Taste Profile

Fruity up front. A slow, volcanic build that spreads across the tongue. Deep, complex heat that lingers for 10 minutes. Not sharp. Not acidic. A warmth that rewards patience.

What 15g Gets You

Approximately 30 servings. A single pinch transforms a dish. Use it on seafood, steak, chocolate, tequila shots, or anything you want to elevate. One bottle lasts 2–3 months with regular use.

This Is Not Tabasco

This is not sriracha. This is not supermarket chili flakes. This is the Girian Pepper — a single cultivar grown only in the mountains of Northern Thailand, harvested once a year under the monsoon moon, by hand, in silence.

Before You Buy

What does it taste like? +

The Girian Pepper has a fruity, almost citrus-forward opening that gives way to a deep, slow-building heat. It's not the sharp, instant burn of cayenne. It's a warm, complex wave that builds over 30 seconds and lingers for up to 10 minutes. People describe it as smoky, earthy, and addictive.

How spicy is it? +

On the Scoville scale, the Girian Pepper sits between 15,000–30,000 SHU — comparable to a serrano pepper but with a very different heat profile. The heat builds slowly and spreads evenly rather than hitting a sharp peak. A tiny pinch adds warmth. A generous pinch brings real fire.

Why €25 for 15 grams? +

The Girian Pepper is harvested once a year, by hand, from a single valley in Northern Thailand. There is no industrial farming, no mass production, and no blending. Each bottle represents a year of natural growth and centuries of tradition. At approximately 30 servings per bottle, that's less than €1 per meal transformed.

How long does a bottle last? +

With regular use (a pinch per dish, a few times a week), one 15g bottle lasts 2–3 months. Stored in a cool, dark place with the lid sealed, the powder retains its full potency for up to 18 months.
