Doi is a very unique seed used by local communities in Northern Vietnam. The taste is kind of hard to pinpoint. As is the aroma. It is just one of a kind. Very distinct, deep and persistent. Once you have tried you will always be able to locate it. Locally it is used to flavor meat and skewers as well to make dipping sauces together with Mac Khen and Star Anise.
Doi grows on tall trees, up to 30 meters, and pickers climb up small bamboo ladders to gather the seeds that turn from red to brownish when dried.
Start with 1 seed since they have incredible flavor that penetrates everything.
Our Doi is picked by the Chi Dao Cooperative from the mountains of Hoa Binh. We source this spice together with Doi Spices who work closely with local farmers in Vietnam generating new livelihoods and markets for these communities.

We love food, we love the discovery, flavor combinations and we want to learn, spread that knowledge and collaborate. We asked questions that no one could answer, so we had to go and find the answers ourselves. We love that it is a rediscovery of something very known to us all , yet has the possibility to teach us something completely new. We love what food brings to the table, the meeting, the ceremony, the bridging of cultures.
We are so proud to work closely with top restaurants in Scandinavia, focusing on quality and taste.
We recommend that you head over to Mattias Dahlgren and Rutabaga, Resturant AG, Airia, Frantzens, Warung, Nour, DoMa and many more if you like to bite into one of our peppercorns and spices. But hey, send us an email if you think your favorite restaurant should have our pepper.

We work closely with our small scale farmers who uses traditional methods when growing their pepper and spices, like organic compost and no usage of pesticides. The usage of pesticides directly affects the flavor of the product.
We have connected with our farmers directly, meaning no middle hand. But this also means that they run smaller farms with no organic certifications. As our business grows we will able to take the next steps towards certifications. Stay tuned!
Finding the source, is finding the answer. We quest for unique high quality pepper and spices. We work harvest based and singleย origin only, meaning we only sell pepper from farmers we know. Many times we have tasted and smelled a spice knowing that there are more more lines of inquiry before reaching the very origin of the spice and the people who are cultivating it. Our way of working is special because we actually go to the farmers and we don't stop questing until we found the best of the best.
Mostly it is curiosity, openness and intuition that leads you to the right path.
Tax included.
We research, always knowing that it's when we go local we actually meet the right people. We make sure to live, eat, listen, dream and drink with our farmers and partners. From here we can start to see where we have common ground so we canย createย a value based foundation that support both of our needs. It is also very important that the partners and farmers we work with are anchored within their communities, so that generative development and liveihoods can beย supported by our collaboration.
