Cheviots International · Thalasserry · Kerala · India
Cheviots International is an exporter based in Thalasserry, Kerala, supplying importers, processors and wholesale buyers abroad — to specification, with clear documentation and direct communication.
01Origin
Kerala sits between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats. Monsoon rain, laterite soil and shaded hill slopes make it one of the oldest spice-growing regions on earth. Pepper and cardamom from this coast were traded across the Indian Ocean long before modern shipping.
We work from Thalasserry, in Kannur district, in the north of the state. Our job is simple to describe: find good spice, prepare it to the buyer's specification, and see it safely to the port.
02From vine to spice
Everything we ship starts this small.
A pepper berry, picked green on the vine, dried in the sun until it darkens and wrinkles. The work that follows — selection, cleaning, grading, packing — decides how it arrives.
03The spices
Piper nigrum
The dried berry of a flowering vine native to the Western Ghats. Bold, pungent, with a warm resinous finish.
04The spices
Elettaria cardamomum
Aromatic green pods from the cool, shaded hills of the Western Ghats. Graded by size, colour and pod integrity.
05The spices
Cinnamomum verum
Inner bark rolled into quills as it dries. Sweet, delicate and warm.
06The spices
Syzygium aromaticum
Dried flower buds with an intense, sweet-medicinal aroma. Hand-picked before the flowers open.
07The spices
Curcuma longa
Boiled, dried and polished rhizome with an earthy flavour and deep golden colour.
08The spices
Coffee for B2B buyers. Origin, variety, grade and processing are confirmed against your specification.
09Catalogue
Availability varies by season. Every order is confirmed against your specification.
·Origin
Kerala is a narrow strip between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats. The mountains catch the south-west monsoon; the shaded slopes below hold the rain, soil and shade that pepper and cardamom need.
We are based in Thalasserry, in Kannur district, on the northern Kerala coast — close to the growing regions and to the sea.
·Quality
Most problems with bulk spice start long before loading: at drying, at sorting, in the bag. We pay attention at each of those points and put the specification in writing.
Origin is confirmed before purchase. We prefer growing regions and suppliers we can return to.
Stones, stems, dust and light material are removed before grading.
Lots are graded against the specification agreed with the buyer — size, density or colour as relevant.
Dried spices are checked for moisture before packing, because excess moisture is the most common cause of spoilage in transit.

How export orders work
·For buyers
We start from your written specification, not from a price list. If we cannot meet it, we say so.
You get direct answers from people who know the order. Updates are sent without having to chase them.
Paperwork is prepared alongside the goods, following the requirements agreed for your destination.
Drying, cleaning and packing are the steps that decide how spice arrives. We pay attention to all three.
Pack sizes, labels, grades and forms are agreed per order rather than forced into a standard offer.
We tell you where the spice comes from and state species and origin on documentation.
