Kerala Stingless Bee Honey, known locally as Cheruthen, is produced by the native stingless bee Tetragonula iridipennis. It is thinner than regular honey, naturally tangy, and has been a staple in traditional Kerala medicine for generations. It is one of the rarest and most prized honeys in India.

Tellicherry is the finest grade of Malabar black pepper, named after the historic port city of Thalasseri in northern Kerala. Only the largest, most mature peppercorns measuring 4.25mm or above qualify for this grade. The result is a pepper with bold aroma, citrus notes, and a warmth that is rounded rather than sharp.

Our spices come from three main regions in Kerala. Wayanad, known for cardamom, turmeric, pepper, and allspice. Idukki, known for cloves and cocoa. And the Malabar Coast, home to our Tellicherry black pepper. Each region brings a distinct character to the spices grown there.

Seeds and Hands sources spices directly from farming families across Kerala's key spice-growing regions, primarily Wayanad, Idukki, and the Malabar Coast. We also source Assam tea from gardens in the Brahmaputra Valley. Every product is traceable to its origin.

It has been used in traditional Kerala households for generations, primarily for skincare and wellness.
