| - Oh, that smell...
When you first walk into Sheffield's you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. With a combination of hundreds of teas and spices, the smell is something you just can't avoid. Some love it, some hate it. I'm one of the ones who loves it, and if anything, it just makes me want to buy more stuff. Maybe that's their whole plan though. Hmm.
Besides the smell, there's another thing about this place that I absolutely love...the service. We've now been here on a multiple occasions and have gotten nothing but excellent service. Both Rick and Cheryl are extremely knowledgable about their product. Even more important is how passionate they are about the products. I would imagine there isn't a single item in the store that they haven't tried and/or studied to know exactly what it is, what it tastes like, what its used for, etc. From teas to spices and oils, even the physical items, their knowledge of what they sell is absolutely unbelievable. It's also extremely refreshing to see how much time they will happily take with each and every customer to make sure they get what they want. And if you aren't sure, a couple questions from Rick and Cheryl will open you up to a whole list of products that you'll want to take home and try. In my experience so far, none of their suggestions have failed me either.
On our first visit, we stuck mainly to teas. Having really only shopped at Teavana prior, we were definitely new to the types of teas available. Not only did Sheffield carry a whole lot more variety, but their prices put shops like Teavana to shame. After speaking with Rick a bit on our first visit, I took home some darker mate teas that are fantastic. If you are a coffee lover like I am, their Chocolate Nut Mate is a must try. But from that to oolongs, blacks, chai's, etc...everything we've gotten from here has been great. They also even sell matcha straight from the plant sourced directly from Japan. It doesn't get much better than that.
For those who aren't tea drinkers, Sheffield's also carries a huge line of seasonings and oils. We've just now started to venture into that side of their store, and I wish I had a lot sooner. The amount of products that they carry is pretty amazing. You can find several different types of salts, peppers and staple ingredients, but on top of that, they offer a pretty good amount of really hard to find stuff like their new line of ghost pepper products. And if you're a little unsure of what to get, they even make some custom in-house blends that are ready to be used right out of the package. Plus the prices are just ridiculously good. I can walk in here with $20 and leave without feeling like I got taken.
No matter what you come to Sheffield's for, you're bound to leave happy. We live almost 30 miles from their store and pretty much shop here exclusively for teas. Rumor has it their working on opening a location more towards the North. If that happens, it'll be dangerous for my wallet and cabinet space. Sheffield's is seriously a MUST check out and they are the epitome of a small business doing it right.
