I was at Trader Joes near Chagrin Falls and saw that there was The Spice & Tea Exchange near by, so I knew I needed to check it out.
It is a really cute town. It reminded me of the Cuyahoga Falls area a bit.
There were fun old buildings and cool architecture everywhere.
The Spice and Tea Exchange is right on Main St. Parking is tough, but there is a parking lot behind the store- that is where I went.
I liked that they had smelling jars where you could see and smell the tea. The tea itself I thought should be in dark bags where sunlight could not get in. Having the sunlight on the tea does dimmish the teas life and can effect the taste.
It is a very cute building with a tasting area in the back. They will make any tea you want. They also have two free samples as well.
The samples they had were Elderberry Forest Herbal Tea and Mystic Dragon Green Tea.
I purchased the Blue Hawaiian tea to take with me. They made it like a pro, lol!
The flavors on this were not my favorite. I did not think there was a ton a flavor. I added some sugar to it, but I still didn't get much from the tea. It was okay, I would have just liked more, cause the aroma was soooo incredible! I did get pineapple notes that were nice though.
They also have candles there.
Taking my Hawaiian tea to enjoy on the road home.

Making some The Spice and Tea Exchange Pineapple Paradise Green tea this morning. It’s delicious and so refreshing. I’m a big fan!!! This tea is pricey, so it will not be one I use at tea parties- lol…or even buy a lot of. But it is a fun treat. But, there are other companies who make really good tea for half the price. Sorry Spice and Tea Exchange- you are not in the budget.
The four teacups is because of the price....not the flavor on this one. This one has great flavor!
Making iced tea is super easy.
4 tsp of Pineapple Paradise Green tea
1/3 C sugar
steeped tea for 10 minutes, with 175 degree water.
Then put the tea in the pitcher with water and iced.
10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
