About Ceylon Spices

Our Story: From the Spice Gardens of Sri Lanka to Your Kitchen

Welcome to Ceylon Spices, where every jar tells a story of tradition, quality, and the rich heritage of Sri Lankan spice cultivation. Our journey began with a simple mission: to bring the authentic flavors of Ceylon directly to spice enthusiasts around the world.

The Ceylon Difference

Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, has been called the "Spice Island" for over 2,000 years. Our tropical climate, fertile soil, and time-honored cultivation methods create spices with unmatched flavor profiles and aromatic qualities that simply cannot be replicated elsewhere.

What Makes Our Spices Special

True Ceylon Cinnamon: Unlike the common cassia sold in most stores, our Ceylon cinnamon offers a delicate, sweet flavor with subtle citrus notes. Known as "true cinnamon," it's harvested from the inner bark of young cinnamon trees in Sri Lanka's central highlands.

Premium Black Pepper: Our black pepper comes from the ancient spice gardens of Sri Lanka, where peppercorns are hand-picked at the perfect moment of ripeness, delivering a complex heat with floral undertones.

Golden Turmeric: Sourced from organic farms in the southern provinces, our turmeric boasts a vibrant golden color and earthy, slightly bitter taste that's perfect for both culinary and wellness applications.

Authentic Spice Blends: Our traditional curry powders and spice blends follow recipes passed down through generations, capturing the true essence of Sri Lankan cuisine.

Our Commitment to Quality

Meet Our Team

Founder & CEO

Our founder grew up in the spice-growing regions of Sri Lanka, where the art of spice cultivation was a family tradition. After moving to the United States, they noticed the stark difference between authentic Ceylon spices and what was available in local stores. This inspired the creation of Ceylon Spices – a bridge between the ancient spice traditions of Sri Lanka and modern kitchens worldwide.

Our Sri Lankan Partners

We work with over 25 family-owned spice farms across Sri Lanka, from the cinnamon estates of Matale to the pepper gardens of Kandy. These multi-generational partnerships ensure authenticity and support local communities.
