JOIN US AS WE WALK YOUR THROUGH OUR SICHUAN PEPPER FIELDS

SICHUAN PEPPER HARVESTING CHALLENGE

Watch us very arrogantly challenge one of our farmers, "Auntie Zhou" to a Sichuan pepper cutting challenge. It did not end well for us. Check out that face of despair.

THE HARVESTING JOURNEY

STEP 1: OUR FARMERS PICK THESE TINGLY BERRIES UNDER THE HOT SUN

STEP 2: THEY DEXTEROUSLY PICK THEM WHILE TRYING TO AVOID LARGE THORNS

STEP 3: AFTER PICKING THE SICHUAN PEPPER, WE NEED TO REMOVE IMPURITIES

STEP 4: BESIDES PICKING OUT TWIGS, WE NEED TO DRY IT SO THAT THE BLACK SEED FALLS OUT. IT IS UNPLEASANT TO EAT!

STEP 5: PEPPERS USED FOR OUR OIL INFUSIONS ARE PRESERVED IN OUR COLD ROOM TO RETAIN ITS FRESHNESS!

STEP 6: WHAT YOU HOLD IN YOUR HAND IS OUR LABOR OF LOVE AND COMMITMENT TO ETHICAL SOURCING.
