Tasting Notes
Certifications
Storage
Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight. Best consumed within 12 months of opening. The deep color and high curcumin content begin to diminish after extended exposure to light and heat.
GI Certificate
Lakadong Turmeric holds an official Geographical Indication (GI) tag from the Government of India (2015), certifying its exclusive origin from the Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya.
The Jaintia Hills
of Meghalaya.
Nestled in the northeastern corner of India, the Jaintia Hills receive some of the highest rainfall in the world. The specific combination of altitude (1,200–1,500m), red laterite soil, and monsoon-fed irrigation creates conditions that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
Amā (अमा) works directly with three farming cooperatives in Amlarem and Jowai blocks. Our sourcing team visits each harvest season to ensure quality and fair compensation.

Absolutely the best turmeric I've ever used
The color alone tells you this is something special - deep orange-gold, unlike anything from the supermarket. The aroma is warm and earthy. I use it in golden milk every morning and the difference is remarkable.

Worth every rupee
I've bought spices from supermarkets my whole life and never thought much about where they came from. This changed that completely. Knowing the exact farm, the GI certification, the harvest season - you taste the difference. Highly recommend to anyone serious about cooking or wellness.

Exceptional quality, fast delivery
Packaging was beautiful and the product itself is outstanding. The flavour profile is complex - peppery and slightly bitter in the best way. Docking one star only because I wish the bag were resealable.
