The Spice & Tea Exchange can be a fun spot to stop in to browse or to get fun interesting gifts…read more However, many of the teas and spices have a rather strong artificial flavoring despite the ingredients claiming they're all natural. The store is a franchised chain and pricing is on the higher side for teas, spices, herbs, and seasonings. Service felt rather average. The interior is cute with merchandise organized in a logical manner. Personally, I would not return again as I have different tastes in what I'm looking for in teas and spices. However, it could be a decent spot for anyone who likes to try out unique blends.

I love Penzey's Spices. I used to frequent the location they had in Tempe Marketplace, but they no…read morelonger have that storefront. So when I run low on my favorite spices I have to trek to this location. They have such an incredible selection of spices. I like their spice blends, many of which are salt-free so that you can control your sodium intake. And if you need salt, they probably have ten different varieties of that (pepper too!). I'm particularly enamored with their Krakow Nights (Polish spice blends) and their 33rd & Galena Chicken and Pork Rub. I like their spice blends fact that you can buy their spices in small jars or larger jars, and I recently discovered their little sampler packs, if you just want to experiment with new tastes. Of note is also their Arizona Dreaming salt free spice blends fact that is perfect for seasoning chicken fajita strips. I have quite an extensive array of Penzey's in my spice cabinet, to the point that it appears to be an obsession. But I can't tell you how many people I have introduced to Penzey's Spices. The Arizona Dreaming blend is my favorite one to give as hostess gifts or stocking stuffers. Now my friends all understand my addiction... and maybe even share it!

I blew thru the small jar in about a week because we use ALOT of chili powder so here we are. They are conveniently located right near the intersection of Tatum and Shea.

The teas they offered were very different from each other and were spectacular. The food is not made on site which is why reservations need to be made in advance. We dined on items such as crostini, salad, scones, cake and tartlets. Everything was pretty good I thought. The only item I wasn't a fan of was the cake which was too sweet and not very appealing to me texture wise. Service was excellent and you can tell the staff here are passionate about tea.

Bee & Honey Fact: A honey bee worker only makes an average of 1/12th of a teaspoon in her lifetime…read more One pound honey is made by two-million flower visits. Today is #ThankYouThursday and I couldn't think of a better local business that I want to support and show some gratitude to than Twisted Bee Farms! Now we all know the important and crucial part that bees play into the environment so that goes without saying. Twisted Bee Farms is one of Arizona's best places for local honey. They have over thirty flavors of honey, they carry bee products (like honeycomb and bee pollen), and they even have edible flowers. I had ran across their booth at the eighth-annual Arizona Margarita Mojito Craft Beer Food Truck Festival (Yes, that's really the festival name) and I'm a fan now. You can go on their site and find out where they'll be popping up next. They're really big in the farmer's market scene! If you're a foodie, Twisted Bee Farms is not a place to miss. I recently put together one of those Instagram/TikTok butter boards and used their Raspberry & Habanero honey on it and wow! Amazing! I also bought their Carolina Reaper and that stuff, "makes my tongue sweat."

Right around the corner from work…read more Needed Bee Pollen in the worst way. I had been out for 4 days and my local supplier was out.

Can't wait to try their Honey and they are also going to have burritos, ( even vegan ones ) They also have smoothies and Açaí bowls. Can't wait to try it all!!!

I made haste when they announced they were considering closing shop. When I finally did visit, I was not disappointed. I chatted at length with the shop clerk, learned about their natural wine selection, even got to sample a crisp white wine, and explored everything that was part of their eclectic inventory. I came away with quite a few impulse buys, but I really enjoyed the experience! Looks like they're sticking around since they renewed their lease and even started up a new coffee shop/eatery in the same plaza. But I encourage everyone to support this amazing local business and bask in a wack-a-doodle shopping experience!
