Traverse City Spice & Tea Merchants

"The store was lined with herbs, teas, and spices. Upon entering, I was greeted by a very handsome clerk (a puppy who wagged it's tail happily then went to tend the desk). The other employee was also extremely helpful and kind. I tried the tea blends I got from there and am absolutely in love and will definitely be a return customer."

"Large selection of spices. When asking about them the guy didn't really want to talk it seemed. Quick responses and back to looking at his computer. No problem. But then his DOG bit my 6 year old daughter's foot through her shoe and she jumped. She said she was ok. He saw it and called for the dog. We left and when we got in the car she said her foot hurt and I took her sock and shoe off and there was a tiny mark. Keep that dog away from people. It took until now (next day) to even locate what this shop was called in Google as we were only passing through."

"Spice & Tea Merchants have high quality fresh products and Nick is always helpful and available to make suggestions & recommendations. 100% customer service. I have been a customer for many years"

"This place is cool on so many levels. Forget your same daily coffee and stop by for your different daily hot tea. Over 120 different choices of tea to try out. Nick helped me choose a tea and it was a great flavorful recommendation. I had a White Tea Blueberry flavor loved it. They have over 200 spices, various soup starting packs and cool tea pots along with some very cool artwork you can purchase. Again forget the same boring coffee each day and at least try a few different flavors of Tea."

"Great selection of tea, spices, rubs, etc... also loved all the art for sale and the pup walking around was a delightful bonus. Only one tiny negative thing to say- I'm not sure if the guy working thought I was going to steal the tea I had in my hands or what, but there was an influx of people coming in as I was taking down the tea I wanted which was right by the door. The man working literally sprung from his seat and quickly came to me to ask if I was ready to pay. I still wanted to look around, we had only been in there for about 5 minutes, but I felt a little uncomfortable so we paid and left. Other than that odd interaction, the vibe and experience in the store was great!"
