Vibrant, personal, and full of flavor.

This collection celebrates our longtime friend and collaborator, Adeena Sussman, whose cooking brings the sunny spirit of Tel Aviv into every kitchen. Created together for her beloved book Sababa, these blends reflect Adeena’s love of bold, balanced flavor and the way food connects culture, place, and memory.

Herbes de Carmel

thyme, rosemary, nigella
Thyme and rosemary bring bright herbaceous notes, balanced by the toasted flavors of nigella and sesame. Aromatic and versatile, it evokes the herb stalls of Tel Aviv’s Carmel Market—perfect for fish, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats.

Rub Adom

pimentón, Aleppo chili, garlic
Deep, warm, and versatile, Rub Adom pairs earthy and sweet smoked paprika and Aleppo chili with bold garlic for depth and balance—an homage to Israel’s paprika-filled pantries. Excellent for chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, or as a base for marinades and sauces.

Sour Lime Seasoning

Persian lime, sumac, turmeric
The tart vibrancy of sun-dried Persian limes meets earthy turmeric and savory garlic for a blend that’s both bright and grounding. A staple in Adeena’s style of cooking, perfect for chicken wings, fish, roasted vegetables, or sprinkling over salads and popcorn.

The La Boîte x Adeena Sussman Set
