Spice Collection

One ingredient. Nothing added.

The whole-spice library. Every spice gets its own profile — where it comes from, what it smells and tastes like, what it pairs with, and exactly how to use it. No fillers, no mystery “natural flavors.”

Whole spices, nothing else.

Eight spices. Real origin, real technique, real flavor. That's the whole list.

Cinnamon — Dried inner bark

Dried inner bark

Cinnamon

Cinnamomum verum · cassia

Dried flower buds

Cloves

Syzygium aromaticum

Seeds

Coriander

Coriandrum sativum

The round, tan seeds of the cilantro plant. Bright and citrusy where cumin is dark — they balance each other in almost every curry blend, and have seasoned food since at least 1550 BCE.

Bay Leaf — Dried leaves

Dried leaves

Bay Leaf

Laurus nobilis · tej patta

A single leaf that works slowly, infusing a whole pot over time. Subtle on its own — unmistakable when it's missing — and native to the Mediterranean, where it has flavored food for thousands of years.

Nutmeg — Seed

Seed

Nutmeg

Myristica fragrans

A hard, egg-shaped seed grated fresh over both sweet and savory dishes. Warm and quietly powerful, native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia — the Spice Islands — and among the earliest spices ever traded.

Mace — Aril (seed covering)

Aril (seed covering)

Mace

Myristica fragrans

The lacy, deep-red covering of the nutmeg seed, dried into golden blades. Like nutmeg's more refined, gentler sibling — from the same fruit, but rarer, since each yields far less mace than nutmeg.
