Maybe create a resealable option? Or an alternative that caters to single cookers? 

Really beautiful and would make a great gift. Great way to discover new spices, try new recipes and flavors. In theory...

In reality, I don't think I'm the target audience, because the spices come in pretty big portions and I don't cook anything that warrants such a volume of spices at once (especially since the pods aren't resealable and hard to store). A few spices were redundant, e.g. cayenne pepper and garlic powder, since I already have larger containers at home. 

They are a bit pricy, but I'm sure that it because they're sourcing high-quality spices. Also, likely that will potentially improve over time as the company reaches scale.

I have ordered Occo spices as a gift for friends and family a few times. I fell in love with the founding story, the packaging and the way that they inspire creativity in the kitchen. My friends / family have commented that the spices taste really fresh and encouraged them to try new recipes, and that the smaller portions were helpful given that they are both single individuals.
