The flavor of Kampot pepper is truly special, with light, sweet citrus notes, a touch of roasted coffee and a lingering pepper finish. Pepper has a long history in Cambodia, dating back to the 13th century.
Although the country's pepper production was decimated during the Khmer Rouge years, the spice is enjoying a prosperous comeback. Our organic pepper is grown on family farms in the Kampot region using traditional methods.
About Single-Origin spices: Spices in our Single-Origin line come from a single place, whether it be a single farm, a small network of family farmers, or a small group of traditional foragers.

Oaktown Spice Shop has been in the Adams Point neighborhood for nine years. They focus on sourcing the absolute best-tasting version of each individual spice, then grind the spices themselves, in their shop. This means the ground spices customers find at Oaktown are bursting with flavor and are far fresher than those found elsewhere.
