Timut – black pepper
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Stock item. Dispatched within 2-3 business days.
Timut is magical. This Nepalese relative of Sichuan pepper works beautifully with all types of fish. Its distinctive citrus and grapefruit aroma also complements chocolate desserts, fruit, chutney and jam.
The Timut plant is not botanically related to black pepper (Piper nigrum), but to citrus plants.
It grows wild as a tree with dense leafy branches. Thorns of up to two centimetres make harvesting difficult. After flowering in spring, red berries containing glossy black seeds develop.
The ripe berries are harvested by hand in autumn. The pickers then carefully separate them from stems, leaves and other plant material.
After drying, the small black seeds fall out of the husks.
Suitable for a mortar or pepper mill.
Kampot pepper:
This pepper, which is one of the best in the world, has been grown in the Cambodian province of Kampot for centuries.
This spicy black pepper grows in the southern part of Kampot Province, which lies between the southern foothills of the Elephant Mountains and the Gulf of Thailand.
Due to this special location - between the mountains and the sea - the pepper plant grows in particularly nutrient-rich soil and can therefore develop its full aroma. The Kampot Noir harvest takes place in the months of April to June.
Muntok pepper:
Originating from the Indonesian island of Bangka, not far from Sumatra, and named after its export port, it contains only about 1% essential oils, has less aroma and a cleaner spiciness than traditional black pepper.
Penja pepper:
Penja Blanc grows on volcanic soil, which is rich in minerals and thus gives the pepper its character. The pepper has a round, intense spicy taste. In addition, the peppers are fully ripe. The taste is robust and powerful with a mineral aroma. It harmonizes with fish and shellfish, poultry, vegetables, orange and pear.
Thekkady pepper:
Originating from the southwestern Indian region of Kerala, in Periyar National Park, ancient pepper varieties that are threatened with extinction are cared for and handpicked by local people as part of a sustainable, organic management system. These ancient varieties have a much higher proportion of essential oils than new hybrid peppers.
Time for pepper:
This pepper from Nepael is considered the Nepalese Szechuan pepper, which is not botanically related to black pepper (Piper nigrum), but to citrus plants.
The Timut pepper plant grows wild as a tree with dense leafy branches, where thorns of up to two centimeters make harvesting difficult, around 2,000 meters. After flowering in spring, red berries are formed, containing shiny black seeds.
Later, in the fall, the ripe berries are harvested by hand. Then, the pickers, almost always women, carefully separate the harvested berries from other plant components, such as stems and leaves, by hand. The berries are then dried, and the small black seed balls fall out of the shell. This is a good thing, because they taste bitter.
Indian mountain pepper:
Indian mountain pepper is hand-picked "single-origin" and the pepper is dried in the sun for a very long time.
This jungle pepper grows in a pepper plantation in the heights of the Western Ghats in southern India. The plantation has been run as a purely organic farm for over 20 years and places great emphasis on rich biodiversity. This farm has one of the highest rainfalls in India.
Sri Lankan pepper:
Sri Lanka is world famous for its excellent spices and spice gardens.
The pepper has very beautiful brown berries with a lot of strength and content. And it has a lovely spiciness that tingles a little and stays in the mouth for a long time. The pepper from Sri Lanka therefore harmonizes very well with beef, soups and sauces, dressings and ragouts.

Real products – honestly explained
For us, craftsmanship, materials and aesthetics come first. Our images should give you an accurate impression of what you are buying. That is why you also deserve an honest explanation of how we work with product photos.
Where do the images come from?
- Our own photos: We photograph the products from Rune-Jakobsen Woodworks ourselves. They are real, handmade products from our workshop. We also photograph part of the rest of our range ourselves.
- Photos from the makers: For some of the brands we carry, we use the manufacturer's own product images combined with our own photos.
- Customer photos: Now and then, customers send us photos and give us permission to use them. We show them exactly as we received them.
Where do we use AI?
Some of our images have been edited with AI tools. We do this to:
- show the product in a home or kitchen, so you can see it in context
- clean up the background, adjust the lighting and remove dust or distracting reflections
We do not use AI to change a product's shape, size, proportions, material or colour, and we never show AI-generated products that do not exist. Every image is based on a photo of the real product. We compare every AI-edited image with the physical product before it goes live in our shop.
Our images may inspire you – but they must never promise more than the product can deliver.
Images when choosing a variant
Many of our products come in a wide range of sizes and variants, and we do not yet have images of all of them. The image shown for your selection therefore primarily shows the wood species. It does not necessarily show the exact size or design variant.
Every piece is unique
Many of our products are handmade one-of-a-kind pieces, and natural materials such as wood, ceramics and glass vary from piece to piece. That is why the product you receive will never be completely identical to the one in the picture. This is exactly what sets craftsmanship apart from mass production.
Not sure? We're happy to help.
If you have questions about design, size, wood species or special requests, write to us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk. We will gladly advise you before you order.
