Who we source from
Diaspora Co. Spices was started with a bold vision: to transform the spice trade by investing in the best regenerative farms across South Asia, paying farmers 3 to 5 times the typical commodity price they’d receive. They’re all about bringing wildly flavorful, incredibly fresh spices into kitchens everywhere. As a queer, woman of color-owned and led business, Diaspora Co. isn’t just about amazing heirloom spices — it’s about building something by and for their community. They’re redefining what "Made in South Asia" stands for and sharing stories of freedom, resilience, and diaspora through the love of food.
About this Product
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. In this masala, you'll encounter Iniya Cardamom from Tamil Nadu; Aranya Pepper from Kerala; Makhir Ginger from Meghalaya; Lucknowi Fennel from Uttar Pradesh; and Kandyan Cloves and Peni Miris Cinnamon from Kandy, Sri Lanka. It's the result of over a million WhatsApp messages and voice notes, over 20 sourcing visits, and thousands of humans’ dedication across three continents all blended and poured into our dreamiest, spiciest cup of chai. Ingredients: Baraka Cardamom, Makhir Ginger, Hariyali Fennel, Peni Miris Cinnamon, Aranya Black Pepper, Kandyan Cloves Caffeine-free: contains no black tea.
