| - Amazing. Was doing some preWedding prep with my folks, when we stopped in this store to check out the teas. I realized that I still needed favors, and that as the fellow and I love to cook, a personalized spice would be a cool gift for our guests. The owner gal worked with our tight budget and ridiculous schedule and got me the sweetest personalized favors a girl could ask for, lightning quick.
But aside from that out of this world customer service, the selection of goods at this store is top notch. I found a bunch of loose leaf teas I've been eyeing to try for a minute, and the pricing is extremely reasonable. Being that it isn't tea weather yet, it may be a bit before I make the trek back to pick some up, but it's nice to know that such a great little shop exists.
What will likely bring me back sooner is the spices. I love to cook, and hate when I have to scour several stores for that one weird spice that it seems all my recipes end up needing. And always a different weird spice than before! Plus, you spend the huge amount for the jar of spice for one recipe and then you have to find ways to use it before it loses its potency. Here, I know I can probably find anything I need, in quantities I can reasonably use.
As a final note the spice I chose for our favors, Tuscany Seasoning, is delicious! We actually added it to a chili and it brightened it up while adding a nice complexity to the "hot spice" portion of the flavor profile. It's one of our best chili's yet, and I'll definitely need to pick up more.
