Jaggery, an unrefined natural sugar made from sugarcane juice, is the OG, precolonial sweetener of South Asia. What started as the lil pick-me-up of so many of our childhoods is now our preferred addition to cups of chai, haldi doodh, and more.

Licorice ∙ Mint ∙ Pine ∙ Pomelo
The wild cardamom we spent over a year sourcing and just can't seem to keep in stock! With a fragrance so heady you can smell it from outside the box (!!!), it's notes of licorice, mint and pine are deeply nostalgic. It's so potent you need half as many pods as you usually would, and it will make the best cup of chai you've ever had.

The Making of the Masala Dabba
Designed by Tiipoi’s industrial designer Andre Pereira in their studio in London, the Diaspora x Tiipoi Masala Dabba are made in Tiipoi’s workshop in Bangalore by craftsman Venkatesh Chinnappa aka Venky ‘Anna’ (which translates to older brother in nearly all of the South Indian languages).
Venky has been spinning metal for over 25 years and now Tiipoi’s metal products since they began. This craft is at the heart of so many of Tiipoi’s collections. You can read more about Metal Spinning in our too.
is a London based design studio with a workshop in Bangalore founded in 2013 by . Tiipoi believes that there is more to Indian design than just sticking an elephant on it, and that Indian craft has more to offer than simply repeating the past.
India can seem a pretty chaotic place. But sitting there, quietly, are some really incredible, super functional designs. The “designers” of these objects if they can be found at all, aren’t celebrated in the same way as they are in other countries, (the Masala Dabba is definitely one such design!) and instead, design is seen as a bi-product of living. This unassuming approach, with an emphasis on a quiet functionality, is what inspires and drives the ethos behind the studio.
