About South China Seas

Since 1994, South China Seas has spent over 30 years sourcing the most intense and flavourful spice growers to offer unrivalled quality, selection, and freshness. We grind, blend and package on premise in Vancouver, Canada. Our ever-growing collection of spices, herbs and blends represents our passion for flavourful food & exploring international cultures through food. 

Traditionally we have been known for our single-source spices (Cinnamons, Turmeric, Paprikas, Sumac) but we have built a following for our custom made blends (Lebanese 7 Spice, Shawarma, Zatar) all of which were lovingly formulated by our team of spice experts.
