Sichuan pepper

Sichuan pepper is derived from Asia and is named after the Sichuan province in China where it is common in cooking; funnily enough it’s not called Sichuan Pepper in China, but is better known as flower pepper. Sichuan pepper is not actually a pepper and is not related to either black pepper or chili, but consists of dried shell of a small fruit.

To extract fragrances from Sichuan pepper you have a difficult process in front of you but the smell is "cool hot" with hints of wood and spices.
