If you like intense flavor, this product would be your favorite! It makes my Mapo tofu tastes like a million dollar! I love that pungent flavor they add to the dish.
Yes, unfortunately this has quite a few of the black seeds in it. Maybe 10% of the contents will have the black seeds, which is a marker for a very poor quality product. I'm quite disappointed with the number of seeds.
It is all relative, in my opinion. What is 'deluxe' to one individual, could be 'regular'. In this case, they could be used interchangeably. Good product!
They don’t appear to be, but they’re still delicious and great quality.
Please allow me to take this opportunity to educate others that may be wondering what “Tellicherry” means....

Tellicherry and regular peppercorns are pretty much the exact same thing, from the same plant, regardless of location that they were harvested from or how. The DIFFERENCE though, is that Tellicherry peppercorns are larger (about 4.25 mm) and anything smaller is counted as a regular peppercorn. (Some brands will label peppercorns 4.75 or larger as Tellicherry “Extra Bold” or “Supreme”.)
What’s to gain from the bigger size, you might wonder?.....
Well, larger peppercorns lose some of their heat, but become more aromatic and fragrant as a result. The type and quality of such aroma will depend on the type of peppercorn that you’re looking at. (Some varieties are more lemony or orangey and so on.)
It’s as simple as that really.
