About Hambleden:
Hambleden Herbs is a long established organic brand with a reputation for high quality products and efficient, friendly service. Their products have won many awards over the years, a recognition of the quality of the Soil Association certified organic herbs, spices, teas and tinctures which have always been their speciality.
Life for Hambleden Herbs began back in 1982 on an organic herb farm in the small village of Hambleden in the Oxford shire countryside. In 1985 our dried herb range was launched and at the time was the only certified organic range of dried herbs in the UK. With the launch of our organic herbal tea range 4 years later, Hambleden Herbs was fast becoming the brand of choice for the informed consumer.
As interest in organic ingredients increased demand soon outstripped available supply from the farm and the business had to look further a field to secure supply of top quality, certified, organic ingredients. This resulted in a new focus for the business, and a new company being set up to specialise in the sourcing and importing of raw materials. Although the two businesses now operate separately, they continue to use some of the same suppliers that they did 20 years ago, and still call on the wealth of expertise and knowledge of their old partner.
Today Hambleden Herbs continues to hold true to its values of “Purity, Vitality and Integrity”, using them to inspire new blends of teas, herbs and spices that will excite and awaken your senses.
Usage
These bunches are left overnight to begin fermenting before they are dried in the sun. The drying takes around 5 days and at the end of the process the berries will have dropped from their stalks, the fleshy outer casing will have shrivelled and the berries will look like the black peppercorns that we are used to seeing.
Peppercorns can be used whole to flavour stews, casseroles, soups and sauces, or milled and added to all savoury dishes, either during cooking, or at the last minute.
