A first attempt at doro wat for a Sunday table. A batch of kitfo that needs the right heat. A pantry in Cape Town running low on shiro powder mid-week. These are the moments this page is built around, and each one points to a different way of using the blends, pouch sizes and recipe cards we send out.
Most orders leave with a recipe card tucked in, and the notes that come back tend to mention the same things: how the berbere smells when it hits warm niter kibbeh, whether the mitmita was fine enough for kitfo, and how the batch note on harvest month matched what arrived.

"I ordered the 250g berbere and the mitmita together. The grind on the mitmita is genuinely fine, so it coats the kitfo instead of sitting in clumps. The batch note said April harvest, sun-dried, and that is exactly how it tastes."
"The starter bundle was my way in. I had never cooked doro wat before and the recipe card walked me through the niter kibbeh step properly. Two months later I am on my third 500g pouch of berbere."
"Shiro powder and whole korarima in one order, resealable pouches that actually keep the aroma in. I cook misir wot most weeks and the grind coarseness has stayed consistent across batches."
Most people land here after a recipe: doro wat for a Sunday, misir wot on a weeknight, kitfo when friends come over. Pick the blend that matches the pot, choose your heat level, and we grind it to order before it goes into the courier bag. Batch notes on harvest month and grind coarseness travel with every pouch, so the second order tastes like the first.
