Our Aranya Black Pepper is our pride and joy, and its counterpart Aranya White Pepper is no less exceptional. Using only the ripest berries, our peppercorns are repeatedly soaked to remove the outer skin and reveal a greyish white core that is then sundried. The process is labor-intensive, but the delicious payout is worth it. The resulting pepper is sharper in taste and perfect Regional Chinese dishes like Cantonese salt & pepper pork chops, chicken wings, hot and sour soup, and any other dishes where you don’t want the appearance of black pepper.

Grown on the Parameswaran family farm, where Parameswaran and his son Akash have been naturally farming pepper for over 35 years, amidst passion fruit, tigers (no, really!), and the largest collection of bamboo and palm varieties in the region!

The spices in our very first masala are the result of four years of sourcing across 40 small, regenerative family farms throughout India and Sri Lanka.

Grown wild on the Dalvi family farm alongside Alphonso mangoes and cashews, the three making up the holy trinity of Konkan coastal farming.

Grown by two women farmers - Kong Hun from the village of Saphai and Kong Daplin from the village Iooski, and sourced for us by our friends at Zizira, a small team of Meghalaya locals dedicated to connecting indigenous farmers to better markets.

Grown and foraged for us by our friends at Eko Land, a community of organic farmers from the heart of Sri Lanka! This very special cinnamon is a freshly ground blend, developed just for us.
