About us

The Mystic East India is world famous for its scenic beauty and salubrious climate and is home to various tribes who have their unique cultures and traditions. What is relatively less known about this region is that there are innumerable varieties of flora and fauna which grow only in Mystic East India, thanks to the pristine and undisturbed beauty of nature.

Among these amazing varieties of flora and fauna, there are many high functionality spices and crops. These are produced by minimal use of chemicals (pesticides and insecticides) and thus have a signature taste and aroma.

We are focusing on “Producing”, “Procuring”, “Processing” and “Presentation” of spices and grains to the discerning customer. The spices being presented by us are sourced via “Ethical Farming” method having minimum usage of chemicals/ ensuring organic produce.

We are a startup who have got all regulatory permissions like FSSAI, GST registrations and Spice Board certification for exports.

All claims of high functionality of our products can be validated by test reports from accredited food testing laboratories.
