Premium Peppercorns

Deep in Ecuador's untamed rainforests, where ancient trees meet the Andean foothills, grows one of the world's rarest treasures: Yupanqui pepper.

Hand-picked by local farmers who have perfected their craft over generations, each peppercorn is sun-dried to preserve its extraordinary aromatic complexity.

This isn't just pepper. It's the culmination of centuries of tradition, a microclimate found nowhere else on Earth, and the passion of artisans who refuse to compromise. One taste, and you'll understand why the world's finest chefs consider it irreplaceable.

Transforms the simplest dish into a moment of pure culinary poetry.

YUPANQUI is a Kichwa word and means memorable, priceless, or he who shines. Our peppercorns are from the Yupanqui family in CUZCO and belongs to an INCA lineage of solid agricultural traditions.

Almost 90 years ago, Japanese emigrants introduced ancient pepper varieties to the Amazonic area. Several years later, grandfather Yupanqui collected survivors of these first strains and developed a unique blend, transferred to the following generations.

Years passed, being unable to be sustainable due to the constant “Guerrilla” threats, and it’s at the 90’s end that the Family finds a unique Terroir in EQUATOR’S Cloud Forest.

The grandfather’s strains, as well as the Incan ancestral techniques, are faithfully used today.
