Rumi Spice, a B Corporation, was founded by U.S. Veterans, Emily Miller, Kim Jung and Keith Alaniz, who hold a special reverence for Afghanistan’s vibrant people and culture. Their commitment involves sourcing premium spices from Afghanistan to provide steady incomes and economic stability for rural farmers and women. Through direct trade and market expansion, Rumi Spice contributes to uplifting local livelihoods. This endeavor holds the potential to drive lasting economic development and foster peace in the region.

Thistlerock Mead Company’s partnership with Rumi Spice is a collaboration that enables us to procure exceptional saffron and an array of other spices. These aromatic ingredients are not only showcased in our Farm Shop for purchase, but also play a pivotal role in the creation of our distinct mead blends.
