Grown and foraged for us by our friends at Eko Land, a community of organic farmers from the heart of Sri Lanka, these wild cinnamon quills are harvested from spicy or "miris" old growth trees. Gently hand crushing a quill into your cooking can turn a simple pot of rice into an aromatic experience and bring just about any stew or curry to life. And since cinnamon loses it volatile oils and flavor compounds so quickly, using quills ensures that you're getting the freshest and most potent cinnamon there is!

We're so proud to be partnering with the Agariya community, a tribe that has been working in the salt district of Gujarat, India for generations, to bring you this solar-powered, earth-filtered, and hand-pounded salt. Using solar pumps provided by our local NGO partners, the Agariyas harvest this bright, inland salt from the desert’s underground water table. The salt’s high-mineral content is preserved through a slow-filtration process through the desert soil.

This tadka spoon is designed in partnership with Tiipoi — a London based design studio with a workshop in Bangalore, and founded in 2013 by Spandana Gopal . Tiipoi believes that there is more to Indian design than just sticking an elephant on it, and that Indian craft has more to offer than simply repeating the past. Stepping away from nostalgia, Tiipoi focuses instead on artistry and design. They choose to use materials that can be recycled easily in one piece, which is why your Tadka Spoon is made completely out of iron.

Growing up, all our family's best textiles came from Sunita Aunty , my mum's favorite client, and one of the handful of amazing women that raised me. I grew up on the construction sites of the Synergy Lifestyles office and factory - spending school holidays, and many after school afternoons painting walls, "helping" to mix cement, digging through fabric samples and eating too many cookies in the conference room whilst my mum's attention was elsewhere. Watching these two powerful, independent women work together has been a driving force throughout my life.
