I participated in the recent Kickstarter for these spices. I tried 4- asafoetida/heeng, green cardamom, mace, and garam masala. Initially, the spices were shipped within a couple days of the Kickstarter closing, via FedEx. Secondly, I was very impressed with the amount of each spice that I received for the amount that I paid. The cardamom was quite floral and fresh- smelling. My daughter loves cardamom (particularly in her coffee) and she immediately wanted to taste this right out of the package. She pronounced it incredible. She also tried the mace- it was spicy and also floral, and slightly numbing, probably the freshest mace that I have ever smelled. She's excited to try making an extract with this one. The garam masala is a gift along with the heeng. I gave those the next day. He was completely blown away by the complexity of the garam masala and excited to start working with it but the star of the show was the heeng. I have smelled, and tasted, asafoetida before from the grocery and from our local Indian mart, and it was nothing like this. This scent was much rounder, fuller and a combination of garlic and onion and cooked leeks. He was literally so excited to try it that he planned the next day's menu around it. These spices arrived quickly, were well packaged, and included enough to actually make a bunch of dishes. I am impressed with this project and this seller, and I am looking forward to trying several of his other spices. Highly recommended.
