The Starting Four

Four essentials. One obsession. This is where your single origin journey begins. We've hand-picked four of our most beloved products, each one a perfect introduction to what separates real spices from the rest. All four come from Vietnam, sourced directly from small-scale farmers who treat their craft with the same respect you bring to your kitchen. What's inside: Vinh Linh Black Pepper — 40g A hidden gem from one of Vietnam's most storied pepper regions. Smaller corns, intense flavour and explosive heat. Cultivated for over 300 years, once reserved for royalty. Grind it fresh over everything. Use for: finishing dishes, pasta, grilled meats, eggs, cheese. Quảng Nam Cinnamon — 25g Sourced at 1,500m altitude in the highlands of central Vietnam. The bark takes 10 years to mature before harvest and you can taste it. Deeper, richer and more complex than anything you've had before. Use for: porridge, baking, coffee, tagines, warm drinks, roasted root vegetables. Phu Quoc Pepper Salt — 40g The Pham family's signature blend from the island of Phu Quoc: black pepper, toasted sand-grown garlic and Vietnamese coarse sea salt. Simple, versatile and deeply umami. Use for: finishing grilled fish, seafood, fried eggs, avocado, roasted vegetables, dipping sauces. Phu Quoc Chili Salt — 36g The Pham family's other masterpiece. Toasted homegrown chili, sand-grown garlic and sea salt — all slightly fermented and sun-dried. A little heat, a lot of character. Use for: stir-fries, grilled chicken, noodles, dipping, anything that needs a salty kick with depth. Sourced directly. Packed with purpose. Celebrating 10 years of The Pepper Quest.
