Chapter 01 · The Source

Rooted in Kattapana — India’s premier cardamom district.

Kattapana sits at the southern edge of Idukki district, where the Western Ghats rise sharply and the air carries cardamom all year long. This is where Alham Spices is rooted.

Idukki accounts for the majority of India’s green cardamom output, and Kattapana is its heartland. The elevation, rainfall pattern and mineral-rich soil here produce pods with the dense aroma and bright colour that export markets pay a premium for. Every lot is FSSAI-certified, graded to buyer specification, and dispatched with full traceability to its origin in the Idukki highlands.
