My friend and I were headed to Cincy to visit another friend...with some time to spare we did a road trip to Jungle Jim's. I love Jungle Jim and in some ways I am glad I don't live closer, lol.
It is the most unique and fun international grocery store I have been too. There is almost anything you could ask for and from about any country or region you could think of.
Since I am doing my Passport to Tea 2023 and featuring 12 different countries, I was in search of tea from any of those countries.
Check out these restrooms!!!!
Barb and I thought they were real port a pots! But, once you walk in, it opens up to a giant restroom. This was a hoot!
There are over 200,000 square feet of shopping with over 180,000 items!!
I had the most fun in the Asian isles...searching for tea and for treats from those countries. I found some tea and treats from Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
Great Britain had the largest selection of teas, but most all of them I can find in most stores. I did not purchase anything from the English area.
We spend over 2 hours in Jungle Jim's. It is just incredible to see all the food. If you are doing ANYTHING ethnic I would recommend a visit here.
And the décor is super cool too! There is a real boat, a real fire truck, and so much more!
I found some fun canned teas too, Yeo's I was familiar with from when I was in Malaysia.
I picked up some Oolong, since that is my favorite kind of tea.
In the Turkey area I saw the tea I had already purchased, so I was pleased I had bought the right tea earlier.
This is the Swiss tea that my grandpa used to get us. I am stocked up on this, so I didn't need to buy any, but the price I thought was really good.
They had a Kombucha bar. I was hoping they were selling their own blend. Sadly there were not, it was GTS. And even though I love GTS, I did not buy any. I decided to buy some local kombucha I had never tried before.
Yes, you might need this map to get around!!!!!
These were some of the goodies I picked up for my tea classes.
Ahh, Jungle Jim's...I will see you again my friend!!!
We were only in the city for about 4 hours, but it was really fun.
Even a quick trip to KY, lol!!!
