I'll start with the backstory. It all started with the fact that Sultan Sayyid Said fell in love with Zanzibar so much that he moved his residence here from Oman. A few years after the conquest, once again touring his new possession, he suddenly discovers that cloves, recently brought from the Moluccas, are grown on the island. Soon the first clove plantations appeared in Zanzibar, and by the middle of the 19th century it had become the largest supplier of this spice in the world. Over the years, spices have become the main income of the island's economy.
Much of what you are accustomed to seeing in your kitchen in the form of packaged dry powder grows here. On the farm, the fruits will be plucked from a tree or found in the grass, peeled, cut and given a taste.

After the tour, you can buy the necessary spices for yourself.
