Black Pepper

A middle note with a medium aroma, Black Pepper Essential Oil has a sharp, spicy scent faintly reminiscent of Clove.

This climbing woody vine uses trees or other supports to grow to about twenty feet high, but is normally kept to about 12 feet for commercial purposes and has a lifespan of about twenty years.  The Greeks, Romans and Turks levied a tax on pepper, while during the Middle Ages the Dutch, French and Portuguese often went to war to fight over this lucrative trade with the Far East.
