Is Diaspora Co. legit?
Short answer: yes, Diaspora Co. is a real store, and our score is 3.8 out of 5. The main caveat: reports of unanswered emails.
It sells single-origin spices, blends, saffron, tea and tools through its own website, diasporaco.com. Independent reviews are still scarce, so judge it mainly on its policies. Returns: Damaged or broken orders are refunded or resent; email photos and your order number.
Our take: legitimate, but read the downsides below before you buy.
Quality
The few public reviews praise how fresh and flavorful the spices are, with the ginger and turmeric singled out. Trustpilot has only four reviews, so the sample is small.
Price and value
Jars cost about $12 to $30, more per ounce than Burlap & Barrel according to one spice buying guide. Duos and sets cost less than buying jars separately.
Shipping and returns
Shipping cost shows at checkout. Damaged or broken orders are refunded or resent if you email photos and your order number; there's no general return policy for food.
Customer service
The main complaint is unanswered emails and automated replies, and one reviewer says they were charged for a subscription after cancelling.
