Herat, in their own hands.
Scan your origin.
Every tin carries a QR that opens the lot, cooperative, region and harvest date. Independent ISO 3632 lab test to follow.
Herat, the heart of saffron.
Our fields lie beneath the Hindu Kush — purple crocus, three red stigmas, hand-picked before dawn.
Picked and sorted by women.
Saffron in Herat has always been women's work. We buy in Herat from cooperatives we know and visit, so the value stays with the families.
Super Negin.
The highest grade: long, thick, deep red threads with no yellow style. Harvested once a year.
Scan your origin
Saffron you can prove.
The QR on every tin opens a page with the lot behind your jar: the cooperative in Herat, the region on the map, the harvest date, and soon the Eurofins ISO 3632 lab report. Works straight from your phone.

Our impact
Every gram works for a woman in Herat.

Film · The harvest
How saffron is hand-picked in Herat.
A short film by French-Afghan artist Barmak Akram. At first light, women pick each crocus by hand — three red stigmas per flower, 150,000 flowers for a single kilo of saffron. This is the work behind every jar of Zafia.

“My family is Afghan. I built Zafia to connect Herat directly to your kitchen. On the fields around Herat, in the Hari Rud valley, every thread is harvested and sorted by hand. One harvest, one lot, one code — every gram you buy supports an Afghan family.”
