Chapter 01 · The Estate

Grown on one slope of the Western Ghats.

In 1960 our family planted cardamom on a slope above Kumily. In 1984 we shipped the first pods to the Gulf. The estate hasn’t moved since.

Cool highland nights, monsoon air and mineral soil at 4,300 feet give our green cardamom its oil and its aroma. Eighty percent of every harvest leaves the country in our cartons; the rest supplies the wholesale market in Kerala — all of it traceable to its plantation block.
