R S S Spices

R S S Spices is located inside A3 in the Apn Apartment complex over in Arappalayam. It is a bit unusual to have a spice business in an apartment building, but it works for us. We have a couple of rooms where we store all the dried chilies and coriander seeds. The space is a bit tight, so we have to be very organized with how we stack the bags. Most of the day is spent sorting through the raw materials by hand. We sit on the floor and go through the piles to make sure everything looks okay. Arappalayam is a busy part of town, so there is always traffic noise coming in through the windows. We have a small team of three or four people who have been here for a long time. We don't really have a showroom or a place for people to sit down. It is just a working space with scales and bags everywhere. Sometimes the neighbors in Apn Apartment complain a little bit about the strong smell of the spices, but mostly they are used to it by now. We try to keep things quiet, but when we are packing the bags, there is always some rustling around. It is just a small, honest business running out of a flat. We don't try to make it look like anything more than what it is. It can be hard work on the back, but we just keep at it every day until the work is finished.
