Photographs from the shallows where the seaweed is cut, the yards where vanilla is cured, and the warehouse floor in Batam where a shipment is put together.
Fresh green and white seaweed, sea grapes and dried lots. Everything here is photographed as it left our hands.
Three grades leave our store: Grade A gourmet, Grade B, and industrial cuts for extraction.
Cube, hexagonal and pillow. Ash content, moisture, burn time and dimension tolerance are confirmed per production run.
Producers, our own team, and the Batam waterfront where a shipment finally leaves.
