Spice & Tea Merchants of McKinney

What a great little shop! Don't let the size fool you - the place is stocked with all the tea, spices & herbs you can wish for! Great location right off Courthouse Square too. I had a few questions and they helped steer me in the right direction. Something is always being sampled too! They have oils & vinegars that you can sample all the time as well. If you'd like a cup of tea to go they'll make a cup of any tea they have for you. According to their Facebook page that's 150 options you have to choose from!

Place was absolutely amazing I found it a week before I moved from Texas super sad, highly recommend though!

Love this place! They had a deal that was buy four get one free for spices or tea. The voodoo spice is always my favorite.I bought some tea for someone and took all the recommendations from the staff there. They also have some really cute accessories for teacup.

Great selection and service! Appreciated the help from the staff and all their knowledge.

Service was amazing and the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. For someone who didn't know much about tea they helped explain all the various options

SUMMARY: Cute little tea shop off the main intersection in downtown McKinney. If you're a tea fan and need your fix or need some gifts to take home, this is a good place where you can get a few things at a semi-reasonable price for friends and family.BACKGROUND: Our good friend who lives in McKinney spent the day with us, taking us around to different shops, bars, and eateries in downtown McKinney.THE SHOP: 5/5Well just like any other tea shop, they have a variety of teas and many appear to be blends that they crafted together. Really unique combinations that unfortunately we won't be able to try because we bought 3 of their packs as gifts. The shop is well-laid out and they have a lot of unique non-tea items too like honey.SERVICEBoth ladies were knowledgeable and courteous like all Texans seem to be. 5/5.RETURN VISIT?Yup!

This is a cool little shop off the square to find many different spices. Most come in a ziplock package. It's a sturdy plastic package none-the-less. They had several specialty spices that we've used on steaks and veggies that make them awesome. Great prices.

Since moving to TX I've been looking for an alternative to Teavana and Oil & Vinegar! Two of my favorite shops back home. And this one is like both in one shop. I love that this little gem is in downtown. There selection of tea is quite nice; not gonna lie I do miss Teavana still. I wish they had samples.... But I get because of COVID they probably can't. Their vinegar and oil selection is decent. And there spice selection is really nice. I'm legit addicted to their Truffle Sea Salt. I bought 10oz the other day! We have to keep it in stock at our house. They lady helping me said it's amazing on popcorn.... Which I'll have to try. But we use it on steaks we sous vide at home. Sprinkle a generous amount with a sliver of butter and put it in the water bath! I'm telling you this stuff will change your life! I also use it to season roasted potatoes and butternut and veggies. Again love that this place is near by!

We are from the Chicago area, and when visiting relatives in Wylie, we always include a trip to McKinney and a stop to the Spice & Tea Merchants store. The store is attractive, the products are very fresh, the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The packaging helps to keep the products fresh, the quantities of the spices are good, and for those of us careful shoppers, the prices are very reasonable. Give yourself a treat ... plan to spend some extra time thinking of the possible dishes you will prepare for your family; enjoy the wall of teas that will make you want to go home and enjoy your "own" Spa day.

Love their selection of spices, teas, flavored oils and vinegars. They even have beautiful tea pots and accessories. The staff is always very helpful as well.
