About
Proudly employee-owned.
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.
Widespread community reach
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.
Pouches that Protect
Our classy, new packaging is barrier safe, keeping all the freshness inside.
They are made from recyclable materials and can be recycled most places where soft plastics are accepted.
