To the nose, Timiz pepper reveals intense notes of Havana tobacco, resin, and roasted herbs. This small elongated spike is artisanally dried after harvest, giving it a deliciously smoky scent. With great aromatic complexity, it is smooth and warm with a hot and spicy trace. This pepper gives off a mentholated and camphorated flavor while bringing a lot of warmth.

The History of Timiz Pepper
The endogamous dynasty of the Manjos, known for their knowledge of the wild world, was the only one to harvest it and used it in their pharmacopeia from the 14th century. Therefore, Timiz pepper was not really consumed as a condiment and it was much later that it was used in cooking. Nowadays, this pepper is a key ingredient in the local cuisine of West Africa. Did you know? This pepper has only been marketed since 1984, which explains why it is still relatively unknown despite its exceptional flavors.
