In an attempt to cure the winter blues (the winter of 2014 has seemed like the longest ever), my husband and I took a mini vacation with some friends and spent the weekend in Stillwater, MN. Always on the lookout for a fabulous foodie find, we came across an exciting new spice shop called "Spice & Tea Co.", adding to the smattering of hip shops that Stillwater is known for.
The owner, Nancy Figueroa, offers a large, unique selection of spices, herbs, hand mixed blends, specialty teas and coffees. Her selection is the freshest and finest I've ever seen. Some of my favorites include flavored salts like lime fusion salt (adds zip to your guacamole or makes a great margarita rimmer), espresso fusion salt (great in mole sauce or sprinkled on homemade chocolate candy), ghost pepper fusion salt (I love this on my eggs).
All of her offerings are displayed on the wall in large glass jars where you can open and smell the aroma of the product and sample a taste that I promise will inspire and awaken your creativity.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert in the kitchen, Nancy will guide you in your cooking adventures. She loves helping customers expand their menu and introduce new tastes from around the world. The philosophy at Spice & Tea Co. is to make food fun and delicious. Amen!
