Sri Lanka is one of the world's great spice islands, the original source of true cinnamon, and home to some of the finest black pepper and cardamom on earth. These four represent the island's spice heritage at its best: a bold black pepper from the Kandy highlands, real Ceylon cinnamon, fragrant green cardamom, and a curry blend that shows how Sri Lankans actually cook with their own spices. A starting point, and an education.

Sri Lankan Curry Blend (25g)

Kandy Black Pepper grows in the central highlands around Sri Lanka's cultural capital, at elevations that slow the berry's development and produce a rounder, more complex heat than lowland peppers. The soil here is red and laterite, the same geology responsible for the island's legendary tea. Harvested by hand at full maturity and sun-dried on woven mats in the hill country air. We source through Ekoland, our Sri Lankan partner.

Sri Lanka Cinnamon is the real thing. True Ceylon cinnamon, from the southwest of the island, is made from thin, layered quills of bark that are light, papery and sweet. Delicate, almost floral, it reveals what te regions cinnamon tastes like when grown where it belongs.

Cardamom from Sri Lanka's hill country grows in the shade of rainforest canopy, in slow, cool conditions that allow each pod to develop full aromatic complexity. Smaller and more intensely perfumed than their Guatemalan equivalents, with a eucalyptus-clean freshness that makes them exceptional in both sweet and savoury cooking.

The Sri Lankan Curry Blend is not like the spice-aisle version. Made from locally grown spices including roasted coriander, black pepper, cumin, fenugreek and curry leaf. It has a deeper, earthier character, built for the coconut-milk-based curries of the island's own cuisine.

The Kandy Black Pepper is a grinder pepper for everything. Try cracking it generously over a simple tomato salad, a soft cheese, or any white fish before grilling.

Use the Ceylon Cinnamon in milk-based desserts where its delicacy can shine: rice pudding, creme brulee, a baked pear. In savoury cooking, add a half stick to a slow-cooked lamb or chicken curry, fragrance without overwhelm.

The Cardamom is exceptional in coffee. Crack two pods into your cafetiere or pour-over. Also: cardamom buns, rice dishes, butter-poached stone fruit. Ground, it transforms shortbread.

The Curry Blend is your weeknight shortcut to something genuinely delicious. Fry briefly in coconut oil with onion, garlic and ginger, add coconut milk, vegetables and protein. Finish with lime. Serve with rice.

Pair with: coconut milk, lime, lentils, chicken, fish, lamb, rice, cauliflower, sweet potato, coffee, cream, stone fruit, pastry.

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.
