Properties of each type of pepper:
1. Phu Quoc black peppercorn:
It is made from unripe green peppercorns. When dried naturally in the sun, peppercorn will turn black and bring a characteristic hot and pungent flavor. Black pepper has the strongest flavor, earthy flavor, and light aroma.
2. Phu Quoc red peppercorn:
It is made from fully ripe peppercorns with natural red color. After drying, the red color will darken, creating the characteristic color of Phu Quoc red peppercorn. This is the rarest peppercorn variety that The Ho Tieu offers and is hard to find in the market. Red pepper has a slightly hot, acidic flavor with fruity and floral aromas.
3. Phu Quoc white peppercorn:
It is the result of ripe red peppercorns that are soaked in water for 3-5 days. This process causes the peppercorn to ferment slightly, altering the flavor. The peppercorn is then rubbed to reveal the creamy white underneath and dried naturally in the sun. Therefore. The color of peppercorn is natural, not bleached. White peppercorn is hotter than a black peppercorn, but the flavor is less complex, pungent, and full of subtlety.
4. Black forest pepper:
It is treasurable pepper that grows wild in the deep forests of the Northwest and Central Highlands of Vietnam and is usually harvested from July to October every year. Forest pepper has a uniquely strong and complex flavor. It has citrus and lemongrass aromas and a pleasant mild bitter aftertaste. Forest pepper also has a milder pungent taste than a regular black peppercorn.
5. Wild Forest pepper / Mac Khen:
It is also a type of wild pepper, a typical spice of the Northwest mountains. Mac khen has a characteristic aroma that can be perceived as citrus, eucalyptus, and anise. When eating, there will be a unique feeling of numbness in the mouth.
6. Sichuan pepper:
Known for its characteristic numbing sensation in the mouth, it feels like drinking a carbonated drink or as if a slight electric current is flowing through your mouth. This enhances the senses, providing a unique dining experience. Sichuan pepper has a significant flavor and aroma, with light pine, lavender, and citron aromas.
Types of mixed pepper in the pepper mill:
1. Phu Quoc Mixed includes 3 typical types of Phu Quoc pepper: black peppercorn, white peppercorn, and red peppercorn.

Lora Le is a chef who has the extraordinary gift of taste. Her childhood was spent in and around peppercorn farms as her hometown is famous for pepper farming in Vietnam
But as times changed peppercorns became Vietnam’s leading cash crop. This led to globalization in the pepper farming industry and small scale farmers suffered. This is when Lora Le decided to establish The Ho Tieu to protect small scale farmers.
