Our Story

Tin’s Bagoong is a reflection of its founder’s life journey. It all began with a simple childhood memory—watching a relative prepare sautéed ginisang ginamos (small shrimp paste) and observing her sister make fish bagoong with a family secret method that elevated its flavor. A seemingly small trick, yet it made all the difference. Inspired by these experiences, the founder went on to develop her own unique technique, refining the process to create something truly special.

From bottling and label design to photography, website creation, and web-shop management—each step of building this business was shaped by skills and experiences from the past, culminating in what Tin’s Bagoong is today. More than just a product, it is a labor of love, a journey of passion and perseverance poured into every bottle. We hope you enjoy its rich, authentic taste and become part of this ongoing story—one that continues to evolve with every person who discovers and savors it.
