About Spice Chest

One of the Best Spices Seller in the World

The founders of Spice Chest came into their own in vastly different disciplines:
Nilruk in finance, Sethpriya from FMCG marketing background, while Sarindu became a seasoned tea taster, and Harijith an experienced entrepreneur. Years of experience later, these four felt drawn to a more purposeful venture that leveraged their strengths.
The guiding principle of Spice Chest was the opportunity to bring the very best of Sri Lanka to the rest of the world, ethically and sustainably. Sri Lanka’s spices have quietly found themselves the toast of kitchens worldwide, spanning cultures and centuries with many unaware of their origins.

For example, Cinnamon, Sri Lanka’s prize spice, has a deep cultural significance as the methods for its preparation have been passed down over centuries from generation to generation.

Spice Chest’s mission is to honour this heritage while building strong relationships with you, by providing you with only the best, purest Ceylon spices.
