N°03 — 胡椒
Pepper
The island’s late harvest.
Left on the vine until red, dried in the sea wind of Phú Quốc, sorted grain by grain in Japan.

Phú Quốc’s pepper gardens grow in ochre soil a breath from the ocean. The rarest berries are left to ripen fully red — a harvest most farms never wait for.
Sun-dried, winnowed, then sorted by hand and by eye to the house’s standard. Only whole, dense berries carry the house mark.
Red pepper crushes sweet before it burns — citrus first, then a long warmth. Finish a steak, a chocolate, a strawberry. It holds its own.
