About Us
Kaskazi is the ancient “North Wind” in Kiswahili, which were monsoon winds that facilitated the spice trade between East Africa and the rest of the world.
Kaskazi Back to Nature is that north wind that now brings responsibly sourced products from small scale farmers in East Africa to the UK and Europe.
We have partnered with businesses based in Tanzania and Zanzibar who share the same values as us including ensuring fair prices are paid to the local farmers and some of their profits are returned to the community to provide development, education and certification.
Our Shop
We currently hold a range of products, which include Infusion and Green Teas, Superfoods with an emphasis on health and wellness and Spices from the exotic islands of Zanzibar and Pemba. Our Flagship Store is located in the beautiful and historic city of Bath, United Kingdom. As they say in Swahili, Karibu Sana, which means Welcome.
Teas
Our range of infusions and green teas are responsibly sourced from small scale and community farmers around Mt. Kilimanjaro and the Usamabara mountains in Tanzania. Blended with exotic spices and herbs from Tanzania our tea makes for a perfect, relaxing cup any time of day
Superfoods
With an emphasis on health and wellness, Dhow Nature products are responsibly and ethically sourced from the rainforests of Zanzibar and Tanzania. From ready-to-mix Turmeric Lattes with anti-inflammatory properties to Baobab and Moringa powders which have high vitamin and antioxidant contents, Dhow Nature products are prepared completely naturally without the addition of fillers and additives.
Spices
Our spices are grown in the tropical rainforests of the exotic islands of Zanzibar and Pemba where local communities and small scale farmers are encouraged to preserve the natural rainforests and farm responsibly. This has been successfully achieved by providing them with education, certification and development support, as well as ensuring fair prices are paid for their efforts. 1001 Organic spices are non genetically modified, produced to the strictest European Organic Certification Standards.
Zalt
Zalt was born out of many things; friendship, determination and enthusiasm, but most importantly, out of purpose. Our 3 co-founders spent many days and nights, sitting together, exploring the idea of how Zalt could and would become a reality. They realised early on in this process that if they were to pursue Zalt, they would want it to have a purpose. That purpose was to build the salt industry in Zanzibar and to change the lives of its existing salt farmers.
