We source our Quảng Nam Cinnamon at an altitude about 1500 m above sea level in the highlands in central Vietnam on the borders of Laos. The tree is indigenous to the nearby Truong Son forest and has long been considered sacred by the local communities due to its many medicinal abilities.
The cultivation of this particular variety, locally called Tra My Cinnamon, is an ancient practice by many ethnic groups in the area and is quite unique. It takes 10 years before the bark of the tree matures into the highest quality.
Once ready a cut at the base of the tree lets the bark dry for a couple of weeks before harvesting. This method of drying captures the essential oils and makes for an incredible product.

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 single 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 can create 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 be supported by our collaboration.
