I walked into this place for the very first time today and I feel like my life has changed forever! I sound a little too dramatic but I'm serious. I never knew this place even existed. I've walked around this plaza a million times and never noticed this little store of teas and spices.
As soon as you walk in the door you'll be greeted by the different smells of regular and exotic spices. From the basics such as cumin, oregano, etc. to premixed blends for garlic lovers, chicken/beef/fish, they have it all. Endless possibilities for every kind of chef.
I specifically came here for the tea though. I've gone to two different Tea stores today and found them to be too expensive (with very pushy sales people) but this store sells their tea in a smaller amount so you can try them first before committing to buy the bigger packages. Something I like very much since I'm not really a tea drinker but would like to be.
Glad that this place is near my house. The lady that works there (didn't get the chance to get her name) was very helpful and knowledgeable. She talked me through the differences between one and the other and also recommended some blends that may suit my taste.
Will be back very soon.
