      Earth + Ember: Wild Ras El-Hanout
      A sacred spice, reimagined.

      105g shaker

      Saltiness Index: 4/10 (moderate)


      The Essence

      Where the spice route meets the forest path. This blend begins with traditional North African warmth, then diverges into boreal wilds with chaga's earthy depth and usnea's alpine astringency. The Oregon grape root—bitter, medicinal—anchors the brightness.

      Composition & Craft

      • Chaga harvested from living birch trees (never deadfall)
      • Usnea gathered only after rainy spells, when active compounds peak
      • Ras el Hanout mortar-ground in small batches
      • Oregon grape root wild-dug with root crown intact

      To Use

      • Rub on lamb or roasted squash before cooking
      • Steep ¼ tsp in hot water with honey (a mineral-rich tonic)
      • The last pinch in your broth pot transforms it

      Why This Price

      The calculus of wild things:

      • Chaga yields 1kg powder per 100kg of mushroom

      • Usnea requires hand-cleaning of forest debris

      • Oregon grape needs 5 years to mature before harvest

      This is not mere spice, but reciprocity—what the land offers only when approached rightly. A shaker of guarded generosity.
