Origin Story

Our story begins in Burliyar - a lush agro-forestry plantation tucked in the Nilgiri mountains, Tamil Nadu. The plantation teems with life and is home to a rich mix of spice and fruit trees. Mangosteen, pomelo, grapefruit, pepper vines, cocoa, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and a variety of timber trees crowd the landscape.

In July 2020, we brought that season's mangosteen harvest down the mountain for friends and family in Chennai. They shared it with others, and before long, strangers were reaching out to ask if they could have some too. The rest is history.

  Spice Hill stands for fresh, traceable, and sustainably grown food. Our expanding offerings include single-origin spices, pure honey, natural sweeteners and single estate teas.

We bring these to you through two modes:

1.Produce grown through simple, chemical-free farming practices at our farm in the evergreen Nilgiri mountains, Tamil Nadu. We harvest and hand-process in small batches to maintain quality.

2. Produce sourced directly from practitioners of regenerative farming and tribal groups. In the process, we are building a community of small-holder farmers who are doing amazing work on their lands.
