50Hertz x Goodnow Farms collaboration: Herbaceous Green Sichuan Pepper Dark Chocolate
Our Herbaceous Green Sichuan pepper Dark Chocolate made by our wonderful partners at Goodnow Farms is truly unique. Pairing the natural flavor notes of theirsingle origin chocolate with different complementary flavors, results in quite the spectacular match up. The herbal notes of the Peruvian Ucayali chocolate seamlessly meld with and carry the pine, floral, and citrus notes of the Green Sichuan Pepper. And, the Ucayali chocolate already had a slightly cooling hit, but the Sichuan really amps it up for a cool breeze in the mouth after the lemon-y rush!

1. Sichuan pepper has zero heat and is not spicy at all! People confuse it because it is often paired with chili peppers and chili is the one that brings the heat
2. Sichuan pepper is not a pepper, it belongs to the citrus family
3. Sichuan “peppercorn” is a common misnomer because these dried Sichuan peppers are not peppercorn. They’re the dried husk of the Sichuan pepper berry. A sign of superior quality is the lack of black seeds.
4. Sichuan pepper is not just from Sichuan, but from a collection of places in southwestern China: Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, etc.
5. We believe that the correct name for it is actually Flower Pepper which is a direct translation from the chinese term hua jiao.
