Fun Facts

On 27 October 1628, the newly built Batavia, commissioned by the Dutch East India Company, sailed from Texel for the Dutch East Indies, to obtain Cloves and Nutmeg. It sank on voyage off the WA coast.

Cloves were probably the first form of breath freshener. Indeed, during the Han Dynasty, courtiers held cloves in their mouths to sweeten their breath before addressing the emperor.
