Grown on the banks of the Jialing River this green Sichuan pepper with a lot of swagger. Crazy aromatic it packs a herbal punch unlike any green Sichuan pepper we have tried before. We can understand that it comes from Hongya that is know for its culinary traditions, particularly its loaded and flavorful hot pot.

When we visited Hongya on our trip to Sichuan we ate some of the best food we have ever had. We will never forget those feats and are happy to be able to share this beautiful product with you all.

We would use it when you want your green Sichuan pepper to have the center stage in broths, acidic hot pots and stir fried vegetables.

Green Sichuan pepper, also known as Hua Jiao in Chinese, is a type of spice commonly used in Chinese cuisine, particularly in the Sichuan province. It is derived from the fruit of the prickly ash tree, just like the Hongya Sichuan pepper, but it is harvested earlier in the growing season when the fruit is still green and immature.

Green Sichuan pepper has a milder flavor compared to the red variety, with a slightly lemony and tangy taste. It is often used in dishes that require a more subtle flavor, such as fish and seafood dishes, and it is also used in spice blends such as five-spice powder.

Green Sichuan pepper is an essential ingredient in Sichuan cuisine, prized for its unique flavor and health benefits. It is often used in combination with other spices such as chili peppers and garlic to create the distinctive flavor of Sichuan cuisine.

We work closely with our small scale farmers who uses traditional methods when growing their pepper and spices, like organic compost and no usage of pesticides. The usage of pesticides directly affects the flavor of the product.

We have connected with our farmers directly, meaning no middle hand. But this also means that they run smaller farms with no organic certifications. As our business grows we will able to take the next steps towards certifications. Stay tuned!

Finding the source, is finding the answer. We quest for unique high quality pepper and spices. We work harvest based and single origin only, meaning we only sell pepper from farmers we know. Many times we have tasted and smelled a spice knowing that there are more more lines of inquiry before reaching the very origin of the spice and the people who are cultivating it. Our way of working is special because we actually go to the farmers and we don't stop questing until we found the best of the best.

Mostly it is curiosity, openness and intuition that leads you to the right path.
Tax included.

We research, always knowing that it's when we go local we actually meet the right people. We make sure to live, eat, listen, dream and drink with our farmers and partners. From here we can start to see where we have common ground so we can create a value based foundation that support both of our needs. It is also very important that the partners and farmers we work with are anchored within their communities, so that generative development and liveihoods can be supported by our collaboration.
