Who you are buying from

A specialty origin, run like a trading desk.

Guatemala and India lead the world cardamom market; Indonesia is a smaller, specialty-scale origin rather than a dominant producer. We do not compete on volume — we compete on consistency, honest grading, and documentation that clears customs and QA without surprises.

[PLACEHOLDER: 1–2 sentences on company story — e.g. founded in {year} by a team with roots in the {region} highlands, working directly with smallholder growers.]

We buy from highland smallholder farms, sort and dry to a defined moisture window, and test each lot before it ships — so the sample you approve is the cargo you receive.

  • Direct grower relationships — no anonymous middlemen
  • Certificate of Analysis with every export lot
  • Pre-shipment samples matched to your written spec
  • Documentation ready for EU / US food-safety intake

The product

Two cardamoms, documented separately.

Green cardamom is the higher-value pod most buyers mean by “cardamom.” We also handle black (brown) cardamom, a different species with its own uses. Specs below are drafted from trade norms — confirm final figures on the COA for your lot.
