The Spice & Tea Exchange

Drove 20 min on a Saturday at 4pm to find the place closed for no reason. :(. The inside shows signs of being in business. Not sure what the deal is.

I love this place! Loose leaf tea, yes! The aroma you can smell outside the store, and it just draws you in. They carry a wide variety of loose tea, spices and accessories. I am drinking (and loving) the Rooibos Chai tea I purchased there earlier today. The store owner was very helpful, answered my questions and made recommendations about teas to try and infusers. If there is anything I would suggest, it would be carrying other loose leaf teas (with health benefits) such as Pau ‘d Arco, and maybe offering an in-​store kiosk that helps you choose teas based on different health ailments or goals.

I’m giving this 3 stars because of the variety of interesting spices, teas, rubs, etc. that they have. Most of them are pretty unique. I’d love to try them all… this of course leads us to the «But…»
But…the prices are nothing short of absurd. Almost $ 10 for 1.5 ounces of flavored sea salt? $ 5 per ounce for meat rubs that I can make at home? Up do $ 50+ for a mortar and pestle. I saw one like the one I have at home for 3x what I paid for it.
Making a profit is always good, that’s what you work for, but this goes way beyond that.
However, the store is fun to explore and gives you ideas for making your own blends at home. And it smells really, really good. :)

The employees really know what they are talking about and do a great job explaining all of the varieties of spices and herbs and make great suggestions while subtly up-​selling you with more options. I do not mean this in a negative way, because everything they suggest I find that I cannot live without the second they tell me about it.
Where this place shines is in the spice blend/​rub department. They have the usual steak rubs and whatnot, but also some unusual suspects. Chipotle sugar? Yes please. Hot tip: get the truffled sea salt. Use it on everything. Then thank me every day for the rest of your life.
In summary, I spent 15 minutes in here an magically became broke. Until that day, I did not realize that I absolutely could not live with 7 varieties of salts. Now I see the light.

Holy tea lover paradise! This place is amazing all around! From everyday spices, to rubs to tea blends! Amazing selection and very helpful staff! A little pricey but worth every dime!

This place is phenomenal! If you’re a tea drinker you’re going to be in heaven BUT if you’re a foodie, like to bake, cook, grill, or even are a Professional Chef, this store is packed with creative ideas to elevate whatever it is you’re making to the next level! It definitely isn’t just your average spice store. They have unbelievable spices, spice blends, seasoned, smoked & flavored salts, peppers & sugars, delicious teas and tea blends and all the tools and accessories you can think of to use and to store premium spices & teas. Whenever I need a gift for someone That I don’t know what to buy or I think has everything, I shop here. However, with Thanksgiving next week & Christmas coming I went in to find a few things to create special holiday cocktails and use on the rim of my cocktail glasses. So on this trip I bought Habanero sugar, salted caramel sugar, ginger sugar, Lime Frost Salt, and a delicious Bloody Mary seasoning! I highly recommend this store!

Incredible selection of herbs and spices. Their custom blends are amazing as well. The décor of the store is a perfect compliment to what they sell.
The only dilemma is the pricing; high enough to make you cry. I bought a spice container at Bed Bath & Beyond that was half the price of the same one here; kinda expected when comparing to discount seller like Bed Bath & Beyond but still way more than expected. I normally buy cooking supplies at a not-​so-​cheap hi-​end kitchen supply store (in Key West) and yet the Spice & Tea Exchange was selling the same mortar and pestle for considerably more money.

As a tea drinker, this place is heaven… they sell everything you need to brew loose teas and they sell every loose tea under the sun. You can even smell them before you buy them, its heavenly. The girls who work there will set you up with everything you need and won’t try to sell you stuff that you don’t need/​want. My favorite teas are the White Tea, Jasmine and Cocconut.
If you are a chef or enjoy cooking… they have wonderful spices too! The store is attractive and feels very «homey», with wooden floors and big glass cannisters. I think its a great addition to Mizner park.

This is an absolutely wonderful tea, spice, and herb shop. Every imagineable spice and herb for all your cooking needs. And the greatest thing is you buy the amount you need, not a large bottle that goes stale before you can use it all. I will be going to this great shop for years. Very knowlegeable and friendly staff.

After brunch and a bit of walking through Mizner Park, we see a lot of prepping and movement… We decide to see what’s all about, and to our luck is the opening of this store.
I LOVE it!!! It’s all about loose teas, different type of sugars like strawberry sugar, coconut sugar, even a spicy habanero sugar. They have a wide variety of sea salts, which I had tried at a restaurant in HK and didn’t know if I could find here. They even sell the rock salt so you can shave it yourself. They have mixed herbs, ready to condiment your appetizers, salads, meats. We also tried the mulled wine, made with one of their already packed spices. Toppings for nuts, for hummus, to add flavor to your dressings and oil… I’m telling you, it’s a whole new world of flavors in there, and you can find more recipes online.
They owners, you can see they’re very excited about their new store. They were very helpful, explaining all to their customers, and making sure everyone was enjoying the sampling and Grand Opening. They also have gift sets, super cute tea accessories, and sugar and/​or salt servers/​containers.
Wish them the best of luck, since I want to keep visiting them for more amazing flavors and cooking ideas.
