Details
One to give, one to keep.
Two crystal bottles of Herati Super Negin — because nobody hands over saffron this good without wanting some back.
- 2 × 1 g all-red Super Negin — 0.071 oz total
- Gold-foiled gift box with a handwritten card
- Harvest-dated on every bottle
- Single origin: Herat Province, Afghanistan
The two bottles alone are $25.98. The extra goes on the box, the foil and the card — so it arrives ready to hand over rather than needing wrapping.
Cooking with it as well as giving it? The Household Pair adds the 10 g kitchen jar to this same gift box for $99.99 — $7.99 less than buying the two separately.

FAQ
Where can I find recipe-specific quantities?
Use the measurements provided in the specific recipe you are preparing. Browse our recipe collection for tested quantities and methods.
How do I know it's real?
ISO 3632 testing of our current lot is underway, and we will publish the full certificate here — laboratory, batch number and date — as soon as it lands. Then run the bloom test yourself: real saffron turns water gold slowly while the threads stay crimson. See the proof page.
Is this threads or powder?
Whole all-red threads, only ever. Powder is where adulteration hides — you cannot see what's in it.
Can I have it gift wrapped?
Yes. Choose "Give as a Gift" at checkout for wrap and a handwritten card. There is no charge for the card.
How should I store it?
Sealed in its bottle, in a cool dark cupboard. Never the fridge — humidity is the enemy. Kept well it holds peak aroma for two years or more.
Single origin
Herat, Afghanistan. One province, and nowhere else.
95% of Afghanistan's saffron grows in Herat's high-desert valleys — the source of most of Afghanistan's saffron exports. Every bottle is all-red Super Negin, cut above the yellow style, harvest-dated, and with independent current-lot ISO 3632 testing pending. No blending, no vague 'imported', no powder.
What to do with it tonight
Saffron. Hot water. Five golden minutes.
Warm the cup. Three to five threads. Water just off the boil. Wait five minutes and watch the gold spread — that slow bloom is the proof of the grade you just bought.
