About Us
HIIU GOURMET products are made with love and care!
We live and produce on Hiiumaa. In every jar and bottle we create, there is a small piece of Hiiumaa’s forests and meadows – the island’s natural vitality, beneficial nutrients and minerals that nourish both body and soul.
Hiiu Gourmet products are created within the UNESCO-recognised “Man and the Biosphere” programme area.
This is a living environment where people, nature and culture have shaped the way life is lived, work is done and knowledge is passed on from one generation to the next.
From this environment and way of thinking, our teas are born – created in harmony with nature, valuing island traditions, local skills and wisdom handed down through generations.
Our teas carry the Hiiumaa Green Label, a mark of quality that confirms their local origin, responsible production and respect for the values of Hiiumaa. This label highlights products that are created on the island and developed in balance with the local natural and living environment.
For us, sustainability is not a separate promise, but a natural part of our everyday creation.
We work closely with local people and are members of Organic Estonia and the Estonian Rural Tourism Association.
We handcraft unique seasoning blends and flavored salts that suit every dish—from potatoes and fish to lamb, chicken, porridge, and grilled meats. Our selection also includes distinctive pepper mixes and colorful salt mills that bring both eye-catching design and rich flavor to your kitchen.
For tea and herb lovers, we fill our blends—crafted from the richness of Hiiumaa’s forests and meadows—into biodegradable tea bags, keeping even the packaging kind to nature. Elegant golden gift boxes and seasonal tea sets illustrated by Ewa-Kaisa Plakk make every gift moment truly special.
For your coffee break—or better yet, to go with your coffee!—we offer five cheerful COFFEE TOPPINGS, there are already 5 different variations.
Hiiu Gourmet received support from the Hiiu Cooperative Association Leader program "Purchase of equipment for innovative valorization of raw materials for Hiiu tea blends and flavor blends." (total project volume 10,431.64 EUR, support 6,258.98 EUR). The project will purchase a freeze-drying oven, dryer and mixer.
In 2021, Hiiu Gourmet received support from the Leader program for the project "Hiiu Gourmet sales (e-sales) complex, contactless solution for crises" (total project volume 6,560.-EUR, support 3,936.-EUR). The project improved Hiiu Gourmet's online store. New photos were taken, which are used throughout marketing measures, including in print and social media. The so-called "full circle" for product sales is being developed, starting from advertising the online store, better customer service and communication (to create a customer base, feedback opportunity, etc.), packaging products in an environmentally sustainable and high-quality manner, adding Hiiu Gourmet promotional flyers and new product offers for after-sales.
