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 StatesThese are great blends and I very much like the glass bottles and cork tops. I do not like all the plastic packaging and hope to see some solution for that.
United StatesTrue authentic spice that brings back memories of travels around the world. And, glad to support a woman-owned company that ethically sources spices!
Happy to hear about your experience - Thanks for the support!
United StatesExcellent flavor and balance
United StatesExcellent. I use it as my goto spice for rubbing meats and fish for grilling.
This is the blend that taught me to love smoked paprika. There is also a nice black pepper heat to it as well. I love it on sauteed vegetables, on eggs, mixed into beans or lentils, in beef stew . . . once I get my next order, I'll probably try mixing it into sausage.
