Regency Spices is making spices the old-fashioned way. We're on a mission to bring back the days when we bought things because they were quality, not because they were cheap

When price becomes
the target, flavour becomes optional
Most supermarket categories are built around a "normal" price point. To hit it, brands optimise for cost, shelf life, and consistency on paper.
Over time, that price pressure changes what goes into the jar and ultimately what goes into your home
The market rewards whatever fits the shelf price and sells best, not what tastes best
Spices still look fine, but depth and aroma drop off fast when you cook.
Lower grades, heavier processing, and flavour fixes become the easiest way to compete.
Replace it sooner, use more for impact, or keep buying new jars hoping the next tastes better.

03
Ingredients stay simple
Single spices list one ingredient. Blends list every spice. Ingredients you could mix together in your home kitchen
01
Handled for flavour
Ingredients are inspected more than once for consistency, then packed with care locally in Hong Kong. Ground items are milled
04
Origin stays visible
Origin affects flavour. All spices are single origin and carefully sourced from where they grow best and never commoditized
02
One grade only
We choose a grade for each ingredient and stick to it. When supply changes, we change origin or wait, rather than trade down.
05
Nothing added
No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no shelf-life extenders, no bulking ingredients. Chemical names you need to look up online

Frequently Asked Questions
What's different about Regency Spices?
All our spices are naturally farmed and processed from fresh season's crop. They are sold pure in their whole form wherever possible. As a result, you can admire their unique natural flavours and aromas - astoundingly different from what's commonly available in the supermarket.
How does your pricing compare?
Regency's founders have been importing spices since back in 1951! As a result, we have generations of great connections with farms and spice producers at origin around the world. You can expect to get spices at least at half the price per gram compared to a high street shop, and when buying in bulk, much much more. What's better is we are proud to say the quality of our spices is unmatched in Hong Kong, and possibly worldwide! We also link our spices to the export spice prices, so that our consumers can enjoy the very best prices. In case the commodity price falls, so will ours!
What does shipping cost?
If you're in our local city of Hong Kong, shipping is free, with a minimum of just HKD150! Free shipping is fulfilled by SF Express in 2-4 working days depending on your address. Most deliveries arrive in 1-2 working days. Our working days are Monday to Friday, not including public holidays. If your order is below HKD150, we charge a nominal HKD20 for the shipping. We also offer paid shipping by our super speedy drivers, delivered to most addresses within Hong Kong on the next working day, same day delivery is also possible for orders placed early morning. We strongly believe in letting everyone have access to our favourite herbs and spices, which have been enjoyed by our traditional indian households for centuries, but lost in recent years. International shipping varies by weight. Please refer to our delivery information for international pricing.
How do you package your spices?
Our spices are stored in a temperature controlled environment in our warehouse, vacuum sealed whenever it benefits the shelf life, and ground and packed fresh in Hong Kong. To ensure their freshness, we pack our spices using the highest quality resealable aluminium bags. These are airtight, so your spices will remain fresher for longer. They are also opaque to provide the best protection from heat and light. The larger sized bags have a small window - by popular demand. We also offer glass jar packaging for convenient access on a kitchen rack.
Do you sell powdered spices? Can you grind my spices for me?
Yes! We now offer freshly ground spices for most of our products. We grind and blend all the spices several times a month, so that the aroma and flavour will be as fresh as possible, and price is economical too. You can select the grind option before adding each item to your cart. Note that this will cost HKD 10 for most items. Unlike ordinarily found powdered spices, our powdered spices are made from the highest quality ingredients - the very same quality that you can buy whole, whereas many retailers will use their less good looking pieces to powder! Please note that colour of ground spice will not be identical to the whole spice colour, the colour is usually slightly lighter, as more light reflects off the powder than the whole spice.
Are your spices organic?
Our spices and ingredients are 100% natural and pure, and effectively as good as organic spices! However, due to where many of our suppliers and connections are located, many of our spices cannot be certified organic. We can promise that they are free from added chemicals or preservatives, colourings, and also have no GMO (genetically modified organisms) or MSG (Monosodium glutamate).
