An aromatic homage to the trade winds across the Indian Ocean, our golden Swahili Coast Curry is descended from thousands of years of culinary exchange. The spices in this Origin Blend are grown in an agroforestry system and then dried, ground and blended by our partner cooperative. We source our Curry blend from a cooperative of smallholder farmers on the Zanzibar islands off of the eastern coast of Tanzania. Many of these same families have been growing pepper and other spices for generations.

Burlap & Barrel is a Public Benefit Corporation building new international spice supply chains that are equitable, transparent and traceable. We’re working to build an equitable food system—one that values skilled farmers and ends exploitation. We source our spices directly from small farms and cooperatives, building long-term relationships that improve quality and increase farmers’ earnings. By skipping brokers, we keep the supply chain short and transparent.
Most conversations about food sustainability focus on the environment or animal welfare—but often overlook the people behind our food. We believe true sustainability must also account for the livelihoods of the farmers who power global food systems. By sourcing single origin ingredients, we highlight the unique places they come from—and the skilled farmers who grow them with care and intention.
