KARAFUU – Variations Green

Karafuu is the Swahili word for clove – the main spice grown on the island. During harvest season, locals dry the cloves in the sun, filling nearby villages with their rich aroma. The carved design on the lid of our signature jar draws inspiration from the clove flower’s unique shape.

Each set includes upcycled glass jars, topped with a traditionally carved wooden lid and sealed with an airtight, food-grade silicone ring.

Available in a set of three: one medium (8 cm) and two large jars (10 cm), in your choice of transparent or green glass.
The jars come packaged in a CHAKO gift box.

Packing details:

• 1 set = 3 jars in a gift box.

Materials:
Recycled wine bottles, Mninga wood, and food-grade silicone.

We craft each jar from one of the over two million glass bottles we collect in Zanzibar every year.
