Do you carry green cardamom pods?

A real customer question, curated into a useful guide for cooking, product use, and finding just the right thing.

Yes! Our Green Cardamom Pods are wildcrafted and wonderfully fragrant, perfect for chai, rice dishes, or grinding fresh into baked goods.

A few ways to explore cardamom further:

  • If you want the bolder, smoky cousin, try Black Cardamom 1 oz (Ilaichi, Kali Elaichi).
  • For a ready-to-brew blend that uses both green and black cardamom alongside warming spices, our Spicy Mountain Chai is a favorite.
  • Want cardamom's floral warmth without the raw pods? Rose Cinnamon Tea blends it with cinnamon and rose petals for a lovely cup.
