Yupanqui Pepper - Premium Peppercorns

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

THE  JOURNEY

Almost 90 years ago, Japanese emigrants introduced ancient pepper varieties to the Amazonic area. Several years later, our grandfather 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.
