The Darjeeling for chocolate and cheese. Nutty, toasty, and built for dessert boards. Pair with our Vanilla Bean to enhance the nutty sweetness, or our Cinnamon for a roasted-spice biscotti vibe.

Always handy

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.
