Great place to get tea. Wide selection. May seem pricey, however, when u compare the actual amount you are getting for the price by weight and the quality of the tea it is reasonable. Everyone in the store is always so nice and accommodating, I have had some lovely chats with the staff. My favorite tea in the Prickly Pear Black Tea. Tastes wonderful hot or iced. Not over flavored or artificial tasting like some flavored teas you may have tried elsewhere. A perfect blend. Try it you'll like it! A true Arizona gem. The only slight issue with the store is that it is in the heart of the touristy area of Old Town Scottsdale, so finding parking anywhere near the store can be a frustration at peak times. I wish they had a couple dedicated grab and go spots out front. P.S. Another thing I love about this place is you can pick out any of their teas and they will brew you a cup which you can get hot or iced to try before you buy. read more

The Spice & Tea Exchange can be a fun spot to stop in to browse or to get fun interesting gifts. However, many of the teas and spices have a rather strong artificial flavoring despite the ingredients claiming they're all natural. The store is a franchised chain and pricing is on the higher side for teas, spices, herbs, and seasonings. Service felt rather average. The interior is cute with merchandise organized in a logical manner. Personally, I would not return again as I have different tastes in what I'm looking for in teas and spices. However, it could be a decent spot for anyone who likes to try out unique blends. read more

Mmmmm! The aroma in this tea shop is wonderful! We were greeted by a nice young lady who showed us the various teas and encouraged us to smell the various blends! We were steeped in pleasure as we sampled the different types and our olfactory senses were intrigued. The store was laid out well and super organized. I bought several bags including an earl grey with lavender, a few prickly pear blends, and an interesting hazelnut cookie black tea. Can't wait to try them all! Yes, the prices were a tad high, but that's to be expected in a "brew-tiful" specialty shop in a tourist area! read more

Recommend: Yes, literally a Tea with innumerable scents and flavors, cute products and super stylish enclosure. Stopped in because my entire family loves tea, especially with out English background. The variation of teas here are impressive. You can get a good whiff from the main jars before you even purchase them. The shop is quaint, cute, filled with little intricacies surrounding all things kitchen items and even select, local honey. It's a beautifully clash decor of rustic, Americana and old school but well lit, super busy and realistically, very well priced items. Met the owner and was very impressed with our conversation. They have gone the distance to create incredible appeal everywhere you look from shelving to presentation, and in providing items you can't find down the street or in big box stores, and for that, they've kind of cornered the market, here, per se. Very well done and would recommend you come ready to try a new tea today! read more

Pampered!! Shopping in Old Town Scottsdale and perusing the stores. It was hot and we thought, hey let's stop in here and get some iced tea. Well, let me tell you, this is more than just "tea". They've got an outstanding variety of both caf and decaf teas. Scattered among the teas were jars and packets of all sorts of spices too! It was actually hard to know which way to look. Cute little accessories, cups and trinkets. They had samples of teas and spices in the back, however the woman serving said she could brew any flavor we wanted. We opted for a combination of Blood Orange and Peach tea! It was refreshing perfection! We even stopped back in for more ice, they gladly provided. We sampled many spices. Back with the tea brewing they offered little sample cups of seasoned popcorn and oyster crackers. The Italian blend they had on the crackers sold me. We've tried it on veggies, pork shops and shrimp. Yummy! The ladies were really helpful, friendly and sweet. They had suggestions for nearly every spice. They also recommended tea flavors for our liking as well. We felt like we had personal shoppers. It was a wonderful experience. Cool layout of the store, loved it there. Who knew stopping in for "an iced tea" would turn into one of our favorite shopping places that day! Thank you!! Can't wait to come back. read more

The Spice & Tea Exchange - Yummy tea!!! Yummy spices!!! Excellent staff, so friendly and helpful. - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

TEA TIME!!!This is a cute tea and spice store. They were very welcoming when I entered the shop. I believe an employee by the name of Carol assisted me. She was super nice and took time to show me around the store and explained the teas. There are so many tea flavors to choose from. It appeared there were lots of spices to choose from too. The store was very clean and organized... It was definitely tea time! They also sell brewed tea and lots of tea items like tea cups, tea pots, infusers, all kinds of items. I definitely will go back soon. read more

So many tea/seasoning to pick from the smell is amazing. The workers was very nice and was there for assistance if needed. I was getting so overwhelmed with all the choices to pick from. But if you love tea this is the place, if you love cooking and love spices this is definitely the spot. read more

If you're looking for tea, this is the place you've been searching for! Great shop with many, many varieties to choose from. They also sell salts (who knew there were so many!), spices, tea paraphernalia, and beverages. We'll go back next time we're in Scottsdale. read more

Love this tea shop! The owner Lisa and her team have provided me with great customer service every time! The staff is very knowledgeable and the shop has a lot of varieties! From spices, sugars, salts, and teas! If you are in the area check them out! read more

Service- 5/5 Ambiance- 5/5 Food- 5/5 This is the CUTEST little spice shop in Downtown Scottsdale, got to shop and smell around to see what we wanted and settled on a sampler pack of seasonings and the raspberry sugar. Side note: The raspberry sugar made an awesome old fashioned, not traditional, I know, but delicious nonetheless. The spices have yet to be used, a bit on the pricier side but definitely worth trying. read more

Exquisite! That is the word I would use to describe this gem of a shop. Upon walking in the front door, the organization of the spices and teas was perfect. Staff were friendly and helpful. Variety was spot on! I have not been to such an amazing loose tea shop in years. Well worth driving to. I would highly recommend the Spice and Tea Exchange to anyone whom truly appreciates quality teas and spices. I was looking to source a custom blend of tea and was hoping this would be a one stop shop. I picked well. This shop is a hidden gem that is well worth your time. If you or someone you care about loves tea, this is the place for you. Perfect gift ideas. Perfect for those of you whom appreciate herbal tea remedies or simply for the love of tea! The Spice and Tea exchange will NOT disappoint you. read more

What an incredible sight and array of smells inside. You are immediately greeted with an unfamiliar yet familiar smell. That is because every spice in the world can be found here. They also have a huge selection of floral, black and green teas. They even have a station that sells freshly brewed tea if you want to sample before buying. Despite the impressive selection, the prices are definitely not cheap. There are definitely asian markets that sell what you can get here for significantly cheaper prices but the convenience of it all being in one spot is hard to beat. Almost everything I bought here was quite satisfactory. The teas were clearly fresh and the spices used in my dishes were rewarding. As you know, every curry in the world is a tad bit different. Some places will use more or less turmeric and etc.. The curry I bought here created some of the most delicious chicken curry I've ever made. I am glad I stopped by here on that particupar day for a refreshing cool drink. read more

I loved this store from the moment I walked in and smelled the delicious spices. So much to chose from. Spices, salts, teas, gifts, candles and more. I chose couple of spices and salts for my cooking adventures ahead. One thing I love most was the rose infused salt, great for sprinkling on salads, appetizers and drinks. I did get delicious flavored teas as well. Overall a great place to shop for spices and gifts for all the goodies and chefs in your life. Prices are on the higher side but quality and freshness sells it. read more

Right after brunch, my sister and I decided to brave the Arizona summer and walk around old town. I'm glad we did because we stumbled upon this tea store and didn't know how long it's been there. We usually hit up jewelry and clothing stores, never food places other than a sit down spot. Walking in, you can smell all the spices available at your fingertips. I do not drink coffee... I'm a team gal so this store was made just for me! Lol My sister also cannot have caffeine so the really sweet ladies that worked there helped her look for teas that were decaf. She found a mango tea and ask to have an iced tea brewers for her so I followed suit and got an elderberry kind. It took a good 5-10 minutes of waiting around but there were a lot to see. Once the tea was stepped, we took our first few sips and were inlove. We each got a back of the mango and the elderberry to go. Needless to say, before I went on vacation, stopped by the store and grabbed some more to bring to my sister in Texas! Worth a stop here for fresh iced tea on a very hot day! read more

The stuff they sell is good, but I was just inside and a woman (their customer) fainted while was on the way out of the store, fell of the ground, had a seizure, then came to her senses and started throwing up, then said she needs to use the bathroom, that it's very bad and it's an emergency, but the manager of the store wouldn't let her!!!! then paramedics came, asked the manager of the store again if she can come in and use the restroom cuz the woman was literally BEGGING for it, but they still wouldn't let her!!!!!! This is some human indecency!!! Just awful!!! read more

Great Spice blends and friendly service! They also have a loyalty program so that's pretty cool! Next time I definitely want to get an ice tea while I'm there. Worth checking out if your in the area. read more

This is the cutest spice boutique I have ever experienced. For starters, it smells amazing in here. This spice exchange is located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. My fiancé brought my Mom here a few weeks ago & they can not stop talking about the popcorn seasoning. I personally was excited to smell the different tea options. They have so many different spices, seasonings & teas. They also have a lovely barista in the back of the store who will brew your teas on demand. I can not wait to cook with the spices I purchased. I will definitely make this one of my "errand runs" in the future. All of the staff was friendly & encouraged us to try everything! Super cute boutique :) read more

My first experience with The Spice & Tea Exchange was at the Sedona location. I loved walking around and looking at all of the wonderful options. Friendly, relaxing atmosphere. I love trying new spices and have fallen in love with the ones I picked up. Time to re-order from their online store since I don't live close to either of the two AZ locations. My top fave spice thus far: Kahuna Garlic Salt Spice Blend Yeah, it's just another garlic salt (LOL), but truly I LOVE this blend and it is different than the many other options I've tried over the years. Try it...I think you'll agree. :-) read more

Usually always enjoy shopping here and bringing visiting friends and family from out-of-state to browse around and get some delicious teas. Every once in a while, I get a high-pressure staff person who's trying to get me to buy things that I'm not interested in, and that can discourage me from shopping here more often. read more

This is a perfect place to take goodies back home or make a special gift for friends and loved ones. Spices are a bit pricey but they are quality ingredients. If you are looking for various salts, they have many to choose from. I'll be back to create Christmas gifts...perfect size to ship too! read more

Went in one weekend last month to get a birthday gift for an important person in my life. Let me start by saying I couldn't believe how much variety was in this place, and the staff were absolutely wonderful. I went in there with my family and my dog and he was given so much love and attention. Overall, has a very wonderful experience. My gift was a hit, as was the tea I got for myself. Absolutely worth stopping if you were thinking about it. You can also buy an ice cold drink on the spot if you so desire. Family friendly, dog friendly, gift friendly. 10/10. read more

This was my first time in here, but I will definitely be coming back. I have never really been into tea drinking so I thought why not try something new? Instantly there's so many options to choose from and I don't even know where to start, then Amanda (an employee/associate) came to the rescue to met all my needs. She had great recommendations and knew exactly where every tea was, educating me on the taste, different types, and what effects you get from drinking them (sleepy, energetic, etc.) It was very organized and well laid out, truly an amazing experience. Thank you Amanda for your help! read more

My friend and I were in town visiting and came across this gem while walking around Old Town. The entire staff was not only knowledgeable of their product, but also so friendly and personable. What a cool selection of not only unique and different spices and teas, but also hard to come across ingredients like sumac! read more

What a gem!!! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with amazing scents--between the spices, teas, and candles, the hardest decision I had to make was "how much can I fit in my carryon bag back home" Abbie was so sweet and made the perfect recommendations for my ideal candle scent and perfect seasoning to add a little zest to my eggs, chicken, salads and fish as I prep for my upcoming competition. And Justine couldn't have been kinder with her suggestions of "must see" places while I was in town. It was pretty cool that she was from my neighboring town back home :) I left not only with the perfect candle and seasonings, but a few great friends for when I eventually move out west! Def check it out and tell them "Kate says Hi!" read more

I've been to this location a few times, but I won't return. Rude and condescending cashier. An older lady named Patti. She was friendly to the Baby Boomer shoppers. There is NO excuse for her rudeness. Very disappointed. You've lost a customer due to bad service. read more

Have ordered from them numerous times. Great for finding those unusual spice ingredients. They always come through

This is a great new shop in Old Town Scottsdale, which I learned just opened two weeks ago. Walking in, the place smelled amazing. They had a big selection of loose teas one wall and an equally large selection of spices.on the opposite wall. I also noticed a variety of salts - Himalayan, flavored salts, sea salts. If you like tea, stop in and be amazed by all the flavors they have. If you like to cook with various seasonings and spices, stop in. I know I'll be back, not only for myself, but to pick up some gifts for friends and family. Today I purchased a small package of Emperor's Chai tea and Coconut Oolong tea, and my husband wanted to try the Pirate's Bite spice blend which we were able to sample in store. They also had a cold and hot tea sample available. read more

The Spice & Tea Exchange - prickly pear tea - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Unfortunately I won't return: The younger employees were nice and wanted to be helpful, the "older" woman in the shop was anything but nice and helpful. No one knew the source of any of the herbs. When asked if they had anything organic, I was told everything was, but couldn't be labeled as such because a store can't be organic. Yet as I mentioned above, they knew nothing of the source of the herbs. The older lady didn't even crack a smile as she told me she didn't know much about the herbs. The store is a franchise, therefore, I would go to Penzey's over this because they have WAY more herbs and have some organic options. I'll keep looking for a local, organic herb and spice shop. read more
