Piper nigrum: The peppercorn plant belongs to the piperaceae plant family. It is a woody evergreen vine that grows up to 11 yards tall and has dark green, broad, somewhat oval shaped leaves. The plants use aerial roots to cling to, and climb up trees.

Peppercorn plants have small white flowers that bloom in clusters of up to 150 florets and hang down in a spike. These flowers then ripen into the little berries we know as peppercorns. It takes several years for a young plant to flower and begin to produce fruit (the peppercorns).

Three different kinds of peppercorns are produced by the peppercorn plant (Piper nigrum): Black, white, and green pepper.

Since peppercorn plants prefer a hot, humid, tropical environment, they are mainly produced in India, but also are produced in China, Indonesia, and Brazil, and other tropical places.

Black peppercorns often take on the name of the region where they were produced, or the port they were exported from. Malabar, Tellicherry, Singapore, Bangkok, Sarawak, and Belém are common examples of this.
