From behind the counter
Tellicherry is a grade, not a marketing word: the biggest berries from the Malabar coast, picked late. Crack one with the flat of a knife and smell pine resin and dried orange before the heat shows up. Once you grind these over buttered noodles, the grocery store tin becomes a stranger.
