Directly from the middle mountains of Nepal, specifically the regions of Kavrepalanchok and Sindhupalchok, comes the Siltimur berry. Often referred to as "Tchuli pepper" or "Lemon pepper," this wild-harvested berry is suave, captivating, and entirely heat-free. It offers a sophisticated alternative to traditional peppers for those seeking vibrant citrus aromatics without the spice.
