Ceylon Black Pepper has been cultivated in Sri Lanka's wet zone regions for over 2,000 years, particularly in Kandy, Matale, and Kegalle districts. Known as 'black gold' in ancient trade routes, this pepper benefits from tropical climate and rich soils at elevations between 500-1,500 meters.

Our pepper is hand-picked at optimal maturity when the berries are just beginning to turn from green to red, then sun-dried using time-honored techniques that preserve the essential oils and pungency. NextPort International works exclusively with established pepper gardens that follow sustainable farming practices, ensuring consistent quality and traceability from plantation to export. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing for moisture content, piperine levels, and cleanliness standards, guaranteeing that our Ceylon black pepper delivers the intense flavor and aroma that chefs and spice connoisseurs demand.
