The red gold
of Pampore.
Hand-picked Kashmiri saffron, dried over embers and sold honestly, by the gram.
The harvest
How Pampore saffron is harvested
Each autumn, the high plateaus of Pampore turn violet almost overnight. The crocus flowers for barely three weeks. Before the sun is high, families walk the rows and pick every bloom by hand. At home, the three crimson stigmas are pulled from each flower, one by one, and dried slowly over low embers. Around 1,50,000 flowers go into a single kilogram. That is why we sell by the gram.
Two grades, both honest
Pure Red or Full Thread?
Same flower, same field. The difference is how much of the thread we keep.
Grade A
Full Thread
The whole stigma: red tips with a little pale yellow style still attached. Longer threads, gentler colour.
Best for everyday saffron tea, desserts and sweets.

The water test
Real saffron is patient.
- 1Warm a glass of water. Warm, not boiling.
- 2Drop in two or three threads. Don’t stir.
- 3Watch for ten minutes. Real threads stay red and slowly bleed a golden-yellow colour. Dyed threads turn the water red at once and go pale.
Real: thread stays red, water turns slowly golden.
