Bought a tea with cash and instead of handing us our change the cashier took our change and put it in their tip jar without saying anything.

The wall of tea is amazing. Be sure to smell all the varieties to find the one you love the most. They do not offer samples, but you can buy a cup of tea if you're unsure. I bought the chesnut, peach and strawberry meadow tea. I can't wait to try them! Staff were very friendly and helpful in recommendations. read more

A wonderful place for your senses ! Such a great variety of spices and teas! Trent the manager was AMAZING!!! He gave us so many ideas (their wild blueberry sugar with mascarpone cheese - SO GOOD!). Don't miss out on picking his brain for recommendations! read more

I go to a Spice Tea Exchange wherever I am traveling and they have one in Savannah... They have sniff jars for the vast amount of tea offerings...offer a couple different sizes for what you may need. They offer a huge inventory on spices and salts and peppers from all over and many little kitchen tchotchkes and gadgets to round out your culinary experience. read more

Wife bought a few selections for me here about 3 yrs ago on a girls' trip so we made a point to visit again when in town last weekend. The proprietors were more than helpful in discussing their teas selections. Open the jars to smell the dozens of different black, green, herbal & even pu-erh varieties, but then you buy the individually-packaged options. I replenished my chocolate black tea & then tried a Chinese green. Previously, I'd also tried the tropical green and crème brûlée dessert tea blend. Stop in & give it a try. read more

This is such a unique spot. Lots of delicious tea and seasoning blends and much more! Associates are knowledgeable and very friendly and helpful. I had the coconut oolong tea (iced) with toasted coconut sugar. It was a smooth and refreshing. Would highly recommend! I'm sure it would be just as good hot. I had a wonderful experience! read more

I stopped by the Spice &Tearthe store one afternoon on my way home from work. I was looking to get a few spices maybe a couple new tea varieties . I I looked around for about 15 mins and I was completely ignored. Welcoming smiles should be the first thing a customer sees.. Be better. read more

Sandy & Andy are two super lovely owners who take great pride in their product and love sharing the stories behind the origins. They are also great at sharing how to get the most from the teas you invest in. Truly a lovely shop and lovely experience! (Do note that they close at 7pm, not 8pm as noted on Google.) read more

The Spice & Tea Exchange - A beautiful description of the types of tea in this shop - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I went into the store because who doesn't like tea and spices. I specifically wanted a tea for night time to help me sleep. The man who was helping me was very friendly and he suggested these two different types of teas. They were a little bit pricey for such a small package but he assured me that I would get at least 4 -6 cups of tea out of each teaspoon or tablespoon. I also bought their mesh ball that you put the looseleaf tea in while at steeps which also helps with measuring. I get home and I try a Beautyrest tea. I liked the flavor of it, although there is something strong in there that I can't quite point the finger at that makes it unique and they have yet to figure out if this is in a good way or a bad way I made one cup of tea. And when I say one cup of tea I'm talking an average size coffee cup. And I left the loose tea in the mesh ball and put on a paper towel on my counter. The next time I went to go make a cup of tea I use the exact same tea that was left over in the ball based on the fact that the salesman told me I should be able to get 4 to 6 cups. My second cup of tea was so weak that it wasn't even worth drinking. I did buy another tea while I was there and I will try to make another cup of tea using the other tea however based on my experience you only get one cup of tea per heaping tablespoon and therefore you will not get anywhere near the amount of tea per bag that they state. read more

They have teas and spices galore. And the man and woman running this store really seem passionate about it all. Seriously, you'll be sure to find both teas and spices you haven't seen in years or better yet ever even heard of. Unfortunately my bad review comes just of the vibes my family felt in here. They have samples of different things and off course when in any store even when you're watching your kids like a hawk sometimes they're so quick and help them selves to an extra sample which ok sorry my sons each took 2 crackers instead of one. But both the man and woman who were working here flew over and tried to lecture not only my 7 year old but my 3 year old. Thanks, as a parent I got it. It's a learning experiencing though we all know kids can be greedy and as I parent I'll deal with that. But to seriously try to lecture my child about samples. Shame on you. I bought my tea to shut them up and left. But I will not be back even though their tea selection is great, the vibes were completely off and there's other places that sell lose tea with way better customer service. read more

Because i love it so much, I'm rarely disappointed in tea shops in general.... and this one was no exception. My sistah wanted some tea. My mum wanted some spices. Lucky for them I know my way around Yelp.. and so we found ourselves in the best of both worlds while walking through the doors of the Spice and Tea Exchange! I believe it was a husband/wife-duo running the place. As we walked in, mum went for the spices and the dude came up to help. Every spice and spice mix is in a large display jar to open and sniff (so are the teas). Mum probably would've gone through opening every jar in the store (which is what I ended up doing with the teas), but since they were closing soon she just told the dude what she was looking for and he pointed us in the right direction. She settled on a custom spice mix of a Spicy Thai Curry While mum was spicing it up I made a beeline for the teas! Two on sample, one cold (mystic dragon) and one hot (jade cloud), with house made simple syrups to add in as you please. Of course I tried them both. While doing so the lady of the store approached. She was super knowledgeable on every tea in the shop... opening the jars, telling me exactly what was in the mix, explaining the region it was grown in, etc. I ended up going with The Gypsy Hippie (minty, floral, herbal tea), Earl Grey Creme (has some kind of petals in it), and Jade Cloud (just a good Chinese green) and I can't wait to get back and try them all. They also had all sorts of tea accessories (pots, cups, strainers, diffuser) as well as some small cooking utensils and stuff to go with the spices. Bottom line? .... if you need Spices or Tea you can't really go wrong here. read more

The couple who owns this shop are the sweetest people I have ever met! I have been coming here since I moved to Savannah. We had a store with the same name in the town I left so I have so happy to hear they had one here. The second you walk in someone is greeting you and telling you the history about the store (It's the oldest one in the state) They also let you know you can pick up any jar and smell anything you would like. (Which during Covid I thought that wasn't all that safe but oh well) The store is laid out nicely. It isn't too overwhelming and each section is well organized. Sometimes if it gets a little too crowded you might start bumping into things but other than that it's perfect. I love coming back for each season and seeing the new teas they have. I came back during the fall and tried their special tea they had and it is to this day still my favorite tea I have ever had! read more

Loved it here!!!! Have been to a few other locations so I was very familiar with this place but the staff was super helpful and I loved all the different spices. Chose a black roasted garlic salt and very champagne mix. Love all the different selections. Prices are a little bit high but that's what you get for novelty items. Definitely check it out if you have some extra time. read more

I'd like to think of spices are adventures just waiting to happen. The Spice & Tea Exchange of Savannah provides the perfect place to start these adventures. It has a bright, spacious and welcoming store. Right when you step in you'll find a long stretch of spices neatly lined up on the wall- some are exclusively one kind of spice, some are pre-mixed spice mixes for you to add directly to your favorite cut of meat, vegetables, soup, root vegetables for roasting. Open up the jars to smell and imagine the taste. The small packs of spice is for you to purchase- a great way for you get a little taste without a big cost commitment. You'll also find exotic rice and teaware in the middle of the store, try the thai purple rice and Himalayan red rice they have amazing textures. The store also has an extensive variety on its salt (pink, grey, smoked, fleur de sel etc) and its peppers (sweet, smoked, and spicy). Dive in and enjoy the adventures :) read more

Just stopped by because we were eating breakfast nearby and found a great spice and tea shop. Owners were very nice people and took time to show me different things they thought I might like. Everything so far has been good. I was feeling a little under the whether and finally made the daily defense tea for the medicinal reasons and was surprised to find out it tastes amazing. Can't say enough good things. read more

Cute little shop! We purchase some of their custom blend spices and can't wait to try them.

This was a great store to shop in. Many spices and teas to pick from. Seek out Julia she's great and has great recommendations. Will definitely go back. read more

Nice products. But overpriced spices and teas. There rent must be high. My sister bought me a tea canister for $29 plus the pumpkin tea small bag. Spices run $14+ and bundle pack 26 . I can get the same or similar for half price maybe at Whole Foods . I did find Salt Table to be priced less for the similar stuff. read more

By far my favorite shop on the entirety of Broughton Street. Walking in, you're greeted with the cozy atmosphere, as well as a very nice staff, who are willing to help and introduce you to the store. The owners, Sandy and Andy, are extremely nice and super knowledgeable about their work. They welcome you in, direct you to the sections of the shop, give great recommendations, and when you buy a tea, they give you all the directions and advice on steeping and heating. 10/10, visit every time I'm downtown read more

Passing by door, the aroma of fine spices from all over the world takes over your senses and pulls you into this magical place. Everything fresh. It smells divine in here. read more

These spices are crazy good, and an amazing variety as well. All of the spices are made by the owners. And they'll tell you, there's no filler in there, so the spices are more robust and effective. Whatever you get, use sparingly, because a little will go a long way. We got some bbq spices and some mixed herb spices for when we get home and back to cooking. Be careful, you will want to take a lot of their products home...so it's a good caution, haha. read more

I've found this little store while walking around town. And I'm so glad, I went in. I guess I've spend an hour there and of course bought some cinnamon, some sriracha powder and some pepper. It was so inspiring to talk to the owner that I'm looking forward to get home to try my new treasures. I'm more than willing to spend the money on good products. If they are as good as I think I will definitely order some to send them home. Don't compare their great products to the ones from major grocery chains. And you don't have to buy the 1oz bags that are on display. If you need less - they make it. read more

I can't shop anywhere without finding a couple of kitchen/cooking stores to explore, and luckily Savannah delivered. The Spice and Tea Exchange is a store specializing in spices and teas, no surprise there. They also have a variety of different (flavored) salts and sugars which is neat. Big jars line the shelves and walls of this store. You are encouraged to pick them up and smell their products, if this didn't come naturally already to you. A description of ingredients and its use are nearby, which always comes in handy when determining what to use them for. Inspiration doesn't always show up, and a little bit of help never hurts. I ended up getting some fish blackening spices which I am excited to start using. From the other end of the store we purchased a blueberry black tea. If this ends up tasting only half as good as it smells, it will be killer. Coincidentally I found small pop ups of this store at Disney a couple of days after my visit to Savannah. I am not sure if it is a chain, but it has the set up to be one and it would probably do well. read more

This place is AMAZING! I bring all of my friends and family here if it is their first time in Savannah. The aroma of spices, sugars, blends, peppers, and teas always create the perfect atmosphere while exploring the store.

My family saw "Tea" and knew we had to stop in, and what was supposed to be a quick perusal turned into a great shopping experience! We were greeted by a friendly staff member who explained how to go about smelling the spice blends and teas as well as pointing out the samples in the back. She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the products, and when she notices my camera, she even gave me some tips on locations where I could snap some views of the Savannah skyline. The atmosphere of the store is very warm and inviting. I felt like I was in a little medieval forest cottage. There were so many spices and teas to experience as well as honeys and sugar blends. They even have suggested and pre packages blends for various cooking needs. I love tea and thought I had tried them all, but they had some very delicious house blends I had to try like Victorian Earl Grey and Chocolate Peppermint. This is a great shop for Tea and cooking enthusiasts! read more

My husband and I visited here while out for my birthday as I love tea. Everyone was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. You're able to smell all of their teas and spices as well as taste a few of the samples that they offer that day. They have several different varieties of spices- of course interesting and exotic ones you can't really find. Great place with downtown parking, but worth the stop when you're in the area! read more

This store is awesome! I'm a big tea snob and this place had all kinds that I never heard of. I only drink loose leaf and this was the bulk of what they had. My family ended up get three different bags of tea to take home with us. The store also has a variety of flavored salt, spices, and rubs as well which all looked really good. The woman running the store seemed to be very passionate about her business and was not shy at all to explain some details about the products and how certain tea sets work. She was really helpful. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that there was a sign that if you bought a bag of loose leaf tea, you would also receive a free "sip-n-go" for making iced tea on the go. I never asked about it when purchasing the tea and that's probably my fault I didn't not receive one but I wasn't sure if the sign was outdated or maybe have expired. Check this store out for sure if you enjoy making tea or cooking and want to try some new flavors! read more

Great service by Andy and Sandy!! They are so knowledgeable and really engage with customers. Had an amazing experience. I can't wait to go home and try out my teas!!! read more

A very nice store to go to . Sandy was very helpful & made sure we felt welcomed . Told us we could smell spices / teas . Even came to explain some of the items we was looking at ; they have recipe cards where they give you the spices and directions . They sell local honey as well as Madagascar vanilla . read more

What an amazing selection of spices and teas! I discovered this shop while browsing shops on Broughton, and since I'm a fan of loose leaf tea I just knew I had to stop in. I stocked up on 3 flavors of loose leaf tea (1 for $4.89 or 3 for $12.95), as well as 2 spice blends (one for desserts, another for Pirates). They also offer a huge variety of single spices, herbs and salts, many not easily found in your average grocery stores. The guy working in the shop was nice and helpful and even mentioned that he heard the company was opening a location near Nashville. I hope he's not teasing, because so far their website only lists one in Gatlinburg, about 3 hours away from Nashville. read more

As if in competition with the nearby "The Salt Table" The Spice and Tea Exchange has lots of spices and, obviously, Tea. It made me imagine what it was like in the past with the exchange of spices being such an important part of food preparation. The staff was very friendly and was happy to answer any question we had. Certainly make this part of your stop if you are looking to add a little flavor or find a special tea. read more

Very cute little niche store. They have lots of spice blends and teas as well as interesting accessories for each...the swivel salt holders were really cool. Samples available. Fun store. read more

Such a fun place! The guy who was helping us out was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we got to try different teas, spices, salts, and other fun, special items at the store. Our favorite was the Himalayan Salt Block, and we actually got one for our grill. it's so cool and yummy to cook on! I loved the salt section and some of the salts smell soooo delicious. I would definitely visit again! read more

Andy, what to say about Andy. Does the man know his teas? The answer is yes. Does Andy know spices? Unequivocally yes. I walked in looking for a simple tea to help my sleepless nights and what I found not only awoke me but opened my eyes. His soft voice snuck up behind me like a kitty cat in the couch. He told me about teas and spices I never knew existed (he likes the salmon rubs). I walked out with 4 teas, 3 spices, a tea leaf maker and a salt and pepper shaker that Andy himself highly recommended. Love the place, and love the man. Andy. I needed a drink after words to calm my nerves as my blood was pumping to all the wrong places, so I skipped down the street to.... read more

This is one of my favorite tea shops that I've been to. They have a wide selection of premium teas. They also have tea accessories. In addition to tea, they have spices, salts, and coffee brewing accessories. You have to buy most of their products in pre-packaged bags. They are reasonably priced because they are specialty teas. The salt can be scraped off to however much you want. A typical bag of tea is about $5. I got bacon salt for about $3. read more

Definitely worth a visit. I don't think they bring anything special to the table with their spices but we loved their selection of salts, peppers, and teas. Try the carrot cupcake tea. It really is as good as it sounds. And the habanero sugar and hickory salt were great finds. read more

This place is amazing. No matter what we are going to cook, Savannah Spice and tea have what we need. The tea blends are yummy and make great gifts. They are very helpful and guide you. Always have suggestions and new ideas as to what may be fun to use. The store smells entice and it's just so much fun. We live here and rely on a few of their blends for our fish and meat dinners. read more

This place was wonderful. The aroma of all the spices makes you want to find a recipe and start cooking. The employees were so friendly and very helpful. They will answer any questions you have and try to help you find the right spice for you. I love how you can also taste the spices. I came here to get some spices as a gift and it was a hit. read more

Awsome shop a spice and tea for every occasion. Staff is very knowledgeable and every packaged spice has a jar next to it so you can smell the spice or tea. The great added bonus is they have receipe cards with the spice packages attached so you can try it and buy the individual spices if you like it. read more

You must stop by here when you're in Savannah and wanting to see a truly kind and generous couple with a successful small business! Sandy and Andy are just adorable and as passionate about tea and spices as they are about making sure you have all the information you need to enjoy their products. There was not one thing I bought for which Andy didn't give me detailed guidance on how to best enjoy. Don't be fooled by the seemingly small packaging of their teas...a little goes a long way, with each little bag making about 100 cups of tea! I am so excited to try out my purchases and share with my family. We were so excited that we went back the next day before leaving town to get a few more gifts for the family at home! Thanks, Andy! Your kindness and passion made a huge difference! read more
