Our godown
Our great-grandfather traded pepper from a godown by the Mattancherry jetty in 1958. We still sit in the same rooms, buy directly from 60 grower families, clean every lot by hand on bamboo trays, and grind only what we can sell within the month.
Whole spices, fresh powders or a filled dabba.
Powders are ground on Tuesday and packed the same day.
Sealed kraft pouches at your door in 2–5 days.

Visit us on Bazaar Road any morning. We will open the sacks, let you taste, and grind your order while you wait.
