In the bay area there should be many sources. Maybe they don't like gaijin. Try asking for 'chao tian' or looking for these characters on the package.



Do you have a good source of Sichuan pepper for true authenticity?
 
Great information. Its off to the chinese store this weekend armed with a photograph

"Do you have a good source of Sichuan pepper for true authenticity?"

My chinese friend at work said its not hard to find but I havent tried to find any yet. It was just the Chiles I was struggling with.
 
i'm not sure if it's the same thing, but i picked this up at an Asian market in Jersey today. You actually inspired me to go look. I think this is similar. I was so happy to find them that i picked up two bags. $2 per bag. You can't get better than that. I think i'm going to see if any sprout. Maybe give em a grow, ya know?
