The Origin

“The best Indian flavour in Aotearoa starts before it reaches the kitchen.”

South Sip is a small Auckland trading house built on a simple idea: the ingredients matter as much as the technique. We import spices, coffee and pantry staples directly from named growers in India — not through middlemen, not from generic suppliers.

We source fresh produce from New Zealand farms and pair them with the right spices. Most people meet us through Chilli Club — our made-to-order kitchen in Auckland. But the kitchen is only possible because of the pantry.
