THE IDEA
BEHIND SPICEUP.
For generations, spices have been part of everyday food and drink. We wanted to bring that familiar tradition into something convenient, enjoyable and suited to modern life.

THE IDEA
02 · THE LAND
SRI LANKA'S
SPICE GARDENS.
True Ceylon cinnamon has grown in the south of Sri Lanka for generations, and the wider Samagi group has grown and exported it from Akuressa since 1969. That knowledge guides how we select ingredients and develop the SPICEUP range.
SAMAGI ORGANICS · SINCE 1969
FROM ONE ESTATE
TO ONE CAN
SPICEUP is the newest chapter of a spice house that has grown, peeled and exported True Ceylon cinnamon from Akuressa since 1969.
- 1969THE FIRST ESTATE · AKURESSA
ONE ESTATE, ONE CONVICTION.
Mr. Abeyratne founds Samagi Organics on a single estate in Akuressa, on the conviction that Ceylon spice deserved to be known for its authenticity, not its volume.
- 1990STHE SECOND GENERATION
THE NEXT GENERATION.
His children take the business forward. The growing and peeling methods stay exactly as they were, and the door opens to buyers outside Sri Lanka for the first time.
- 2005ORGANIC, ON PAPER
WHAT THE ESTATES ALREADY PRACTISED.
Organic certification formalises on paper what the estates had practised for three decades: undergrowth left standing, mixed planting kept, soil treated as the asset it is.
- 2015EIGHT MARKETS · THREE CONTINENTS
FROM ONE DISTRICT TO THE WORLD.
Exports reach Mexico, the USA, Brazil, Argentina, Honduras, Peru, Canada and Europe, all served from one district of southern Sri Lanka.
