that act as natural protection against diseases that affect these pepper vines.


 


The black pepper berries themselves are incredibly pungent when grown like this, developing pungent heat like a chilli pepper fruits.  The quality of this Lampung black pepper compared to the kit you get from high street stores is amazing – like the difference between home grown tomatoes and the junk you get from the supermarket. Steenbergs Lampung Black Pepper comes from only 1% of the total available pepper harvest in a shade-grown pepper field, with higher quality Steenbergs pepper berries specially selected and harvested at the peak of ripeness. Lampung black pepper has a very bold and pungent flavour - even stronger than Malabar black peppercorns like Steenbergs luxury black pepper berries.  Steenbergs Lampung Black pepper is a perfect match to red meat, roasted poultry, grilled vegetables, tomato sauces, marinades and dressings, soft cheese, chai tea, and syrups.
