Four Peppercorn Blend

This is our go to for filling up our pepper grinder. High quality price and I like the smell & flavor of the rainbow blend over just the regular pepper.

I could never understand why my husband wanted a pepper grinder - pepper is pepper, right? But a few years ago, he asked me to order some better peppercorns instead of buying the ones at the grocery store. I chose these (Four Peppercorn Rainbow Blend), and to my surprise, I love the flavor of pepper now! I grew up using finely-ground McCormick's pepper from the red & white, rectangular metal can, but now I would feel deprived if I couldn't use this freshly ground pepper. I'm almost "addicted" to it! I even bought a pepper grinder to keep at work so I can enjoy freshly-ground pepper at lunch, too. There might be even better peppercorns out there, but so far, we're really happy with these. My husband had me order some Szechuan red pepper, but I didn't care for it. They're not overly hot, but they had kind of a lemony flavor that seemed odd to me, and they also make your tongue kind of tingly/numb. Eventually even my husband got tired of it, plus, they didn't work very well in the pepper grinder because we didn't get the more expensive premium version that has removed the hard shells (or something like that). As for a pepper grinder, we had previously had one that you squeezed with your hand to grind up the pepper. That became difficult for my husband to use because he has lost mobility in his right hand, and it was painful for him to squeeze repeatedly to grind the pepper. I looked on Amazon and found a stainless steel Epare Battery-Operated Salt or Pepper Grinder. I've since bought a couple of other brands that look exactly the same - the latest was iBunny brand. Anyway, this type works well because he only has to press a button on the top, and the batteries do all the work. Not only that, it shines a light on the food so you can see how much pepper you have. The batteries last forever - about 2 years.

Five stars is for the quality, freshness, packaging, and appearance. The blend certainly looks very festive, so for people who like to use some whole peppercorns as a garnish, this should do very nicely! And for people who like the red peppercorns, there are A LOT. Personally, I did discover that I don't like that many of the red ones - a few is nice, but I got some white and black peppercorns to mix with this blend to suit my own particular (peculiar, LOL!) taste. But that's just me, and the **product** was excellent.

These are good because the peppercorn size is small enough for my electric grinder. Had an issue with some of the peppercorns of other brands not being grindable because they were a little too big.

Arrived quickly. As described, seems expensive but works.

This is truly top of the line peppers for your grinder and cooking. I have bought several times in the past and will continue to buy.

This is probably the best blend of pepper I have ever had. The color of pepper corns are pretty evenly distributed throughout the bad. I have found that a lot of other pepper corn mixtures contain more black or more green, but this blend is pretty even. Not just the boring black pepper flavor anymore. Outside of the taste, even the appearance is very good. I have a clear pepper grinder and the additional touch of the four color pepper corns adds a little something to the table display. The taste of the pepper corns is top notch also, very robust and strong flavor, which to me means they are very fresh. Great aroma as well after just grinding. Pros: Taste Freshness Appearance Speed of delivery Price Cons: none The only downside I see as probably with most pepper is if you have your grinder towards the fine setting, you do not get as robust of a flavor as you do with the grinder being set on a little more coarse of a setting. I ordered this item on a Tuesday and it was delivered to my door on Friday. The item was processed and shipped within 24 hours as promised.
