For starters, it's got to be the cutest packaging ever! Good job on picking the design. Super fun. Up until finding your website, I was buying whole peppercorns from my local grocery stores; all overpriced, never the taste or quantity I wanted. My nuts.com order arrived in days. Their price for a pound of whole peppercorns was equal, to what I paid at local stores, for 3oz. of inferior product! I used my new peppercorns last night and they were potent. Super fresh product. I don't think most people realize how pepper is supposed to taste. The ground stuff in stores is mostly dust and the whole peppercorns are usually old and stale. I will definitely be ordering all of my spices and nuts from your company. Thanks!
