OUR PROMISE
Quality without compromise.
Four quality standards we consistently uphold. So you know what ends up in your kitchen.
Organic quality clearly labelled.
For every organic product you will find the seal, control body and agriculture statement on the label and the product page. Products without organic status are kept separate and clearly designated.
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
What you should know about our spices.
Answers on origin, processing, organic status, quality control and shipping - explained concisely.
All spices come directly from Sri Lanka - from three regions: Jaffna in the north (turmeric, moringa, chili, lemongrass), the central region (black pepper) and the classic Ceylon growing areas (Ceylon cinnamon). We work directly with our smallholder families and local partner cooperatives.
Grinding, packing and labelling take place directly in Sri Lanka - with our partners and in the local packing partner facility. We import ready to ship in paper bags with an aroma-protecting inner liner. In Darmstadt we only store and ship.
We buy directly from the smallholder families of Sri Lanka, organised through local partner cooperatives. Packing takes place in the country of origin, Sri Lanka, not in Europe. Packing at origin keeps the value where the spices grow and makes for a shorter, transparent chain. At MrCOLOMBO there is no anonymous supply chain.
All certified products are grouped under Organic spices. The organic seal, the control body and the agriculture statement on the respective label are decisive. Products without an organic seal are not designated as organic products.
The best-before date is printed on every pack. Unopened, dry and protected from light at room temperature, the aroma keeps longest. After opening, close the bag well and use it up promptly.
Ready to ship on business days within 24 hours from our warehouse in Darmstadt. Shipped by DPD or DHL within Germany. Free shipping from an order value of 30 €.
Single origin means: every spice comes from exactly one defined region and from named smallholder families - never blended with other origins, no artificial fillers. Traditionally and gently ground and sealed in the FSSC 22000-certified packing partner facility in Sri Lanka - that shapes aroma and varietal purity.
