The Mae Jum Gift Box Taster Bundle is nine authentic Thai pastes in one beautifully packaged box, from gentle, fragrant classics to some of the hottest curries in Thailand. It makes a thoughtful gift for foodies and home cooks, or an easy way to find your favorite Thai curry paste for everyday cooking.
The selection is arranged as a journey through Thai heat. Start mild with warmly spiced Massaman, a Pad Thai paste for the country's best-loved noodle dish, and Tom Kha for creamy coconut soup. Move up to rich Panang and fragrant Green curry, then Red and Southern Yellow for real, building warmth. Finish with Jungle curry and Kua Kling, the southern Thai dry-fried curry, both at full intensity.
Every paste is stone-ground from Jum's family recipes in Trang province, southern Thailand, using freshly harvested herbs. Nothing added, no shortcuts. It's a unique food gift that gets used, not left on a shelf.

FEATURED IN THE DAILY MAIL
“The Thai curry pastes from Mae Jum are some of the best I’ve tasted, full of spice, heat and Siamese succour.”
— Tom Parker Bowles, Food Critic
I was born and raised in Thailand, where there was an abundance of herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables growing around my family home. It wasn't in a garden or vegetable plot, it was just here, there and everywhere! From a young age, I was often the one asked to blend the herbs and spices in a stone pestle and mortar, until my arm was about to fall off. I didn't enjoy it, but in hindsight, it taught me all I know..
Today, my family's traditional blend of newly harvested herbs are stone ground to make a fresh paste, which is combined with a mix of whole spices that have been pan roasted to extract the natural oils before being finely ground.
We do not add any sugar, oil, shrimp paste or any artificial preservatives, additives or coloring to our fresh blend which is then mildly pasteurized to retain the natural qualities and goodness so you can enjoy that distinctive aroma of fresh herbs and spices when you open the packet.
Each 2.5 oz pack of Mae Jum curry paste makes about 8 servings — plenty for a family meal or a couple of nights of leftovers (if it lasts that long!). Just add coconut milk, protein, and vegetables of your choice.
Every curry has its own personality! Our spice levels range from 1 to 5, so there's something for everyone — from the gentle warmth of Massaman (1/5), a fiery kick of Red Curry (3/5) or intense heat of a Jungle Curry (5/5).
Check the spice rating on each pack to find your perfect match, and remember: you can always adjust the heat by adding more or less paste to your dish!
To cook the ultimate traditional Thai dish, you may want to add the following ingredients: Fish sauce, palm sugar or shrimp paste.
Although you can still produce a beautiful Thai meal without these extra ingredients from using Mae Jum Thai pastes.
Keep opened packs of paste in fridge, where it'll stay fresh for up to 3-4 weeks.
For longer storage, portion it into an ice cube tray and freeze — that way you'll always have curry paste ready whenever the craving strikes.
So much more than curry! Beyond the classic coconut milk curry, our pastes are wonderful stirred into soups, marinades, stir-fries, fried rice, or even mixed into dips and dressings. A little goes a long way in bringing bold Thai flavor to almost anything.
