  • Fully matured pepper berries are hand-harvested and carefully selected.
  •  The selected berries are soaked in tanks with piped running mountain water under controlled conditions to remove the pericarp. CWP can also be produced by soaking the matured berries in clean and clear running mountain streams.
  • The constant monitoring of water circulation produces uniformly high-quality CWP. This process also allows the CWP to acquire distinctive aromas and flavours.
