Spice Blends Gift Tin
Our spicy chameleon spice blends gift tin is a delicious gift for any foodie. We've selected six of our spice blends, packaged into individual tins and presented in a rectangular lidded tin for easy storage - no more losing spices at the back of the cupboard! With suggestions included for what to use each blend in, there's no need to wait for inspiration to strike - the kitchen creativity can start right away!
The gift tin contains:
Rich & Spicy
- Inspired by the flavours of tandoori dishes, we've combined fragrant spices to create a richly flavoured, deliciously hot blend. The heat of Chipotle and Kashmiri chillies and layers of slightly smoky, aromatic flavours are given a lift by juicy-tasting green mango. Use in place of a tandoori mix to marinade aubergine, chicken or paneer. Stir through broths for an instant boost of depth and warmth, or add to caramelised onion for a quick sweet, savoury, and spicy burger relish.
Deep & Tangy
- An elegantly spiced blend featuring a host of spices, including cinnamon, cumin, blue fenugreek, smoked paprika, ginger, green cardamom, allspice and black pepper. Anardana - a spice made from ground dried pomegranate - adds both depth and tang, whilst Urfa chilli gives warmth and richness. Use in both savoury and sweet recipes - it's fantastic added to stews and tagine-style dishes, or try using in cakes, brownies and sweet pastries to give a spiced depth and subtle savoury edge.
Aromatic & Complex
- Taking direction from Indian pickling spice mixes, we've used a combination of tiny whole spices and fragrant ground spices to create this bright, highly aromatic blend with floral, fruity and earthy notes alongside tasty heat. Try adding to creamy curries, throw a little into flatbread dough, and stir some through when you're making chutneys.
Piquant & Herby
- With an aroma that brings to mind the fresh green and fruity-sharp flavours of tabbouleh, this blend is fantastic for bringing piquancy to rich dishes - try adding to a cheese sauce to serve with spaghetti, or use generously to marinade lamb chops. Alternatively, use a pinch as a seasoning to lift delicate ingredients such as courgettes or prawns, and experiment with stirring a heaped spoonful through dips.
Warm & Sweet
- Sweet, warming spices balanced with a few that have more savoury flavour profiles create a beautifully fragrant blend that works in both savoury and sweet dishes. If you want to give your food flavour rather than heat, this is the blend for you - use it wherever you want to give a spiced aroma that doesn’t overpower. Add it to the pan when cooking soups, curries, or sauces for richness and depth, or stir through just before serving your dish to give an aromatic boost. The sweet notes in this blend also make it great to use in baking – try it in cakes or in place of cinnamon to make spiced buns.
Herby & Light
- A light, subtly sweet and herbal blend with softly flavoured spices and fruity depth. Numerous herbs combine with the savoury-sweet combination of onion, garlic and fenugreek, whilst smoked paprika and black, white and green pepper give depth. Try using in rice dishes, soups and savoury tarts.

WHY DON'T WE ADD SUGAR OR SALT TO OUR BLENDS?
The spices we skilfully combine give such a flavour boost on their own, so we don't add salt or sugar to our blends. Some spices have an inherent sweetness - combining these makes delicious, sweet-tasting blends. There are a few exceptions, such as our Smoky Maple Rub, in which we use a small amount of maple sugar to offset the flavours of the spices, and our Spiced Coffee Sugar. Other spices we utilise for their deeply savoury qualities. Salt is sometimes used whilst processing sumac berries and in curing chillies such as Urfa and Aleppo, and as such, may be present in small quantities in some of our blends. We also have a small range of flavoured salts, in which we combine natural sea salt or rock salt with delicious herbs and spices.
You may like to add a sprinkle of salt to your food in combination with our finishing blends - we leave the choice up to you!A NOTE ON STORAGE
Spices are best stored in airtight packaging, away from sunlight and heat. To keep our finishing blends as fresh as possible, we pack them into screw-lid tins. Replace the lids after each use, and store away from sunny windowsills and sources of heat, such stovetops. If you forget to replace the lid, the finishing blend may begin to lose aroma. Please note that even if you keep our finishing blends sealed securely, you may notice some clumping - this is because we do not use anti-caking additives. Don't worry if this happens - simply give the blend a stir or use your fingertips to break down any small clumps.
