OUR PROMISE
Quality without compromise.
Four quality standards we consistently uphold. So you know what ends up in your kitchen.
Organic quality clearly labelled.
Every organic product shows you the control body and agriculture statement on the label and the product page. This keeps certification and origin traceable down to the individual variety.
FSSC 22000-certified packing.
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.
Direct from our smallholder families.
No middlemen. We buy directly from our smallholder families in Jaffna and the central region of Sri Lanka - through local partner cooperatives on site.
Single origin.
Every spice from one defined region of Sri Lanka - 100 % single-variety, never blended with other origins.
FROM SRI LANKA TO YOU
From Sri Lanka into your home.
We know each of our partner families personally. That is how a real harvest keeps its real quality - right until the spice is in your kitchen.
Everything starts in the field. Our smallholder families in Jaffna, 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 the hands behind every harvest 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.

Frequently asked questions
Organic certification at MrCOLOMBO.
Clarity on EU organic status, DE-ÖKO-005, cultivation and how the organic range differs from single-origin varieties.
In this category you will find our immediately available organic classics, organic golden milk and announced organic novelties from Sri Lanka. Products that are coming soon are clearly marked and not yet orderable. The seal, control body and agriculture statement on the respective label are decisive for the organic status.
DE-ÖKO-005 is the control body number of Ecocert Deutschland GmbH. Depending on the product, the label may additionally or alternatively show the control body of the producer or processor in Sri Lanka. The information on the respective product label is always decisive.
The organic seal, control body and agriculture statement are shown on every product page and the associated label. We communicate product- and batch-related evidence only when it is available for the goods in question.
Organic certification is a documented and regularly inspected process. Products without an organic seal may also come from Sri Lanka and meet our quality requirements, but may not be designated as organic products. That is why we keep organic and non-organic products transparently separate.
Processing differs from spice to spice: products may be offered whole, cut, dried or ground. The specific processing is stated transparently in the ingredient and product information of each variety.
Our organic spices come from Sri Lanka. The specific origin and growing region can be found on the respective product page and label. This keeps origin and organic labelling clearly traceable, even for new varieties.
Our organic classics are packed in Sri Lanka in paper bags with an aroma-protecting inner liner. The paper outer layer is recyclable; the inner liner protects aroma and freshness.
