Mon's Flavors is a family spice business in Hillcrest, Rotorua, at 308 Old Taupo Road, that makes Indian-inspired spice blends in New Zealand. Its distinctive feature is the cooking class run by Mon herself. The classes teach simple, healthy Indian dishes, and they also cover how spices can support health. Mon began cooking in her grandfather's kitchen in India and moved to New Zealand in 2011. The blends grew out of the response to those classes.
The blends are freshly ground and roasted, and they contain no artificial colouring, no refined sugar, no MSG and no salt. They are dairy-free and caffeine-free, and the ingredients are chosen for their nutrient value, and are organic where possible. The range includes a turmeric latte mix, Dish Delicious, Next Level Butter Chicken and Golden Honey. As at 2026, prices start at NZD $18.99 for the cheapest blend listed on the website.
Mon also shares plant-based recipes on social media, and the website describes the blends as ideal for cooking, grilling or adding colour and flavour to any dish.
