Tribute Peppers

59 total reviews

Our Tribute Peppers are grown in Qingxi village. The small village produces a variety called gongjiao (Tribute Pepper), so prized for its many uses that it was offered in tribute to the emperor. It is excruciatingly hand-picked to preserve its delicate oils. Thrown whole into long braises and stews or roasted and ground to top iconic dishes like mapo tofu and twice-cooked pork, just-harvested gongjiao electrifies dishes with the signature Sichuan numbing spice and a heady citrus bouquet.

    New favorite

    Historically, I’ve only purchased products that already incorporate this particular pepper into a broader list of ingredients. This was the first time I’ve worked with the actual raw pepper. Thanks to the power of the Internet, I found numerous ways to prepare and enjoy this. Due to my immense fondness for it, I’ve had a particularly difficult time NOT incorporating it into almost each and every meal. I’ve tried and regularly purchase four different products from this trusted company.

    Essentially being a type of peppercorn I had expected more of a black ground peppery experience, immediately upon opening the bag, I smelled the citrusy lemon like scent from the peppers which was a little strange at first and then I experienced the tongue numbing tingly sensation I had heard about a wanted to encounter. I was not disappointed.

    I've never had anything like this before and I love it!

    I ordered all the ingredients you suggested in the Mapo Tofu recipe, which included these peppers. They have a sweet, citrusy smell and are unlike anything I've ever had. I absolutely love them, at least in the mapo tofu.
