About

The Next Generation of World Spice

We're continually evolving, always considering our customers' needs. In the Spring of 2023, several changes took place, but the high-quality spices, blends, teas, and the retail store you adore remain the same. We welcome your feedback as we iterate and move into the future together.

Proudly employee-owned.

Our journey involves curating an exquisite collection of spices, blends, and teas from around the globe. Here, you'll discover not only simple recipes but also rare spices, all within a community of cooks who are encouraged to play with their food.

Serving You Since 1995

Our Flagship store adjacent to Seattle’s Pike Place Market is a thriving hub of flavor exploration serving the community since 1995. We will continue to bring our community over 300 selections of pure herbs, spices, handcrafted blends, and estate teas for many years to come.

A Truly Unique Experience

Sourcing fresh ingredients, grinding spices in small batches, and handcrafting our blends in-house allows us to bring you the highest quality spices available. We offer whole and ground spices so you can choose the best way to experience your spices.

The Flavors That Bind Us

For almost 30 years, we've focused on creating a strong community of home cooks. To better serve our community we have launched a Rewards Program, built recipes based on your feedback, and we will continue to iterate on new and even better ways to help people bring joy to cooking.

Broadening Our Horizons

We started as a retail store near Pike Place Market in 1995, opened an outpost in Montana for several years, and now we're operating our warehouse in Durham, North Carolina.

We're so proud to be a member of these communities.
