We represent our principal under agreement who are leaders and commited to organic agriculture in Bangalore India.
There is a group of about 100 farmers covering thousand accres growing Best grades of coffee, spices, medicinal, aromatic and dye plant herbs. The plantations are located on the slopes of Western ghats of India, a region blessed with anincredible bio diversity and among the most fertile of the soils in the world. For instance although the region covers only 5% of the country's area, it is home tonearly 4000 of the higher species of plants which is 27% of the total of 15000 plant species found in India.
The spice plants are actually intercrops in coffee plantation situated around 1000 to 1200 metres above sea level. These are veritable forests with a three-tier canopy. Thus the spices that our farmers grow are shade grown and bird friendly. The environment is completely pollution free.
The spices crops are selectively hand picked, sorted and then sun dried in a cool environment to preserve their natural taste. The produce then undergoes suitable post harvest processing in a dry climate before being ready for despatch.
All the spices conform to high quality standards. (please ask for specification sheets) For example the peppercorns undergo steam sterilization process. The cardamom is dried at very low temperatures to preserve the greenness. Pepper can also be supplied in dehydrated form by subjecting the fresh produce to a special process of dehydration.
All plantations are certified organic by SKAL Inernational of the Netherlands (Licence No.025099) for conformity with EU regulation No. EU 2092/91, NOP of USDA, and NSOP India.
