DiscoverWHO IS MRCOLOMBO?
A personal relationship with our partner families, traditional near-natural cultivation and processing directly in Sri Lanka - single-origin spices with a clear origin, without anonymous middlemen.
Everything starts in the field. Our smallholder families in Jaffna, in the central region and the classic Ceylon growing areas harvest their spices by hand - exactly when the aroma is at its most concentrated. We are on site regularly, know every partner family personally and pay fair prices directly to the families through local partner cooperatives.
Directly after the harvest, the spices are gently dried and taken to our FSSC 22000-certified packing partner facility. There they are cleaned, ground and filled into finished packaging - all still in Sri Lanka. We import only sealed finished products to Darmstadt. Here we store, pick and ship to you the same day.

OUR PROMISE
Four quality standards we consistently uphold. So you know what ends up in your kitchen.
Four of our spices carry the EU organic seal - audited annually by Ecocert Deutschland GmbH (DE-ÖKO-005), from cultivation to packing at origin in Jaffna.
Our packing partner facility in Sri Lanka is FSSC 22000-certified - an internationally recognised standard for food safety across all processing in the country of origin.
No middlemen. We buy directly from our smallholder families in Jaffna and the central region of Sri Lanka - through local partner cooperatives on site.
Every spice from one defined region of Sri Lanka - 100 % single-variety, never blended with other origins.
ORIGIN
From Jaffna in the north to Ratnapura in the south: our spices come from nine confirmed growing regions of Sri Lanka. Each region has its own speciality and its own character.
single-origin varieties
From pepper and Ceylon cinnamon to ube, curry leaves, vanilla and nutmeg - directly from nine confirmed growing regions of Sri Lanka.
Jaffna
Dry climate, mineral-rich soils. This is where our root and leaf spices grow in the highest concentration.
Matale
Matale lies in the central highlands. This is where our cardamom comes from - aromatic and intense.
Kandy
Sri Lanka's central highlands and royal city region. This is where black pepper, nutmeg, vanilla and cloves come from.
Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya is one of the confirmed regions of origin of our vanilla.
Badulla
In the east of the highlands. Altitude and a strong monsoon produce particularly intense pepper aromas.
Wellawaya
Wellawaya is another confirmed growing area of our black pepper.
Kegalle
Kegalle is one of the confirmed regions of origin of our vanilla.
Ratnapura
Classic cinnamon region in the south-west. This is where true Ceylon cinnamon comes from - finely spiced, with a low coumarin content.
Gampaha
Coastal lowland zone north of Colombo. Traditional family businesses peel cinnamon here using a centuries-old method.
Colombo
Sri Lanka's largest container port on the west coast. This is where we load our fully packed spices for the sea voyage to Hamburg.
