About Panasva

We are the farmers, not just the brand

Born on the cardamom hills of Kerala. Responsibly cultivated, hand-picked, scientifically processed and hygienically packed.

The short version

One district, one estate, one grade

Most cardamom passes through an auction, a trader and a packer. Ours does not: every pod is grown, picked, cured, graded and sealed on our own slopes near Chathurangapara.

It is printed on the tin: we grow, we clean, we pack.

Where Spring Valley Plantations, Chathurangapara, Idukki, in Kerala's Western Ghats.
What we grow Green cardamom and black pepper. This site sells cardamom only.
Who runs it A husband-and-wife team, with agricultural scientists and farmers who have worked these slopes for generations.

Where the cardamom actually grows

Mist and forest shade let each pod mature slowly and hold its oils.
