My intent for this order was to get grey sea salt, but I couldn't find this ground finely. I decided to get a salt grinder (I did see how the grey sea salt needs to be dried first), found a set of salt and pepper grinders I liked, and decided it would look great on the table with the rainbow peppercorns. I can't say it tastes any differently, but I was recently told the first bite is done with the eyes. For that purpose, I think this is great.
Was impressed with packaging and price. I read the back and they do teas as well as other spices. The peppercorn looks like an interesting mix though I haven’t tried yet!
This is a great pepper blend. I cannot say enough about Spice Lab products. I regularly use this blend on chicken and beef or in salads.
My pepper grinder rejoices at it's new filling, and the neat little 'inclusions' in the package were really tasty and fun!
This blend of pepper is perfect. The flavor is delightful and adds the perfect blend of seasoning and flavor to a dish.

Description
This is a blend of the most aromatic and popular peppercorn spices. It contains red, black, white, and green peppercorns and allspice. The allspice adds a sweetness to the blend. The peppercorn blend is the definitive gourmet table seasoning for everyday meals or discerning dinner parties. Black, white and green peppercorns all come from the common pepper plant (Piper nigrum), a flowering tropical plant that was originally native to India. The plant produces tiny berries or "drupes." These berries can be harvested and processed at various stages of their maturity to achieve different flavors and colors. Peppercorns have far-reaching cultural and historical significance. They were sought-after by Europeans as far back as ancient times, and as a result, often drove exploration and commerce. As early as the Roman Empire, they were bought, sold and taxed. The lure of pepper and other spices brought explorers from all over Europe to India during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Peppercorns were sometimes accepted in lieu of money in dowries, taxes and rent.
A stimulant, peppercorns have traditionally been used as a remedy for digestive complaints including indigestion and constipation. The chemical that gives peppercorns their hot flavor, piperine, may assist in chemical functions within the body. In Indian Ayurvedic medicine, peppercorns are also used to stimulate appetite and to treat colds, coughs and sore throats.
Jamaican allspice is not only used for its culinary depth and versatility, but for treatment of digestive ailments, and is known to improve appetite through its active amount of phenol eugenol, a gentle numbing compound that was historically used by dentists. Its warming effects are also often used externally to relieve chest infections, arthritis and flu symptoms.
Colorful blend that goes well in my grinder sets with the Himalayan pink crystal salt from this vendor.
A good balance and a variety of peppercorns.
Not as colorful and pretty as some mixed peppercorns but tastes great and is really fresh!
Very, very happy. Fresh and full flavoured.
Haven't used the peppercorns yet but the amount you get for the price is fantastic.
