About This Item

Discover the uncommon fragrance of Cloud Forest Green Cardamom, grown in the misty cloud forest areas of Matale, Sri Lanka. This cardamom delivers a pleasing mix of sweet and tangy notes reminiscent of fresh herbs and summer fruit, with every pod holding hints of newly cut grass. We're excited to bring you this offering from a single-estate regenerative farm. The Matale region grows a distinctive green-yellow variety, giving this spice a lively twist on standard Green Cardamom. Growers rely on traditional organic practices, and the vines are picked only once the fruit ripens to yellow, resulting in a softer, sweeter taste.

How We Source Our Cloud Forest Green Cardamom: the pods are dried using hot air to lock in their unique flavor. Expect noticeable hints of ginger, apricot, and fragrant jungle blossoms. This variety pairs well with our Cinnamon or Wild Mountain Cumin. For cooking, use the pods whole so their rich aromatic oils release during preparation - crush them with a mortar and pestle for rice dishes, or add them to braising liquids to deepen the flavor of chicken or beef recipes. This cardamom also works nicely alongside licorice, mint, pine, and bright pomelo flavors.

We also carry a wild-harvested variety from Sri Lanka. This version is especially aromatic, with strong notes of licorice, mint, and forest pine, making it ideal for brewing a robust chai. Because of its intensity, you'll only need about half the amount compared to other cardamom types. This wild food forest estate is managed by the Chacko family, who use natural farming techniques free of pesticides and chemicals.

At Heray Spice, ethical sourcing is central to what we do. Every partnership we form with a farm reflects our dedication to sustainability, fair labor practices, and workers' rights. We take pride in offering spices that taste great while supporting responsible, socially conscious farming. Our specialty pods showcase sustainable agriculture at its finest, delivering premium quality while respecting the environment.
