a wagon with baskets of food

Loved this place! We all shopped around leisurely tasting spiced items and flavored sugars. The place was not full despite it being the Labor Day weekend. This is the perfect place to pick up a gift or treat yourself to something interesting. There was a lot of tea! But also a counter of flavored sugars, lots of spices, a wall of peppers, and gift sets. I liked that the spices were in various containers so if you wanted a plastic pouch or a classic glass jar you had the choice. Service was outstanding. They offered tastings and ideas on how to use different items. They have quantity discounts in case you want to stock up!

Large selections of spices and teas. It was overwhelming, but the two ladies were very helpful with suggestions. Shopping was enjoyable. Bought several different teas and spices. Was told they will ship purchases also. Very appt with tRia experience.

I walked in to this store recently, just for the smell of it. If a spice or tea isn't sold here, it probably doesn't exist. I mean, it might, but do you really need it? Each wall is covered with perfectly labeled jars with appropriate portions for you to buy of each item. There are also tools of the trade for sale here too (loose leaf tea dipper balls, mortar and pestles, salt blocks for cooking and / or licking, and too many other things to describe or recall from memory. Samples are often provided in the back (but don't get greedy) and it's nice to try before you buy. They even have fresh brewed hibiscus tea for you to sample and wash the other freebies down with. If you're anywhere near the market, you have to make a stop over here ... pick up a tea bag, a shaker of salt, or walk in with no intentions, just for the smell of it.

Sooooo many options at this location. I visited this store as part of a food walking tour. I really liked the truffle garlic seasoning and bought some to take home.

A wonderful shop downtown off the market that specializes in spices and teas. Salts, peppers, spices, and loose leaf teas are here for you to find. Sounds simple, but they have a huge selection that you will be overwhelmed. We usually will pick out a blend to use at home for grilling out, I especially like the coffee blends for steaks. They offer different sizes to purchase, I like the smaller bags more thus you can try it and if you like it buy the bigger size. Though we have a favorite for salmon and have bought the jar size before. Great place to pick up gifts too, just look around they usually have them already packaged to sell, or just make your own. Service is nice and friendly. But I agree with others, the prices are a little high.

Just a few of the things from my haul...

I love specialty shops but I'm always worried about "specialty" prices but this store is very affordable and it has a very welcoming atmosphere where you can smell everything (and I mean everything!!) before you buy it. They even have a few food and tea samples out to give you an idea of how the spices are going to taste. This place is awesome, I wish they had one back home because I want to experiment with ALL of their flavors!! Btw, Hickory Smoked Sea Salt smells like a delicious camp fire!

For years we have patronized this shop just off the Market downtown. Spices, herbs, and teas are only the beginning. Also to be found are rubs, blends, grains, oils, extracts, and accessories. Elevate your cooking with the finest, and sometimes the hardest to find ingredients.

The Spice & Tea Exchange has any type of spice one could ever want or need. I like be able to try and smell all the different spices.

If you're like me and cook for yourself a lot, this place is great. They offer a huge variety of seasonings from taco to everything bagel and have many plain spices like cumin or chili powder as well. They also have 2 whole shelves dedicated to flavored salt and sugar. The tea selection was kind of weak compared to all the seasonings, but they still had some interesting ones. This place is definitely worth a pop into if you're ever in Charleston.

My favorite.. As you can see, it's almost gone

LowCountry Olive Oil in Charleston, South Carolina:…read more I had the pleasure of visiting LowCountry Olive Oil in Charleston, South Carolina and was blown away by their delicious selection of vinegars and oils available for sampling. The variety and quality of their products were truly impressive. From fruity balsamic vinegars to rich olive oils, there was something for every palate. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, providing helpful recommendations based on my preferences. I highly recommend stopping by LowCountry Olive Oil to sample their exceptional products and elevate your culinary experience. They also ship for a flat rate which was great I purchased 4 bottles and had shipped home and a few bottles for my friend. Added to review: I just received my order and I must say the packaging was exceptional.
