Your rose petals are organically grown by Parvathi Menon and her wonderful team on a 10 acre farm heaving with an abundance of bananas, limes, avocados and rain-fed turmeric in northern Tamil Nadu. After two years of trial and error, Parvathi finally figured out how to grow the Damask Rose (or Panneer Rose in Tamil), that whilst prized for being incredibly fragrant, is also known to be extremely delicate and very high maintenance, especially when grown regeneratively, without pesticides.

Grown by our beloved Kasaraneni family amidst marigolds, bananas, and black rice on their 3rd generation farm.

She's complex and deep like nice wine, and still got a nice fruity heat in the back. Grown on the Parameswaran family farm, where Parameswaran and his son Akash have been naturally farming pepper for over 35 years, amidst passion fruit, tigers (no, really!), and the largest collection of bamboo and palm varieties in the region! Their Aranya pepper is vine ripened, hand harvested with utmost care to ensure maximum flavor and unreasonably tastiness.

Proudly grown by a cooperative of farmers in Sirārakhong and sourced for us by our friends Zeinorin & Alan of Hillwild. Legend has it that the villagers' ancestors found these exquisitely long, vibrant chillies growing in the wild on a hunting trip that they then brought home and have made a part of their daily cuisine ever since. Many nearby villages have tried to grow the Sirārakhong Hāthei chillies, but something about the terroir of Sirarakhong produces the very best of the best!

Grown on the Mehra family farm, this is an indigenous variety of mustard that produces tiny dotty seeds that pack a super high oil content, which means they're bursting with flavor and pungency.

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.
