Hey , I came here sometime this year and bought a Tea blend called calming nights . I thought the blend was very refreshing ! I drink tea with no sugar or honey to get full benefits! The blend didn't help with my sleepless nights but I'll down back to maybe try a different kind . Not sure if freshness plays a part in herbal teas. I wish they had sea moss. Service was great , ambiance is very earthy and smells amazing . read more

My wife and have been in several times and always come out with something new. This time I picked up a recipe card for a Maple Syrup Old Fashioned. So we got a bottle of Bourdon aged maple syrup and some other pairings and off we go. So tonight I decided to give it a try. The wife loves fixing me new drinks to try. So we followed the instructions and I have to say it's good. Sweeter than a traditional old fashion and that could be adjusted by cutting back on the syrup. But dang could. I was going to leave a review on their site but does not have this drink listed - must be new. read more

Wanted to spice up my dinner meal prep tonight (chicken) and decided to give this place close to home a shot. The selection of salts, peppers, spice blends and even tea selection was HUGE. Everything was laid out easy to find and there were also jars for you to smell whatever spice you were interested in! Service was also super friendly and patient with helping me find the perfect flavor. Honestly there's so many unique flavors that no matter what you're cooking whether it be meat, fish, dips, teas that you're bound to find a flavor that catches your fancy. I went with a maple bourbon jalapeño spice blend to pair with my chicken and it turned out amazing! If you're trying to spice up a party you're hosting and get compliments on your "secret" seasoning or you want to change up the flavor in your meal prep, take a stop here! read more

This is a cute spot in La Centera, there is plenty of parking either in the street or a parking garage. When you walk in there is a nice aroma. They have flavored sea salts, spices, blended spice and teas. The owner is very nice and knowledgeable. There was a smoked bacon sea salt, that was soooo good. This visit I only bought tea, the was a lot of seasoning that I will have to try. I will be back!! read more

The spot was hard for me to find as someone who has never been in that area or strip before. Definitely use the maps posted in the area. The employees were super kind, ambiance is small, clean, and quite. They had what I needed and prices seem reasonable. read more

Fantastic Spices. It's pricey but you can tell a real difference in taste and aroma. I purchased ginger cinnamon and nutmeg. Excellent read more

The main lady who works there is super knowledgeable on the teas and really lovely to talk to. She gives great recommendations as well as answers any questions you have on any of the teas or spices. I've gone there 3 times now and only plan on buying tea from there. I've had strawberry cloud, banana nut, pumpkin Chai and a few others. We also got a variety of spices, ive only tried one of them so far (Jamaican jerk) and loved it. The shop is very organized and laid out perfectly. Very chill and relaxing. Entrances on both sides letting in alot of natural light which is perfect when trying to read all the packs and labels. We love going in and smelling all the teas, we always aim to get new ones read more

Check out their website. If you love spices and loose tea this place is for you. I found some truffle salt which was stronger than I expected. I also picked up some hickory smoked salt which I didn't know existed. I would like to buy one of everything in this store actually. Location is always busy. read more

I love this shop! All the teas are fantastic, I love the infused honey, and the customer service is great! Ann W is always so friendly and gives great recommendations! read more

Salt, sugar, custom blends, tea - what a place to be! There are just so many options inside a cool little store! There's designated places for all the previously mentioned, and it's so hard to choose! There are mixes of different sugars, salts, blends, tea that there's sure to be something you want or need to try. I finally settled with rosemary basil sea salt, coconut thai spice, and ghost pepper sea salt. My friend got the strawberry batch of tea and spices which I didnt see. I think I want to get that next time or try another spice seasoning! read more

Lovely little place offering a variety of teas and spices. Went here for the first time to try out some teas. We ended up going home with a green, a blueberry, and a strawberry fields tea. We love all of them. The blueberry one was our favorite to make iced. We'll definitely be back to try out more and maybe some of the spices too! It was definitely difficult to choose which ones to get there's so many delicious options. The worker was very helpful and sweet too! Definitely recommend this place read more

Excellent customer service!! Buyer BEWARE!!! Easy to $$$$$ as the spices get thrown in a bucket!! While fun filling in the process! Awesome store!! I'll definitely be back!!! read more

I really love this shop! It smells great and looks very cute. I have tried a bunch of different teas here and gotten a few tea infusers and candles! I really enjoy talking to the employee, Kara, whenever I come in. If you're in La Centerra definitely stop by! :) read more

UPDATE: Interesting how life works... a few years ago my husband and I visited this shop and we had a very unpleasant experience. So much so that I never saw myself coming back. Well... I can't tell you what made me stop in yesterday, but I'm extremely happy I did! From the time I walked in the door Ms. Jocelyn was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Their teas and spices are amazing! This experience was so much better than my first. Thank you so very much Ms. Jocelyn! read more

Just looking around and found this really cute shop that peaked my interest. Was greated by owner and her Assistant. They were really sweet and told us how to go about in the store. If you love to cook and spices are your thing. I highly recommend you to stop by and check them out. You can sample and buy a small or big bag of spices, sugar, tea or cute spoons and other cooking utensils. read more

Great place for gifts and delicious teas. The customer service was excellent as well. We will be back!

I love this store! They have a wonderful selection of spices and teas. They carry over 140 spices, 75 hand mixed blends, sugars, salts, teas, gifts, and accessories. They also have unique types of rice, including bamboo rice, which is green and is made with bamboo juice. There is another location in Galveston, on the strand. read more

If you are other than caucasian, dont come here. The 2 ladies who were attending to customers surely are customer service friendly bit I guess I wasn't caucasian enough to offer their services. They sure did for the folks before me and after me. It is a sad sort of affairs. If it wasn't for the last narwhal tea strainer, I would have left and that is why they have a 1 star. I am close to half a century old and this is getting to be tiring and sad. read more

I had the best experience here today! It was my first time in and I stopped to buy some teas as Christmas gifts. I wasn't really sure what I was looking for but Jocelyn; the owner helped me right away by giving excellent recommendations and samples. She answered all of my questions and gave me the run down of ingredients, etc. They had so many great options that I ended up buying six teas, some sea salts, sugars and some other miscellaneous items. I ended up buying some stuff for myself that I can't wait to try! During this whole shopping experience I had my two year old with me that wanted to touch everything! Jocelyn was so patient and kind with him. She gave him items to play with and let him have a rock candy that he wouldn't stop asking for. It also started to rain really really heavy while we were in the store so we stayed for awhile to let it pass and she entertained my son so sweetly and gave him glow sticks. She was his best friend quick! I had a great time there today during my extended shopping trip and came away with lots of great gifts! Great store and great owners! read more

They have everything and more for tea, coffee and seasoning your food. The staff is so nice and knowledgeable and the store is super cute. They have a wall of various sugars that I never need existed. Check this place out. It really neat. read more

I love this little shop! Even though I had read a bad review (apparently from a disgruntled person) I decided to give it a shot and fell in love with it. I'm so glad I did! And BTW, my friends who were with us and not "too Caucasian" did not feel slighted in any sense. The owner, Jocelyn, and two of her employees all greeted us and offered their advice. They were all so sweet and when I came back to buy a tea, they didn't hesitate to help me. read more

For my first visit I walked in and instantly got a warm and cozy feeling. I love to cook and I love everything that comes with cooking so this was right up my alley. The selections they have are fresh and unique which I did not expect at all. They create their own mixes and the customer service was so wonderful. The owner was very knowledgeable that I ended up purchasing over 12 items and I cannot wait to try them all. Urge you to go in if you're in the area, well worth it! read more

I'm not much of a cook but i always appreciate every suggestion Jocelyn and the other girls in the store have given me. I like the smaller sizes to try new creations before committing to a larger purchase. I have found myself always stopping in to buy myself something and to buy gifts for others. Recently they helped me make a new loose tea brewing pitcher and I absolutely love it! Thank you! it's always a pleasure to stop by and browse and shop. See you soon! read more

We just had the pleasure of meeting Tori who works here! She was very knowledgeable of the teas, spices, and herbs. She made us feel very welcomed and had awesome charisma and work ethic. We will definitely be coming here in the future to visit her and pick up spices and herbs from this establishment! They even had different types of sugars that were offered, excellent tea options, cocoa spiced hot chocolate, all the herbs you could imagine. And Tori knew which ones were could for digestion, muscle relaxation, sleep, as well as weight loss! Well definitely be coming back here again!! We are tea fanatics who were just stoping by and visiting but the impression was a memorable one! read more

This is one of the best Spice and Tea stores I have shopped. Lots of great custom blends and some unique spices that I've haven't seen outside of much more expensive specialty stores. The staff is very nice and friendly to everyone including 4 legged friends. Helpful suggestions too. One of the young ladies helped me find a new spice blend to try on chicken my Big Green Egg and it will now be part of my regular rotation. Thanks Erin read more

Great selection of spices and flavored salt/sugar. If you love to cook / grill, or love tea, this is your place!! Quality is above all else!! Eileen is the best!! read more

I was visiting relatives in the area when we found this shop and was immediately blown away by the selection of spices, herbs, and teas. The shop is a small business, and is run that way with the owner Jocelyn taking personal interest in each of the customers that come through their doors. Since then, I have continued to order my spices and herbs from this store, and Jocelyn herself takes the time to pick everything out, pack it, and mail. There really is no replacement for that kind of commitment to customer service, and definitely a welcome change to your typical retail experience. Some people may not be down for that, and find it annoying when they can't get immediate attention, or when things take longer than usual, but if you are looking to take time and really get to know the businesses you are spending your money at, then honestly this is where you should be going. I know I can probably get my spices and herbs from a big store for less, but I am fortunate to be able to have a choice to go with the Katy Spice and Tea Exchange. It also goes without saying that the quality of the product is definitely higher: anyone who is particular about their spices and herbs will immediately recognize that the ones from this store are better sourced and curated, resulting in spices and herbs that are as close to drying them yourself from a garden as you can get. read more

I've been into this specific spice and tea location on several different occasions. I am just a younger guy trying to broaden my skills in the kitchen and understand spices. The owner of the store was there each of the days I was in and she was such a wonderful help. She took the time to not just answer my questions but give me additional tips and ideas for what blends I should try next. I love that she took the time to help me understand the products. She has made it a very welcoming experience for me each time and I really do look forward to going in again to try even more of their products. read more

What is up with this place? We've tried to go twice in the last couple of months to stock up on tea during posted hours. One time on a Sunday at 1:00 when they're supposed to be open at noon, another time on a Saturday at 10:30 when they said they open at 10:00. We waited until 10:45 and still nobody opened. I give up! Really want to support our local stores but I'll buy my tea and spices from somewhere else. It's super inconvenient and disappointing! read more

Wonderful store, reviews complaining of racism are probably made by a competitor or someone with an axe to grind.
