This Indonesian variety of pepper is larger and smoother than other black peppers with a small stem trailing off to the side, giving rise to the nickname "Comet's Tail Pepper". Intensely flavorful yet low in heat, with notes of pine, mint, and allspice we recommend using it sparingly at first! Pairs wonderfully with lemons and other citrus, as well as grilled meats and vegetables.
"Not all peppercorns are round. Curio Spice Co.’s comet tail, or cubeb, pepper is a distinct species. Distinguished by its trailing stem and minimal heat, it goes particularly well with citrus and often appears as a botanical in gin." - Bloomberg.
