Single origin from Jaffna
Moringa Powder from Sri Lanka - single origin from Jaffna.
Moringa leaf powder is only as good as its drying. The leaf of Moringa oleifera - called Murunga in Sri Lanka, the miracle tree elsewhere - loses its colour and aroma when exposed to heat. Ours is dried gently below 40 °C and therefore stays vibrant green. It grows on the moringa-only fields of our smallholder families in Jaffna, in the north of Sri Lanka - single origin and EU organic certified under DE-ÖKO-005.
Origin
Harvested by the women of our partner families.
In Jaffna, the northernmost district of Sri Lanka, the moringa tree grows on our partner families' own, pure fields. The leaves are picked by hand at optimum ripeness - traditionally by the women of the family - and carefully washed. No mixing with produce of other origin, no middlemen.
Harvest & processing
Dried below 40 °C.
The leaves are dried below 40 °C and then mechanically ground into a fine powder.

How to use
Green in your smoothie, in water, in dough.
Moringa can be used cold or warm: 1 tsp in a green smoothie with banana and apple, ½ tsp in lukewarm water with lemon and honey, 1-2 tsp stirred into sauces or soups after cooking, or 1 tbsp in the dough for green pancakes and energy balls. Tip: moringa tastes mild but colours a strong green - so use it sparingly.
OUR PROMISE
Quality without compromise.
Four quality standards we consistently uphold. So you know what ends up in your kitchen.
EU organic certified.
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.
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 our smallholder families in Jaffna and the central region of Sri Lanka 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.

Answers on shipping, organic status, quality control and the direct supply chain from Sri Lanka.
Direct import from Sri Lanka without intermediaries. We buy from our smallholder families in Jaffna and the central region - through local partner cooperatives on site. Packing takes place in the country of origin in an FSSC 22000-certified partner facility. That keeps the supply chain short and traceable - from the field in Sri Lanka to the jar in Germany.
Shipped on business days within 24 h from the Darmstadt warehouse. Delivery is by DPD or DHL depending on capacity. Delivery time Germany: 2-4 business days.
Currently four classics carry the EU organic seal - inspected by Ecocert Deutschland GmbH (DE-ÖKO-005): organic turmeric powder, organic moringa powder, organic lemongrass cut and organic lemongrass powder. Single-origin varieties without the organic label also meet our quality standard: single-variety by growing region, FSSC 22000-certified packing at origin.
Gently and without chemicals: drying is done the classic way in the sun in Sri Lanka, grinding is purely mechanical - so essential oils and the natural aroma are preserved.
The best-before date is on the back of every bag. Stored cool, dry and protected from light, the spices keep their aroma best - ideally tightly closed.
Entirely in Sri Lanka - directly at origin in paper bags with an aroma-protecting inner liner. In Germany only storage in Darmstadt and shipping take place. This short value chain is the core of our direct-trade model.
