Origine

What Origine does

Origine is a U.S. retail brand of organic and regeneratively cultivated spices and botanical ingredients, incorporated as Origine California, Inc. and headquartered at 4699 Nautilus Court S, Suite 502, Boulder, Colorado. The company was created in 2018 by Francois Bernard and Olivier Bernard, founders of the Indonesia-based organic and fair-trade wholesaler Tripper Inc. (operating since 1992), to bring Tripper's farmer-sourced vanilla and spice supply directly to U.S. consumers under a consumer-facing label.

Origine's product portfolio centers on Indonesian-sourced vanilla (extract and bean paste) and a broader spice and botanical line including cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, turmeric, pandan, butterfly pea, coffee, extract powders, liquid extracts, and essential oils. Its technical and operational backbone is a direct, on-the-ground supply chain through affiliated entities Tripper Inc. and PT. Tripper Nature, combined with regenerative and syntropic farming practices and a stack of certifications (USDA Organic, Rainforest Alliance, Fair for Life, Regeneratively Cultivated, FSSC22000, Non-GMO Project, JAS, EU Organic, KLBD Kosher, and Halal) that together cover organic, fair-trade, food-safety, and major religious-dietary standards.

The company makes money through three channels: direct-to-consumer retail via its own e-commerce site and Amazon Marketplace listings of vanilla products; wholesale B2B distribution to retailers, including a listing on the RangeMe buyer-discovery platform; and private-label manufacturing for businesses wanting to brand Origine products under their own label. Go-to-market combines paid and organic channels with a community-led Tastemaker Program of food bloggers, wellness practitioners, and sustainable chefs who generate recipe content, supported by a recipe blog, organic Instagram presence, and email newsletter. The customer base is horizontal — health-conscious home consumers, content creators, and wholesale/retail buyers — with no disclosed large enterprise anchors and no external funding on record.
