Sri Lankan black pepper cultivation: peppercorns grown on climbing vines - unique agriculture. Farms: (1) Matale + Kandy region spice estates. (2) Some Handunugoda-adjacent farms. (3) Rathnapura area estates. (4) Small village farms combined tours. Peppercorn types: green (fresh), black (dried immature), white (mature + processed). Ceylon black pepper particularly aromatic - premium quality vs Malabar. Tours: half-day USD 20-45 + purchase. Best times: harvest season November-February. Peppercorn processing demos included.

Green peppercorns (fresh, brined) are Sri Lankan specialty - hard to find elsewhere. Used in specific Sri Lankan curries + international cuisine. Farm-fresh available season. Vacuum-packed for travel.

For serious spice enthusiasts: some estates combine pepper + cardamom + cinnamon + turmeric + clove tours in single day = comprehensive Sri Lankan spice education. USD 40-80 full day including lunch. Perfect one-day spice immersion.

Ceylon black pepper distinctive flavor: floral + fruity vs Indian Malabar's earthiness. Prized by professional chefs + food enthusiasts. Fresh from farm = markedly different from supermarket. USD 8-25 per 100g premium quality.
