Three questions worth asking any spice exporter.
Problems with a spice order often begin at sourcing or in the paperwork, long before the container is loaded.
Will the bulk lot match the sample?
A carefully selected sample says little about consistency once an order is larger than a single grower’s harvest.
Are the documents checked before shipping?
A missing phytosanitary detail or an incorrect HS code can hold a container at customs.
Can you speak to someone who knows the product?
A trader can quote a price, but questions about a moisture reading or a grading defect need someone who handles the spice.
We handle sourcing, grading and export documents ourselves, from one warehouse in Medan. Every lot we sell is graded by our own team.
What to expect from a family exporter
Quality checks
We test each lot for moisture when it arrives, grade it, and check it against your specification again before packing.
Direct communication
You deal with the family and the team who source and grade your order, in English or Indonesian, not with a broker.
Long-term growers
We buy from Kerinci smallholders we have worked with for years rather than from the spot market, which helps keep quality consistent between seasons.
Documents you can verify
We list only the certifications and registrations we hold, and we can send copies before you place an order.
