Flavours of Tradition

At Tikachi, we bring you the authentic taste of Wayanad — a land renowned for its rich spice plantations, misty hills, and generations of farming tradition. Nestled in Kerala and blessed with a cool climate and fertile soil, Wayanad produces some of the world’s finest spices — pepper, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, and coffee — treasured across India and the world for their aroma, quality, and depth of flavour.

Founded in September 2019 by Amal V S  and a dedicated team in Wayanad, Tikachi is one of the fastest-growing spice companies in Wayanad — built on a simple but powerful belief: that every customer in India deserves access to 100% authentic, pesticide-free Wayanad spices, sourced directly from the farmers who grow them. From the very first day, we have never compromised on this promise.

Our Story

Tikachi began with a problem that Amal V S saw every day living in  Wayanad. The farmers surrounding the town — growing some of the finest pepper, cardamom, and chillies in the world — were selling their produce through long supply chains that paid them little and delivered old, blended, low-quality products to customers far away.

The idea was straightforward: build a direct bridge between the Wayanad farmer and the customer who deserves the best. Cut the middlemen. Pack fresh. Deliver fast. Never mix quality grades. Never add preservatives.

Starting from a small store on Wayanad Rippon Road, Meppadi, Tikachi grew quickly — not through heavy advertising, but through word of mouth from customers who tasted the difference immediately. Today, Tikachi supplies premium Kerala spices to home cooks, restaurants, and wholesale buyers across India, and ships to customers worldwide.

Our Vision

To be the world’s most trusted destination for authentic Wayanad spices, connecting people everywhere to the rich, uncompromised flavours of Kerala. We envision a world where every kitchen — from a home in Delhi to a restaurant in Dubai — experiences the true taste of Wayanad: 100% natural, directly sourced, and packed with the heritage of generations of Indian farming tradition. 

Our Mission

To source, pack, and deliver the highest quality Kerala and Wayanad spices by building direct relationships with trusted local farmers — ensuring every product is pure, fresh, and free from additives. We are committed to fair pricing for both farmers and customers, to making authentic Wayanad flavours accessible across India and the world, and to building a brand that stands for integrity, quality, and the real taste of Kerala — every single time. 

Why We Started — Supporting Wayanad Farmers

Wayanad is home to thousands of small-scale farming families who grow produce of extraordinary quality. For generations, these farmers have received very little reward for their exceptional work — squeezed by middlemen, unpredictable market prices, and a supply chain that values volume over quality.

Tikachi was started specifically to change this. By buying directly from Wayanad farmers at fair prices, we ensure that the people who grow our spices are properly rewarded — and that our customers receive spices that are genuinely fresh, genuinely authentic, and genuinely different from anything available in a supermarket.

When you buy from Tikachi, you are not just buying a spice. You are directly supporting a farming family in Wayanad.

What Makes Tikachi Different

• Direct from Wayanad farmers — no middlemen, no blending with inferior grades from other regions

• Packed in small fresh batches close to harvest — not sitting in a warehouse for 12 months

• 100% natural — no artificial colours, no anti-caking agents, no preservatives

• Pesticide-free sourcing — we select our farmers carefully based on growing practices
