Export-grade Indian black pepper in Malabar and Tellicherry varieties — whole berries, cracked, and ground grades for food manufacturers, spice importers, and retail packers worldwide.
India is the birthplace of black pepper — Piper nigrum — and has been the world's most important pepper origin for over 3,000 years. The Malabar Coast of Kerala produces two of the world's most prized pepper grades: Malabar and Tellicherry, both recognised globally for their bold aroma, rich piperine content, and clean export quality.
SV Botanica sources directly from established pepper cultivation estates and farmer networks across Kerala — Wayanad, Idukki, Kozhikode, and Thrissur districts — ensuring fully traceable, clean, and consistently graded supply. Every lot is processed, cleaned, and graded to export specifications at APEDA-certified and FSSAI-registered facilities.
India produces some of the world's highest piperine-content black pepper — naturally higher than Vietnamese or Brazilian equivalents. Tellicherry pepper in particular is renowned for its large berry size (above 4.75mm), bold aroma, and premium flavour — making it the preferred choice for European and US premium spice importers.
Sourced from the Malabar Coast of Kerala — the historic home of Indian pepper. Our supply network covers Wayanad, Idukki, and Kozhikode districts. Full lot-level traceability, farm documentation, and phytosanitary certificates provided with every shipment.
We supply Indian black pepper in internationally recognised export grades. All grades comply with ASTA (American Spice Trade Association) and ESA (European Spice Association) standards.
