I recently moved to Alaska and this place is awesome. They have tons of fresh herbs and spices and sell them by the ounce. Reasonable and good pricing. The tea also looks good with a bunch of traditional ways to make and drink the tea. I can tell the employees seem to like working there which makes a difference. I’ll definitely be back often to get a couple ounces of spices and tea when I could use a refill.
So grateful that Spice and Tea Exchange exists in our community. Its the kind of place you can do to just relax and enjoy a wonderful new experience of the senses. Its also the perfect place for gifts for yourself and others that are thoughtful. Everything Ive purchased here has been loved- no regret. Thank you Liz and the wonderful team for making our community a little better, more joyful and spicy too! Cant wait to swing by this weekend!
Just got the Viks Garlic Fix! Spice Blend with a ground peppercorn mix in, other the needing more course ground and more added in (custom mix 1st time), was very tasty with the bbq cooked today, do recommend them
Best products ever, staff are helpful and nice.
First time in, just by coincidence and we will be back!Only because of Robert! Man does he know his sh*t!He helped us pick out some amazing teas, that have fit our flavor profile exactly the way we asked for.He knows his ingredients, and it’s not JUST the teas he knows about. He helped us pick some amazing salts and sugars for our cooking, was super informative and just perfect.His vibe is incredible, his customer service is fantastic. He knew when we needed help, may have been the deer in the headlights look at all the options but he also knew when to give us space!Man oh man will I be looking forward to the next round of recommendations!Thank you!
Clean shop, knowledgeable owner, love the samples, love the different sizes i can buy to bring home. O! And the products you can buy are so cute!
This place is super cool and I cant believe I havent been in before. The staff is very nice and helpful.
We bought several thousand packets of spice blends to give out tour customers this season due to civid impacts on our traditional holiday events. They have been tremendously well received. Pumpkin Spice, Baking Spice, Ham Spice, and Blackened Seafood Spice.
My favorite shop! 5 plus stars!! Always fresh and they were spotless clean and careful even before Covid-19! Liz, the owner, and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable and have great suggestions even for “non-cooks” like me! Remember to stock up with teas and a variety of spices for your CAMPING and BOATING adventures. A spice blend from the Spice and Tea Exchange doesn’t weigh much or take up space in your backpack and makes any meal gourmet! Here’s a picture of what I have on my boat right now (sorry, couldn’t get the pic to load). My favorites include:Thai Red Curry Spice Blend (great with fresh shrimp, potatoes, onion and some coconut milk for shrimp curry)Everything Bagel Spice Blend (love melting a little, more like a lot, of butter in a fry pan with Everything Bagel and toasting a baguette to go with a spaghetti and salad dinner)Signature Spice Blend (great on veggies or, like last night, on pork chops)Mint Basil Herbal Tea (simply the best!)
I was traveling in Alaska with my family and had a hankering for something refreshing. We have a no chain policy when traveling & as we met closed options, we happened upon The Spice and Tea Exchange. Technically the store was closed; however, at 7:22 PM the door was still open and while Liz was checking out another customer, I cautiously asked if they were closed. She let me know that she would be happy to fix me some tea and once she had finished with a customer, she came over to help me select my tea of choice. It was delicious but even better was her warm customer service.The store is well laid out and has a nice aesthetic.If I were local I would be a regular buying quality spices and tea.
We found The Spice and Tea Exchange on a vacation to Florida at Downtown Disney (before it became Disney Springs). When Liz opened her shop here in Anchorage, we were very happy and have been regular customers ever since. A wide range of spices, teas, sugars, and infusions make this shop a must visit place for any cook, amateur to professional. The shop has a bright, open floor plan, with lots of room to wander and browse the offerings. Liz encourages customers to open and smell the teas and spices. They have just recently added a tea bar where you can get a fresh brewed cup of any tea in the store, or try one of the premium brews. Great store, friendly people, knowledgeable staff.
Great little store with a huge selection. I dont know anything about tea but I was buying tea as a gift. Liz explained everything and was very nice. Keep up the good work Liz!Edit: They also have a decent selection of dry rub.
Superb spice store with exceptionally nice folks and great service. I like the fact I can open the containers myself and smell the spices. The prices were very good too. Excellent collection of spices and also specialty powders, which is nice. I will be back in, maybe for a cooking class too!
Love this store. They have a blend of homemade spices and teas that are delicious. Bought a diffuser there that Im obsessed with. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Have visited them multiple times and they have a great selection for a great price. Wonderful place to pick up a small gift for a family member or friend. Staff is incredibly helpful as well.
Magnificent store that greets and welcomes you with beautiful aromas. Great selection and energetic knowledgeable staff makes this a regular stop for us. Definitely recommend going in. You won’t walk out empty handed!
Love this shop!! Visiting from Georgia and will be having my special blends shipped to me!! Great staff and so knowledgeable!!
Good fresh nutmeg n some really good spices and teas. 100% great
Great selection, personal customer service, fantastic community engagement! It is so nice to be able to buy the amount of spices that you need and not have stock piles going stale in the cupboard. Most of the times that I stop by I find the owners on site.
This is the best Tea Shop in Anchorage hands down! Love their Jasmine Pearls Green Tea. Owner and Staff are AWESOME!
Wonderful place! We really enjoy stopping by to try new teas and spices! Also tons of great stuff for gifts!
Amazing! They have a fantastic selection and a highly knowledgeable staff. Some of the best teas Ive ever had. The cooking classes they offer are very affordable some of the most informative Ive taken.
Awesome selection, always personable!
Alaskan owned franchise with all the customer service a local shop should have. Fantastic selection of sugars and teas. Liz went above and beyond for Christmas. This is a great addition to south Anchorage .
Fun gift shop, they are so friendly and willing to jump to it to give excellent service.
Very well set up clean very welcoming friendly great prices
Awesome spice selection and great prices.
Great selection of teas, spices, and herbs. Friendly and helpful staff. Very nice place.
Always a favorite where we take visitors.
Nice selection of teas and spices, but no restroom. How can you serve beverages but not have a restroom for customers?
Very helpful staff. Also they have a big selection of teas and spices.
So glad we have another option in town! I got fed up with the terrible customer service I repeatedly experienced at the tea & spice store in Midtown and started ordering everything online. Im SOOO glad that Anchorage has another option for bulk spices and teas. I went in for the first time this morning and Liz was prompt, knowledgeable and helpful. I got everything I needed and a little bit more.
Love these Ts
Great company, awesome selection, and well managed.
