Teak wood - one of the most valued tropical woods
Teak wood (Tectona grandis, in Indonesian: jati) is one of the most prized tropical wood species in the world. It is primarily found in Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Burma. Teak wood contains natural oils that help with the wood's water resistance and protect it from rot, insects, and bacteria. As a result, teak mortars are durable, easy to clean, and can be used for decades.
Spice mortar - a traditional kitchen tool
The mortar and pestle is one of the oldest kitchen tools in human history. Using a hand mortar allows fresh grinding of spices, providing a more intense, fuller flavour than powdered spices. The teak mortar is particularly suitable for: crushing garlic, grating ginger, grinding pepper blends, preparing spice pastes (e.g. Thai curry paste), as well as for pesto, hummus, and guacamole.
