Trivia
[For Adults] Taiwanese love 'Ma (numbness)' as much as 'La (heat)', making this oil essential for raising Mala flavor resolution. Red peppercorns feature heavy aroma; green feature fresh citrus scent. Over-adding paralyzes the tongue so much that even water loses taste, so starting with a few drops is the iron rule.
