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 StatesThe Berbere and Baharat spice blends were both absolutely amazing smelling, and soon as you add some heat you get an explosion of aroma. Great with veggies and in any sort of curry. Savory but not spicy, seems to have a bit of sweetness and hints of cinnamon (although that's not one of the ingredients.) I think the Berbere is better suited to curries and is a bit more sweet than the Baharat.
Thank you for your great, detailed review! Happy to hear you enjoyed them!
United StatesAmazing for tacos as well!
United StatesThe Baharat and Berbere were both very fragrant and smelled wonderful. They will be wonderful on roasted veggies and soups. The Afghan Curry Braise was supposed to have saffron, but it had some undertones we found slightly unpleasant. It didn't smell like saffron to me. We may just need to use it more to get used to it. I will definitely buy the Berbere again. I did wish the cork tops were better secured. One can with a plastic shrink wrap on the cork and bottle. One had a piece of tape and one didn't have anything. The corks come out very easily. Packaging could definitely be improved. They were well packed in the shipping box/envelope with bubble wrap.
United StatesLove this blend.
United StatesWe use it all the time. Totally different flavor and aroma from the stuff you can get from the supermarket.
