Our Mission
We are a public benefit corporation and are committed to empowering Afghan women and bolstering the country’s economy. Rumi reinvests back into agricultural and manufacturing infrastructure.
Connecting AfghanistanRumi began with a mission to cultivate peace in Afghanistan. Over 80% of the Afghan population is reliant on the rural agricultural economy. The success of the spice industry not only helps farmers and the women providing direct labor, it can touch every member of the village we work in. We have seen output from our existing partners double and triple, while new farmers have asked to join our network.
With hot, dry winds over semi-arid lands, Afghanistan’s growing region is ideal for growing saffron and other artisanal spices. For example, in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, the International Taste and Quality Institute of Brussels awarded Afghan saffron first place out of 30 competing regions. Rumi saffron is tested in accordance with ISO (International Standards Organization) protocol 3632 and surpasses the highest standards for Category 1 saffron by over 25%. Our test results show that our farmers are producing some of the world’s best saffron.

Reviews
United StatesHave not used yet but anxious to try and that will be soon. They are so very aromatic and fresh smelling -- they impair a wonderful scent to my spice drawer.
United StatesI love all your spices still working on the ounce of saffron I got last year
United StatesI ordered several gift sets over the holidays. When there was a problem with a mistaken wrong gift set shipped, I was disappointed at first but then they provided a replacement immediately. Quick shipping even even at the holidays, high quality spices and its great to directly support the farmers who oroduce these spices
Thank you so much for your patience and support!
United StatesDitto all of the above. When I add any of the Rumi spice blends to my soup, they make it delicious. I have used the curry braise, paella, adobo and Ethiopian berbere. Looking forward to the piquant chicken.
United StatesWhen I added the Rumi Spices to my European meals it added another dimension to our recipes. I call it a Europersian flavorful experience....
Amazing - happy to hear you're experimenting with flavors!
