Ujamaa Spice is a purpose-led brand bringing the rich, aromatic, and unapologetically bold spices of East Africa to global kitchens. Based in Tanzania, Ujamaa collaborates with smallholder farmers and cooperatives, championing a direct-trade model that ensures transparency, fair pricing, and reinvestment into farming communities. Their story is one of empowerment, entrepreneurship, and taste—transforming how spices are sourced and shared.
Committed to Flavour
Ujamaa's product range centres around vibrant, whole and ground spices grown in Tanzania’s lush regions. Signature offerings include their sun-dried Whole Black Peppercorns, fragrant Clove Buds, warming Ceylon Cinnamon Quills, and potent Turmeric Powder with bold colour and high curcumin content. Their Cardamom Pods and Ginger Powder also stand out for their freshness and potency, delivering sensory depth in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Each spice is harvested with care, often by hand, and packaged to retain its natural oils and aromas. The result is a premium spice range that not only elevates cooking but also supports regenerative agricultural practices and transparent trade.
Rooted in culture & driven by community
Ujamaa Spice is perfectly positioned to partner with online retailers, DTC food brands, and mission-aligned marketplaces that share a commitment to ethical sourcing, cultural authenticity, and premium food experiences. They’re a natural fit for culinary subscription services, gourmet ingredient platforms, and values-based grocery retailers looking to expand their spice or pantry offerings. Partnerships with food curators, spice education brands, and home-chef-focused content creators would also be mutually enriching.
Ujamaa is looking to form partnerships that not only increase visibility and distribution, but also celebrate provenance and storytelling - working with collaborators who appreciate the human and cultural narratives behind each ingredient. Visit their website for more information
