Premium Green Cardamom from the Western Ghats

Product Description

Coorg Cardamom is a prized spice grown in the misty hills of the Western Ghats, where the cool climate, rich forest soil, and abundant rainfall create ideal conditions for cultivating aromatic spices.

Sourced from smallholder farmers across Coorg (Kodagu), these cardamom pods are carefully harvested at the right stage of maturity and naturally dried to preserve their vibrant green colour, essential oils, and intense aroma.

Known as the “Queen of Spices”, cardamom from this region is valued for its bold fragrance, sweet warmth, and refreshing flavour.

Grown under the shade of native forest trees alongside coffee plantations, Coorg Cardamom reflects the unique ecosystem of the Western Ghats and the traditional farming practices passed down through generations.

Every batch represents the rich spice heritage of Coorg and the dedication of farmers who cultivate these crops sustainably.
