A London based functional food brand making organic and ethically sourced turmeric based products. Focusing on consumption with purpose, by harvesting the power of plants for the ultimate wellness ritual. Wunder translates to miracle, and we focus on plants that have a quality that can be classed as such.

Set up by Tom & Zoe, WUNDER WORKSHOP is inspired by Ayurveda – the “Science of Life”, whose principles are based upon a preventive and holistic approach to health. WW uses functional ingredients to maximise life‘s potential. All the decisions taken Wunder Workshop are based on a set of ethical and sustainable values to promote a transparent relationship between grower and consumer.

We ethically source our organic turmeric and most of our other ingredients directly from small community farms in Sri Lanka that use a sustainable farming technique called Forest Gardening, supporting Sri Lanka’s natural biodiversity, its farmers and local community.

1% of our revenues go towards a women empowering social enterprise in Sri Lanka supporting women in learning new skills by creating vegetable dyed aprons, pouches and more. To offset our carbon footprint we support a reforestation project where 100 trees will be planted by the Arhuaco family in Columbia. The Wunder Forest will provide a sustainable source of food security, and the cultivation of more trees will help native communities and wildlife flourish.
