Provenance
From the valley that invented saffron
The Pampore region of Kashmir — known for centuries as the “Saffron Town” — sits at nearly 1,600 metres above sea level. Its unique combination of clay loam soil, cold winters, and dry summers creates conditions no other region in the world can replicate.
Harvest happens for just two or three weeks each autumn. Farmers wake before sunrise to hand-pick the Crocus sativusflowers while they're still closed, then carefully remove the three crimson stigmas — the saffron threads — by hand.

How to use
Three ways to use your saffron — starting tonight
Golden Rice & Biryanis
Add 5–6 threads to 2 tablespoons of warm (not boiling) water. Let bloom for 10 minutes. Stir into rice before the final steam — color transfers fully.
Saffron Milk (Kesar Doodh)
Warm one cup of whole milk. Add 4–5 threads and a pinch of cardamom. Sweeten with honey. Drink before bed for warmth, calm, and centuries of tradition.
Pastries, Ice Cream & Cocktails
Bloom in cream before making panna cotta, custard, or saffron-infused simple syrup for cocktails and mocktails. Saffron belongs in your desserts as much as your mains.
