To me they taste peppery but not quite as hot and maybe a little sweeter?
(It is hard to describe tastes.) Not particularly like cardamon.  As to
whether you got what you thought you were getting, grains are a little
smaller than peppercorns, brown rather than the almost black of pepper,
almost round but pointed at one spot which is tan--looks almost yellow
against the brown.
