Founded in 2024 by Rupert and Alice, Spice Department is changing the spice industry for good. A compendium of the freshest, single-origin spices, sourced for quality, with a commitment to shortening the journey between farm and fork.
FROM FARM TO FORK IN MONTHS, NOT YEARS
IF SPICES ARE THE SOUL OF EVERY DISH, SEASON WITH THE FINEST.
Not all spices are created equally. The unfortunate truth: most spices are three years old before reaching your plate, losing the vibrant flavour every home chef deserves.
TRANSFORMED TRACEABILITY. SUPERCHARGED SUSTAINABILITY
Sourced from the best growing regions in India and Sri Lanka, our peak-harvested, single-origin spices are available in twelve signature tins with convenient refillable pouches. This offers a sustainable approach to cooking that ensures an unparalleled culinary experience.

*Single origin is an undefined term and many use it as marketing speak rather than a sourcing practise. Some will use it to mean sourced in a single-country or area, for us, it means sourced from a farming group that we know and have visited.
