The Skinny: great place to find tea or spices with very reasonable prices (5).
FYI - As I am writing this review, I am enjoying a large mug of Formosa peach oolong blend. Delicious!
It was Small Business Saturday Amex promotion last weekend and we were looking for establishments to drop some dough. I was happy to find Sheffield's through the Amex website. So we headed over to Henderson to take a peek.
This store is tucked away in a little strip mall. It is kind of hard to find but it is close to the Lane Bryant part.
I was floored by the variety and breadth of their tea offerings. They have 140 types of teas that range from your typical flavors - English Breakfast, Earl Grey (what I think of as Western Style) to your more exotic (aka more expensive) Silver Needle, Dragon Well, Matcha (Eastern style). They also have your more unconventional fruit flavored teas as well as the herbal blends (peppermint, german chamomile).
There are small glass jars filled with a small amount of tea so you can smell their product without opening up the bags.
I got a massive bag of peppermint tea and medium sized formosa peach oolong (Taiwanese) for about $5-6 each. The hubs got a bag of Japanese styled genmaicha and an unusual roasted Japanese tea for similar prices as well.
We also got two free samples of their island strawberry green tea in the mix. Cool, huh? Preparation method is clearly written on the labels of each of their bags of loose leaf teas.
Also, they have a wonderful spice selection which is actually largely than their tea offerings. I am not talking about paprika - I'm talking like a few different kinds of paprika each to select from. It is almost overwhelming. Not to mention stuff like bourbon vanilla bean paste (how luxurious can you get as a baker?), this place is heavenly for those who like to cook/bake. Considering their stock, prices are quite reasonable.
They also have some oils and vinegars however their selection for this is rather limited compared to their spices/teas.
I can't wait to come back to this hidden gem in Henderson! I highly recommend this place.
