WHOLE FRESH SPICES DIRECT FROM PRODUCERS ...more information pictures SP1  

Spices and sustainable agricultural system - ETHICALLY PROCURED:

All our spices are grown by friends in their family lands or by villagers in the ancient traditional way without artificial fertilizers or modern chemical sprays. As with pepper, the vines are planted against trees which provide support to the vine and as the pepper vine root system draws sustenance from high in the soil level it does not compete with the root system of the larger tree. Most spices are grown as a supplementary crop to existing tree crops.
Our own family tea estate in Dolosbagie near Gampola (Kandy) grew all the following spices in a low lying area where the river ran through the estate. The area supported a large selection of spices,fruits and nuts. Large quantities were sold locally and I have wonderful memories of eating Mangosteens by the soup plate full. The flavour that is developed in almost anything grown in this island, surrounded as it is by sea, is truly amazing.
