Le Comptoir Des Poivres
We are proud to be grocers and wish to restore the nobility of this profession.
Le Comptoir des Poivres is a grocer and proud of it. A team of epicureans and enthusiasts who have spent years tracking down peppers and spices of impeccable quality, in search of new and surprising sensations by travelling through India, Iran, Madagascar, Nepal, and Mexico.
Le Comptoir des Poivres offers you today an exceptional choice of black, white, red, long, or tailed peppers, as well as spices such as coriander, cacao, cinnamon, and the superb Néguine Saffron from Targh.
Le Comptoir des Poivres presents its range of whole dried chillies from Mexico, its blended salt compositions, wild black Sansho from Bhutan, Madagascar Curry, an exceptional and exclusive Arcoiris pepper blend, Rose petals from Isfahan, as well as an incredible bunch of organic green pepper from the Bolaven Plateau in Laos, and many other new discoveries to explore throughout the year.
The peppers and spices are packaged in attractive metal tins, away from light and with no treatment whatsoever, to preserve all their flavours. For the most discerning lovers of taste.

Japanese spoon: a touch of art at your table
Beyond their practical use, Japanese spoons are true works of art. Their minimalist and refined aesthetic harmonises perfectly with any type of décor, whether a traditional table setting or a more contemporary arrangement. These spoons bring a note of elegance to every meal, transforming ordinary moments into memorable ones.
A design conceived for every dish
Whether you are a tea lover, a passionate cook or simply looking for an aesthetic and functional utensil, our Japanese spoons meet all your needs. Their ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, making it easy to serve and enjoy your favourite dishes and drinks.
Discover our rice spoon: its flat, slightly curved shape allows rice to be served without crushing it, thus preserving the light, airy texture of the grains. The rice spoon is also non-stick and designed to prevent the grains from sticking.
Opt for a ramen spoon: the depth and ergonomic shape of this porcelain spoon are perfectly suited for easily scooping up the broth along with the various ingredients, while making them easy to enjoy. Models fitted with notches allow them to be hooked over the edge of a bowl, offering a practical solution for enjoying your meal without having to place the spoon directly on the table. We also offer a bamboo spoon version.
In Japan, the chashaku, or matcha tea spoon, is an indispensable utensil for preparing matcha, the famous powdered green tea. Made from natural bamboo, it allows the ideal quantity of powder needed to obtain a perfectly balanced drink to be measured with precision. Used in the tea ceremony, the chashaku embodies the simplicity and elegance of Japanese art, while respecting the ancestral traditions linked to matcha culture.
