Delivery

Brought to any hotel on Zanzibar — Stone Town, the north coast or the east coast — within two days of your order.

Wrapped by hand, not pulled off a shelf

Each box is tied in local palm-leaf and twine after you choose your three spices — so what reaches your hotel room reads as a gift from the island, not a bag from a market stall.
