We import from
China · Kina
From China's vast agricultural regions — Shandong, Yunnan, Guangxi — come sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, macadamia and pecans. Harvests that follow the monsoon and the great rivers Yangtze and Yellow.
History
A 5000-year civilization — from Shang dynasty oracle bones, through Han, Tang and Song, the Silk Road linking Xi'an to Rome, the Ming fleet that reached Africa, into today's global trade. Tang poets Li Bai and Du Fu wrote of moonlight on the rice fields — the same landscapes that today feed the world with seeds and nuts.
Lifestyle
Tea ceremony in Fujian, family meals around the round table with lazy susan, dawn tai chi in the park, markets bursting with produce where every seed carries a story. Family — jia — is the atom of society.
Gastronomy
Sichuan with its numbing pepper, Cantonese dim sum, Lanzhou noodles, Peking duck — seeds and nuts are fundamental. Pumpkin seeds are roasted and salted just as in Lu Xun's childhood memories of Shaoxing.
The people & families
Three generations sharing roasted pumpkin seeds (guazi) on a Sunday in front of the TV. Friends meeting in a Chengdu teahouse with a bowl of peanuts. Grandparents teaching grandchildren to crack pine nuts with their teeth — a family ritual.
Landscapes & farms
Rice terraces in Yunnan, sunflower fields in Inner Mongolia, macadamia plantations in Yunnan's subtropical mountains, pecan groves in Yunnan and Anhui. Yangtze river valleys where the monsoon waters everything.
Arts, music & literature
Li Bai and Du Fu, Lu Xun, Mo Yan (Nobel 2012), calligraphy as meditation, Peking opera, Wong Kar-wai, Zhang Yimou. We tie every package to this literary tradition — when you crack a nut you open a page of China.
Our partnership
We work with cooperatives certified for traceability and fair trade — Chinese farmers finally receiving European premium prices for their craftsmanship.
