When you walk around Mitakawani, you will find chilli plants growing everywhere. These chilli peppers are known as ‘Pili Pili Hoho’ in Zanzibar and are of the local, traditional variety. Be warned, these are super hot but also incredibly fragrant. We left them whole, to keep all the aromas locked in. Flavour is 100% guaranteed!

Who grew our Mitakawani Pili Pili?
grown in zanzibar
Mitakawani Village
Right in the middle of the Southern island of Unguja lies the small village of Mitakawani. Far removed from any lucrative tourist spots, they are completely reliant on spice farming. Since most of the people here only have small plots of land, they tend to mix their relatively small harvests together and share the profits.
