I love the crafted products here. It's expensive, but still, we should all treat ourselves to fine things. I only get to indulge myself once a year but fortunately the spices last about that long. The teas are heaven. Beautiful and strong so I can stretch a $27 bag out for awhile. Unfortunately its not sold in a tin either and the plastic bag they present in doesn't last long.
Stopped in here passing by, and we are so happy we did. My boyfriend absolutely loves the truffle sea salt, and I love all the teas! We picked up an arrange of seasonings for my dad for his birthday I'm sure he will love.
I spent $50 in total, that includes the gifts and a few teas for myself.
The price may seem steep but you're getting Quality ingredients. Worth every penny. We're planning a trip down again soon because my boyfriend also absolutely loved the apple cider tea, he already finished it.
It was very amazing to find this place. They have all kinds of spices, teas, sugars and other items to enhance your experience. I definitely will be going back soon to buy some items (a teapot for sure and some tea). And maybe a couple packages of spices.
Outstanding selection and the price is reasonable compared to other options and the quality is there! Staff was very helpful and the mortar I have been after was 25 bucks cheaper here than other stores. Only complaint is they need more space to display the goodies they have stashed in the back. I will be back!
The owner JP is lovely to talk to and very helpful! The store has a wonderful selection of teas and spices. I love going there for gifts because everything is so nicely packaged. The loose leaf teas are beautiful and I’m excited to keep going back to try all the varieties.
Smells so good in there! They have alot to pic from. Very nice store! Not just Tea, theybhave sugar, salts, pepper and more!
This is a fun place to check out. They have a good selection of spices and teas.
What a fun store. All sorts of spice mixes. Probably not the best place for your standard cabinet spices, but fun spice mixes and interesting sugars and teas.
A wonderful little spot in downtown Portland with a broad spread of salts, sugars, spices, and teas; and the staff are only to happy to help you enjoy samples.
A wonderland of teas, sugars, salts, and spices, along with essentials to work with your ingredients. Lovely service in a lovely store. Well worth a shopping visit!
Visited this place via website and phone call as I arranged a gift to be picked up by my Son. Unfortunately, they do not have a provision for arranging pick up so I needed to talk to a clerk through whom I did the purchasing. This turned out to be a benefit, though, since Ian was quite helpful in telling me about the teas and making suggestions. Would have been nice to be able to do it all online but working with Ian was great as well and he was very helpful.
Loved the atmosphere, and the teas are easily some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend!
Wonderful collection of tea and spices! You will find spices here you won't find elsewhere, It's not cheap, though...😏
Love, love, this place. My son and I went in today and the owner Jon Paul answered all of our questions and was wonderful. Lots of different loose leaf teas, great spices, cool different flavored sugars, and everything you need for that perfect cup of tea. Will definitely be back and recommend visiting when your downtown
I love this place! The quality of the herbs and spices is top notch. The blends are fantastic. JP is such a nice guy, super knowledgeable and always happy to help. It is really sad what all the BS has done to these downtown businesses! I was there today and his nice window was boarded up courtesy of a thrown brick. Ridiculous! I hope downtown survives. Come here and blow your flavor fuse!
I can't even adequately describe the wonders of walking into this store! It smells like heaven, and... mysterious treasures unknown. They had the expected spices and teas, and things I never imagined existed. I could have spent hours in there, just looking and smelling. Alas, I had to run, but will be back to explore after I find more recipes that I must try making with all of the options available at The Spice and Tea Exchange.
The clerk was very helpful!
If you think there can be too much of a good thing, then this place is not for you!
Seriously, the assortment here is bonkers, and I love it!
The staff is always friendly and ready to not just assist, but to make recommendations to help ease the overwhelmed shopper. I love that they put together seasoning kits that you can pick up and it’s everything you need for a recipe besides the actual groceries. It allows me to try new things without having to buy a supply of spices before I know whether I want to permanently add a recipe to my rotation.
My advice? Don’t go in hungry!
An excellent spot for blended loose -leaf teas and bulk spices. Absolutely love that you can open jars to smell the teas and that you can buy small portions to make sure you like them before getting larger quantities.
I don't know why I waited so long to visit this store! It's definitely a new favorite and it's not costly like going to Whole Foods, and the quality is just so much better! I haven't tried all of my teas yet but the toasted biscotti is delicious and soothing. The owner of the store is extremely nice and helpful, and they have an awards program that's worth signing up for!
