The Spice & Tea Exchange 🫖
The Spice & Tea Exchange brings the aromas and flavors of a traditional spice market to Disney Springs with loose-leaf teas, spice blends, salts, sugars, herbs, seasonings, kitchen accessories, and gift sets. Located in the Marketplace, the shop is a favorite for home cooks,
tea drinkers, and anyone who enjoys browsing ingredients they may not normally find at a standard grocery store. The assortment ranges from everyday seasoning blends to more unusual flavored salts and teas, making it easy to find something practical for your own kitchen or a small gift for someone who loves food.
Experience ✨
Shopping at The Spice & Tea Exchange is very sensory, with jars of spices, teas, salts, and blends creating different aromas as you move through the store. The staff can help explain flavor profiles, suggest uses for unfamiliar blends, or point you toward a tea based on the types of flavors you already enjoy. The store also serves hot and iced tea to go, so you can try something while browsing rather than committing immediately to a full package of loose-leaf tea.
Atmosphere 🌿
The shop has an old-world market feel with shelves of glass jars, natural ingredients, wooden displays, and rich aromas filling the compact space. It feels warm and inviting rather than polished or modern, which fits the focus on herbs, spices, and loose-leaf tea. The mixture of fragrances is part of the experience, although the sheer number of different scents can feel strong if you are especially sensitive to spices or fragrance.
