bunte pfefferkörner / colorful pepper

Black peppercorns are also contained in the colorful pepper. However, the fresh nuances of green pepper and the very hot white pepper mix with the sharp aroma. Many pepper mixtures also contain pink berries, which are often referred to as pink pepper, but have nothing to do with standard pepper – neither botanically nor in terms of taste. Because they tend to contain slightly sweet notes.

So while black pepper is just one type of pepper, colored pepper contains different types of pepper that differ in taste and spiciness.
