A good clove should be whole and unbroken, dark and heavy with essential oil, with a head that hasn't crumbled away. Ours are Ceylon-quality cloves from Sri Lanka, graded at over 95% intact heads — USDA-certified organic, hand-sorted, and packed in small batches so the aroma you open is the aroma the harvest had.
Whole cloves vs. ground — which should I buy?
Whole, almost always. Cloves lose aroma quickly once ground; whole buds stay potent for 2+ years stored airtight, and you can grind fresh in seconds.
How many cloves do recipes need?
A little goes far — 3–5 buds flavor a pot of chai or pho; 6–8 stud a holiday ham. A 4 oz jar holds hundreds of buds.
Do you sell bulk?
Yes — larger sizes for bakers, chai brewers and food businesses are on the product page, at better per-ounce prices.
Do you charge for shipping?
No — shipping is FREE on every order, with no minimum. The price you see is the price you pay.
How should I store them?
Airtight jar, cool and dark. Whole cloves keep their punch for years — you'll smell it every time you open the lid.
