What Is Ceylon White Pepper?
White pepper comes from the same climbing vine as black pepper, Piper nigrum, the king of spices. Ripe red berries are soaked so their outer skin softens and slips away, revealing the smooth, creamy-white seed inside, which is then washed and sun-dried.
White pepper has a clean, bright heat with earthy, floral notes, and it blends invisibly into pale dishes. That is why chefs love it for creamy sauces, mashed potatoes, white soups and fish, and why it is a treasured seasoning in Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese cooking.

Sri Lankan Sourcing and Origin
In Sri Lanka, white pepper is called sudu gammiris, and pepper vines climb the trees of spice gardens across Matale, Kandy, Kegalle and Badulla. Ceylon pepper has been prized by traders for centuries, and today Sri Lankan pepper is loved around the world for its bold, aromatic character.
Sri Lanka’s warm, humid mid-country climate grows rich, flavourful pepper. As a Sri Lankan white pepper supplier, Leafy Ceylon brings these fragrant peppercorns to international buyers, with carefully selected berries, clean processing and origin details for your brand story.
Harvesting and Processing
We harvest fully ripe red pepper berries and soak them in clean water until the outer skin softens. The skin is gently rubbed away, and the creamy-white seeds are washed and sun-dried until crisp. The peppercorns are then cleaned, graded and packed whole, cracked or milled into a fine, even powder.
Our white pepper supplier team shares product photos, processing details and samples, so you can taste the pepper before you order.
Quality and Certifications
As a quality-focused white pepper supplier, we check every lot for colour, aroma, size, density, moisture and cleanliness. A certificate of analysis with lot information is available, including microbiology, pesticide residue and heavy-metal testing, with piperine and volatile oil analysis where your product needs it.
