About Us

India Tree is a premier purveyor and supplier of fine spices, baking ingredients and pastry decorations to enthusiastic home cooks and professional bakers alike. India Tree’s ethos and product selection reflect the creative vision of its founder, a creative designer, photographer, and international traveler whose interests included experimental cooking and recipe development. Drawing inspiration from local markets and regional traditions in places like Paris, the Greek Isles and Port Louis, the India Tree vision is one that seeks to evoke and inspire a sense of culinary freedom of expression and departure from the ordinary.

Today, India Tree remains committed to preserving this vision by sourcing the finest products available worldwide, and presenting them in packaging that is clean, transparent, and minimalist. Starting with the artistic home cook and baker in mind, India Tree products include luxurious baking sugars from the Island of Mauritius, fragrant extra-bold Tellicherry pepper from India, and an array of fine spices and spice blends from around the world. India Tree also features an assortment of specialty items from domestic and local farmers, such as grade AA porcini mushrooms foraged in the Pacific Northwest, non-GMO popcorn from the Midwest, and identity-preserved dried beans from the Columbia Basin.

For the aspiring pastry chef, India Tree features a carefully curated collection of naturally colored pastry decorating items, including plant-based liquid food dyes in primary colors that can be blended into custom shades for elegant frostings, icings and even used to color macarons. Toppings such as French dragees and nonpareils lend an elegant designer finish to any creation.

India Tree is a family owned and operated company, founded by Gretchen Goehrend in 1991.
