Timiz Pepper with Tail, Ethiopa (TE), 250g

Timiz pepper is an endemic pepper that grows in the wild, in the forests of the Southwestern Ethiopian highlands. After the annual harvest, this long peppercorn is traditionally dried on the hearth of local tukul homes, built out of eucalyptus wood and bamboo. This is what gives Timiz pepper its characteristic smoky smell. It has intense aromas of Havana tobacco, resin and roast herbs, working well with chicken liver terrines, sweetbreads, lobster tail and bitter chocolate desserts.
