The Spice And Tea Exchange Of Tarpon Springs

A great aroma hits you as you enter this clean and inviting shop. A pleasant surprise that is on the same side of the street as the boat tours and not a sponge or loofah in site.
I was on the search for my latest passion, some matcha tea. They had a blend that had sugar in it but being a purist, I enquired if they had any pure matcha. Yay for me, the shop keeper pointed me to a very tiny tin of matcha which he said has been flying off the shelf. $ 7.95 later and I can now make my own drinks or put in dessert or smoothie.
He was quite helpful and offered up a recipe book but isn’t that what Google is for?
Lots of spices and teas to explore. Love the uniqueness of blends.

This store is adorable and has something for everyone. They carry teas, spices, salts, herbs, seasonings, and exotic rices. You’re welcome to open the jars and smell-​test everything. The staff is very friendly and know their stuff! If you need an idea for dinner, just ask them — they’ve got lots of suggestions and the right spices to make your meal (or beverage) memorable.

A very cool little shop to find individual spices and blends. The smell is overpowering, but it is nice that they have huge bins to smell each spice blend before you buy it. The prices seem reasonable, based on the blends I saw. I told the owner I was making Mexican and he pointed me to a small area of shelves with various Mexican, adobo, mole, and barbecue blends. The southwest mix I settled on was really good.

This little gem of a store is amazing! They have such a cute layout & all of the items are packaged nicely. They have all the typical spices, a wide variety of salts, rubs, & teas, lots of specialty blends of spices & rices, cute little knick knacks. Staff is very pleasant & helpful. Highly recommended.

Best place to get spices and teas =)
so clean and fresh smelling. The staff know their spices !

I LOVE the Spice and Tea exchange! When I get the chance, I stop in! There is a blend that I absolutely can NOT go without, and if you want a suggestion. try the Espresso Steak rub. I guarantee that you will thank me.
They have a customer reward program that is –so– worth it. Sotp in and visit, try their blends, you too, will become a faithful returning customer.

Great customer service and products. We will definitely be back. They have every spice, salt, and blend you can think of. Not to mention the teas.

Florida sunshine rub is a great starter be sure to stop in.

Excellent selection of spices and tea. Worth a look if you are in the area. If you get one of the tourist maps in the front of the store you get a free spice if you spend $ 20 or more.

This local business seems to be thriving in Tampa. They now have stores in Tampa at International Plaza and Madeira Beach at St. John’s Pass. Lots of great salts, spices, teas and meat rubs. A little pricey, but the quality is great. We have been using their refillable salt grinders and love the pink himalayan salt. They also have this spice: baker’s secret. I use it on pies, cookies, and baked fruit… delicious!

This is a nice little shop where you can find all the spices you can possible need for your recipes. If you sometimes get tired of the same flavors all the time and would like to try some different flavors this is the store for you. They even have flavored sugars and different types of teas If you are in the area give it a try it is well worth it. Enjoy !!!

This is one of the coolest little shops in Tarpon Springs.
They have some really great spices blends and rubs, various types of salt, flavored sugars, and a nice little selection of tea. I can get spices and tea like this at home but I still really enjoyed browsing here.
They had a bunch of cute little gadgets for sale too.
Sure, they’re pricey… but you’re paying for great quality.

Spice shops seems to be popping up more and more these days. But we still don’t have any in Gainesville.
So when we go to Tarpon Springs we love visiting this spice shop. They have some GREAT spice blends. Let’s face it, when you use top end FRESH spices you get a good product.
We love just browsing smelling and tasting the different spices.

It is very interesting to find a seasoning specialized shop on Tarpon Spring most tourist-​crowded street. People wonder around there are solely for Greek food and buying sea sponges.
I am very fond of this shop, cause I love use creative seasoning in my daily dishes. This shop provide 60plus hand-​mixed signature blends and rubs. No doubt, they are expert! All seasoning are stored in a big square glass jar that you can open to smell. If you like what you choose, just take a small plastic bag on the side and take what you need. Just be careful not to drop the jar. It is heavy. They also sell tea, rice, and salt that you won’t find in Publix.
I took one star off because I think they are little expensive. Will you spend 13 dollar for a 21oz ‘Italian Street Fair spice blend’? Most people won’t.
My confession: I did bought the 13 dollar blend! The shop assistant gave me a nine yard introduction of the shop and its products. I admire his enthusiasm so I took his advice. It is 13 dollar and after I try it, it worthy every dollar and I will go back for more. But I still took one star off because it is not for everyone. I must be fair.
(p.s. Parking is a problem. There is public parking area though but they are limited. Most private parking charge for 3 dollar, but if you don’t mind walking, you will find a free one)

This place is amazing! They have every kind of bulk spice you can imagine! REAL GREEN CHILI POWDER! Dried herbs, Teas that you can make yourself and all kinds of special blends of spices! With or without SALT! They seem expensive, but when you buy spices of this quality, you don’t need as much!
They also have shoppes in St. Augustine, Maderia Beach, ETC. Check this one out for sure!
