A booming pepper export industry exploded in the 1930s and 1940s, when roughly 100 tons of pepper were produced a year and sent to high-end restaurants in Paris.
But when Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge took power in 1975—wiping out nearly 1.8 million Cambodians in a warped Marxist revolution that quickly became a genocide—all exports from the country were strictly banned.

Yes,
Kampot Black pepper was reputed to be the premier black pepper in all the world. Afterwards, Tellicherry took over the mantel as it was readily available, and Kampot pepper was never to recover. Nowadays, everyone believes Tellicherry to be the best, yet it doesn't hold a candle to Kampot, and marketing being what it is aims to keep Tellicherry black pepper on top. jm2cw.

Recent Amreica's Test Kitchen video on, "The best pepper"
What I found interesting, and potentially useful, for our research was the use of plain white rice as a carrier in order to buffer the palate, and plain water to wash between tastings.
This method might give us a better opportunity to not only "taste" individual spices without blowing out our taste buds, but also taste how different herbs and spices interact in combination with each other, especially when it comes to building recipes, layer by layer.
definitely and interesting way of exploring the taste of herbs and spices, Oh, and Tones Whole Black pepper won, Tellicherry or not.
