Pepper loses its oils within minutes of grinding, so Kāli is sold whole — in three forms for three kinds of cook. Every one carries the harvest lot of a single Idukki estate.
The everyday Kāli. Whole bold-grade peppercorns, harvest lot stamped on the back, in a resealable matte pouch. Refills the mill; keeps a year.
A weighted matte-black mill with a ceramic burr, filled with Kāli and ready for the table. Adjustable from fine dust to coarse crack. Refill it from the pouch.
One named harvest lot in a sealed tin, dated and numbered. Our gift format and our cellar format — for the cook who wants to taste one slope across three seasons.
Every pouch carries a lot number. Read it back to us and we will tell you the week it was picked and the corner of the estate it grew on.
