Szechuan peppercorns, also spelled Sichuan and Szechuwan, are a distinct and flavorful peppercorn. The flavor of Sichuan pepper is aromatic, complex, and a bit lemony. It is not hot or pungent like black pepper or chili pepper.
Sichuan peppercorns create a slight numbness and tingling sensation in the mouth. In China, this numbing and tingling sensation is referred to as “ma.” The unique mouthfeel is somewhere between a carbonated drink and a mild electric current.
Sichuan peppercorns are most often ground and put into spicy Asian dishes. They are most popular as a spice in Chinese, Tibetan, Nepali, and Indian cuisine.
Sichuan Peppercorns are also known as Chinese coriander.

Good Quality not great speedy delivery
I’m guessing the best quality Sichuan Peppercorns stay in China. Overall the flavor is good with strong citrus notes the málà however, was very mild and with a heavy hand can help tackle my craving for Sichuan dishes. (+3) The order was delivered timely by USPS. (+1)
