It grows only in the forests of Nepal at altitudes above 1,000 metres, which gives it its distinctive flavour: an explosion of fresh grapefruit, yuzu, and wild citrus followed by a gentle, pleasant numbing sensation on the tongue.<\/p>\n<p>It is not technically a pepper , it has no capsaicin heat, making it perfect for chefs and food lovers who want complex flavour without burning spice.<\/p>\n<h3>Why chefs love it<\/h3>\n<p>Timut Pepper has taken European fine dining by storm.
