⸺ The Queen of Spices

Cardamom

Three grades. One uncompromising origin. Hand-graded in the misted highlands of Alta Verapaz.

⸺ Origin Note

Guatemala — the world's largest exporter of green cardamom.

Introduced from the Malabar Coast a century ago, cardamom found in the volcanic, rain-fed slopes of Alta Verapaz a second home of remarkable expression.

Our farms sit between 1,200 and 1,500 meters under shade canopy. The harvest is patient — pods are picked individually, dried slowly, and graded under daylight by experienced sorters.

⸺ From the Plant

Born in the misted highlands.

Cardamom thrives under the shade canopy of Alta Verapaz, where volcanic soil, steady rain and cool mountain air shape pods of unmistakable depth and aroma. Every grade we ship begins here, at the base of the plant.
