Description: Why it is expensive than other off the shelf packets ? You asked why it is expensive? I'm not only the seller. I'm also the grower. So let me tell you why this is worth it...What you get. Best of the Best: Sri Lanka (Ceylon) is known for the worlds best spices and tea. Sri Lankan Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is one such delicacy known around the world for its unique taste and high concentration of piperine. Quality over quantity: There are some garden varieties that have a superior flavor but does not produce a high yield. Hence most commercial plantains do not grow them. This is a such a variety I grown in my own garden. It differs from high yield based varieties found in large scale pepper farms. 100% Organic: This is a product from my own garden. No pesticides, No chemical fertilizers, 0% of synthetic chemicals. Only compost was used as the fertilizer. Definitely non GM crop. Select with reassurance. Handpicked: Unlike mass productions, selected and handpicked peppercorn. Far superior quality. (only around 5 kg available for this season) Long shelf life: It is properly dried and can be stored for more than two years in a sealed container. Fast and reliable shipping: We want you to get them fresh and undamaged. Hence we spend a little extra for a fast reliable courier service instead of a generic postal service. To put it simply. It comes from a country, famous for pepper and even among them this is an heirloom breed which is the top of the top. Only very very limited quantity available. 100 % organic. Handpicked and dried for the best quality control. So this unique and rare spice comes with a higher price than off the shelf common packet. Please note I'm not a mass manufacturer of spices. Hence I do not have any fancy packages. It would come in an air tight package and I will take all the precaution to make it secure and properly delivered. It will have the date of manufacturing and best before date is around 2 to 2½ years from manufacturing. Here are some photos taken while your product is being prepared. I included my eBay username in background to show this is authentic. Thank you and enjoy the product.
