I love that they have everything in jars which you can smell before you purchase. I purchased 2 teas bourbon chestnut and creme brulee, I was surprised by the sweet and strong aroma of both but when I made the creme brulee it did not taste as good as it smelled! The bourbon chestnut was delicious! I purchased 1oz if both which were $7 each which is kind of pricey but the 1oz is enough to make several cups of tea so I think they were worth it. I look forward to coming back here to try other things! The staff were also very kind and friendly!

I don't know when this shop was started, but in any case, you can literally find any spice here. There's a tall chalkboard with 4 columns listing a gazillion spices and managed to get my hands only on a 'small' $8 Turmeric mason jar and some loose Jasmine leaves I needed. Service was nice and I was actually schooled on some of her spices I was unsure of.

I sampled a few different blends of peppers and spices and found my favorite, "Buried alive" "pure ghost chili" by Eagle rock and coyote farms. This sauce definitely has the heat but it also has great flavor thanks to the perfect blend of peppers/spices. They actually make a hotter sauce but it didnt have the full flavor of this sauce, it was only hot, not flavorful like buried alive. I would buy this by the gallon if they sold it that way. Mmmmmmm

They surprisingly have a wide variety of organic spices, nuts, lentils, and ingredients you wouldn't even imagine they would have, such as their organic cocoa butter, which we have yet to find at another local shop. It was so much fun just wandering around the store and discovering everything. Everyone there is so nice and welcoming too. My absolute favorite thing here is their Mango Lassi, it is $4.95 and it is perfection. It may be the only lassi better than the one I make at home. If you are as obsessed with mango lassis as I am and want to try one the makes it better than most (if not all) of our local restaurants, then please save one for me.

Came in to find me some candles for wicca and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of colors they had at decent prices.

The owner was nice; they didn't have black in-stock but he tried looking for me anyway and that effort mattered. He was warm and expressed a tone of gratitude which I found lovely! I will be returning back if I need an obscure ingredient for a recipe I've been dying to cook! They also have henna, etc. as well as more imported things that you are unlikely to find anywhere else. Def would recommend if you want to support a small business!

Upon walking in, the vibe is absolute perfection! Beautifully displayed cheese and a range of other delicious looking products. Before selecting cheese, I grabbed beet hummus and gluten free crackers. I moved on to the cheese counters and received fantastic help from the staff. They have an outstanding selection of delicious cheese. I wasn't pressured into buying certain amounts and was even offered a taste before selecting cheese. We went with a Smokey blue cheese from Oregon and an amazing Gouda from the Netherlands. We impulsively added some pesto. Later that afternoon, we enjoyed both cheeses and the beet hummus with the gluten free crackers. A 1/4 pound of each cheese was more than enough for a great afternoon snack! I look forward to returning when I'm back in Beacon!
