OUR SPICES

Five spices from the Idukki hills and Kerala’s Western Ghats: green cardamom, black pepper, cloves, cassia cinnamon and dried ginger. These are our core range — the spices we focus on and know best.

We can also source other spices on enquiry. If you need something beyond the five below, tell us the specification and we’ll explore it through our sourcing.

Every consignment ships with an independent certificate of analysis.
