Direct farmer sourcing, high essential oil yields, and operational hubs in Ipswich, UK and Kerala, India.
Malabar Botanicals was founded to solve a clear problem: UK craft gin distillers were creating world-class spirits, yet relying on aged commodity spices from multi-tiered brokers.
With deep roots in Kerala’s high-altitude spice belts of Idukki and Munnar, we established a direct, transparent supply chain—delivering freshly harvested, oil-dense cardamom and black pepper directly to UK copper stills.
Our dual-hub structure gives master distillers local UK convenience combined with estate-level origin control.
Manages UK client relations, custom botanical enquiries, local invoicing, and agile delivery across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Oversees estate-level harvest inspection, 8mm pod size grading, essential oil testing, and direct grower partnerships in Munnar and Idukki.
Batch consistency is paramount for commercial distillers. We test and verify essential oil percentages across every harvest.
Complete laboratory specifications and Certificate of Analysis (CoA) reports are provided upon request.
"We verify oil yield percentages, moisture content, and zero synthetic treatment before any shipment leaves Kerala."
