Back to the roots. Do you remember our beloved Spice Mobile and the start of our @1001organic retail brand in 2018? Since 2018 we have opened two organic spice concept stores in Zanzibar Stone Town and have retired our Spice Mobile. At least partly: You will still find this beauty in front of the one and only #emersonspice hotel @emersonzanzibar . #buylocal #buyorganic #supportyourlocalfarmer #farmersmarkets #organicspices #organiczanzibar #zanzibarspices #organiczanzibarspices #emersononhurumzi #michelinstarchef #mondeselection #gaultmillau #spicetourzanzibar #stonetowntour #zanzibarstonetown #zanzibarisland #zanzibarholiday #spiceshop #ethicallysourced #fairtradespices #singleoriginspices #zanzibarsouvenir #zanzibarcuisine #madeinzanzibar #socialenterprise #socialimpact #1001organicspicery #1001organic

Our social enterprise embraces the #EU ‘s request for more value-addition at the origin. Why? It is one of our core strategies to reduce poverty in East Africa, empower our smallholder cooperatives and build sustainable local companies. • • • #afripreneur #agripreneurs #socialenterprise #socialimpact #impactinvesting #internationaltradecenter #itc #zanzibarspicetour #zanzibarspices #organic #spices #organicspices #nutmeg #bio #organicafrica #birdseyechilli #distillery #pharmaceutical #chaitea #organictea #singleorigin #farmtofork #gourmetfoods #zanzibar #stonetown #howwemadeitinafrica #1001organicspicery #spiceshop #1001organic

We can’t express enough how much we love the work with our farmer cooperatives and their unique and beautiful organic spices. The real social impact happens on farmer level at the origin, which is why @1001organic strongly believes in short, transparent and fair supply chains. #socialimpact #socialenterprise #zanzibarspices #organic #spices #organicspices #nutmeg #organicnutmec #bio #mace #birdseyechilli #distillery #pharmaceutical #kretek #chaitea #dentist #gourmetfood #organictea #regenerativeagriculture #singleorigin #socialenterprise #impactinvesting #farmtofork #gourmetfoods #zanzibar #stonetown #glühwein #mulledwine #1001organicspicery #spiceshop #1001organic

Karibu (you are welcome) to our organic spice coops. This is how we remove the outer bark from our organic Zanzibar cinnamon. And to answer our visitor’s question: this branch is about 2.5 years old. We never cut down the whole tree but harvest every few months some branches which is more sustainable. After removing the outer bark, we separate the actual cinnamon layer from the wooden core of the branch and dry it carefully under the tropical sun. Beautiful, isn’t it? 🌱🌱🌱 #knowyourfarmer #tukopamoja #organicfarming #cinnamon #sustainableagriculture #regenerativeagriculture #farmlife #organiccinnamon #organiccloves #pembacloves #expertfarmer #farmlife #farmerlife #organicspices #singleorigin #fairtrade #slowfood #ethicallysourced #zanzibarspices #zanzibar #visualstorytelling #spicetrade #spicefarm #1001organicspicery #1001organic #proudlyzanzibari

Organic & EU-certified Zanzibar spices are not only incredible flavorful but mean a lot of internal documentation too. Martin is our star behind the laptop and helps us to keep the spice sourcing organized and the external German auditors happy.

Traceability goes both ways. We maintain perfect traceability of our organic certified spices to our customers and can track back each bag to the farmer and his/her forest parcel. At the same time, Mr. Shaib, one of our pepper farmers, has met most of our customers, is aware of market prices, quality requirements and of course always keen to share his inputs on the packaging of our @mondeselection GOLD AWARD winning black pepper. #knowyourfarmer #knowyourcustomer #traceability #singleoriginspices #fairtradespices #socialenterprise #supermarketzanzibar #spiceshopzanzibar #zanzibarspices #zanzibarspicetour #zanzibar #1001organicspicery #1001organic
