Founded in 2024 by Rupert and Alice, Spice Department is changing the spice industry for good. A compendium of the freshest, single-origin spices, sourced for quality, with a commitment to shortening the journey between farm and fork.
FROM FARM TO FORK IN MONTHS, NOT YEARS
IF SPICES ARE THE SOUL OF EVERY DISH, SEASON WITH THE FINEST.
Not all spices are created equally. The unfortunate truth: most spices are three years old before reaching your plate, losing the vibrant flavour every home chef deserves.
TRANSFORMED TRACEABILITY. SUPERCHARGED SUSTAINABILITY
Sourced from the best growing regions in India and Sri Lanka, our peak-harvested, single-origin spices are available in twelve signature tins with convenient refillable pouches. This offers a sustainable approach to cooking that ensures an unparalleled culinary experience.

*Single origin is an undefined term and many use it as marketing speak rather than a sourcing practise. Some will use it to mean sourced in a single-country or area, for us, it means sourced from a farming group that we know and have visited.
“For the first time I can use the recommended spice measurements from recipes rather than increase to compensate for old bland products.”
Charlie
“The product really lives up to it's promise. They really are elevated spices. They taste so much better than supermarket choices which therefore make them good value in my mind.”
Jennie
“I've been a chef for over 40+ years and it's refreshing to see a business build its concept about responsibly & thoughtfully sourcing, then delivering the best quality and freshest spices for the home market. That's something I want to support.”
Alan
“These spices are the best I have ever bought, the taste is incredible the aroma are in another league and the little tins are cute. When i have used all the spices i will be going back for more.”
