From the moment you arrive, you'll be carried away by the enthusiastic passion of the dedicated producer! You'll learn everything about the spice industry and production countries, the characteristics of each variety, spice families, and production processes.
You'll be able to touch, break, smell, and taste each spice to better understand their subtleties. And to fully appreciate their aromatic palette, you'll prepare a spice infusion that you can enjoy hot, warm, or cold.

Meet Sandrine
Spice maker
Born into a family passionate about gastronomy and travel, Sandrine began her career in finance before setting off to explore the Congo, where she fell in love with Kivu pepper.
Since then, she has been constantly traveling the world in search of rare and exceptional spices, which she produces and markets with passion and commitment.
Her production network in the Congo guarantees impeccable quality and traceability for spices such as cinnamon, cumin, coriander, vanilla, pepper, and of course the famous Kivu pepper.
But the passionate artisan doesn't stop there: Sandrine also offers origin spices and specialties from other producers and regions around the world.
In November 2021, she took the leap and opened her shop in the heart of Brussels, becoming an Ali Baba's cave of spices for foodies and cooking enthusiasts.
Through her love for spices, Sandrine aims to awaken consciousness and taste buds by sharing her expertise on spice production, drying, and usage in cooking.
Her captivating personality and unique experience will transport you on an exceptional sensorial journey.
