These beautiful berries are sourced from Nepal - high in the Himalayan Mountains. It grows wild at an altitude of 1200 m to 2700 meters, deep in the subtropical rainforests of Northern India.  Cumeo Pepper is the fruit of the Lindera Neesiana plant. There are about 100 species of Lindera, which grow mainly in Asia. In the summer, the Lindera produces 6-8 mm red fruit, the Cumeo pepper. The pepperfruits are painstakingly picked by hand at the peak of ripeness, usually by the local residents. After harvesting, the grapefruit pepper dries under the sun. During drying, it changes color, from the original red color to brown to black. This slow drying process maintains the flavor quality and aroma of the product.
