Dark
$18.00Based on Mayan spices used to flavor the Ka’kau’ (Cacao) bean. On desserts, it is the deep forest surrounding a comforting home. It is the chill night air that we embrace after dinner with a loved one. Dark adds the thrill of unfamiliarity to our most traditional desserts. Add Dark to dishes featuring chocolate – cakes, cookies, sauces, mousse or cocoa. Or, add a rich Mesoamerican flavor to non-chocolate desserts. Sprinkle on cream; add to smoothies, shakes or coffee.
Hand-blended in small batches with Ceylon cinnamon, pure ground vanilla, sweet Chile, black pepper, star anise and mace.
Cinnamon ~ Saigon Cassia
$10.00 – $27.00Saigon Cinnamon (aka Vietnamese Cinnamon) is the strongest and sweetest species of Cinnamon available. Ours is freshly milled from organically grown bark to get the most intense flavor possible.

Vanilla ~ LAFAZA Pure Ground Organic Madagascar Vanilla
$20.00LAFAZA organic vanilla is one of the few items we sell that we don’t process ourselves. We met the founders in 2015 at the Oakland Farmers Market when Local Spicery was just starting out, and from the beginning, we appreciated their approach and commitment to their business ideals:
• to create sustainable, direct supply chains that protect the environment;
• to follow fair trade practices that support farmer livelihoods;
• and to only offer the highest-quality natural products to their customers.
LAFAZA grew out of a Peace Corps connection in Madagascar, and they continue to work directly with village farmers. Certified Organic Vanilla beans are sun-cured and dried to remove nearly all of the moisture in the pod. The beans are then ground to a fine powder and sealed in glass jars, keeping their delicious taste locked inside! Nothing added, nothing lost.
Organic Pure Ground Vanilla makes a convenient and delicious addition to baked goods, spice rubs, coffee, tea, specialty drinks, smoothies, dry mixes, and can be used in many recipes as a substitute for vanilla beans or vanilla extract. Use 1/2 teaspoon of ground vanilla to replace 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Each jar contains 1 ounce of the highest-quality pure ground Madagascar vanilla.

When I lived in Germany Gluehwein (Hot Mulled Wine) was a seasonal favorite at the Christmas Markets. I was surprised and pleased to find this spice. It sure brings back fond memories! Pick a nice red wine as your base. I open the wine, put about a tablespoon of the spice mix in the bottle, then cork it back up for a day. Next put the wine in a glass container, warm it for 30 seconds, then stir in 1/4 of a cup of sugar to 1 1/2 cups of wine. Heat in 30 second increments, and enjoy! A nice cinnamon stick is the perfect garnish if you want to be fancy!
