The house
MarketSpice traces its history to a small tea and spice shop established in Seattle's Pike Place Market in 1911, and the retail store is still at 85 Pike St, on the same market floor. The house blend is a black tea with cinnamon and orange, sold loose and in teabags, and the same flavour has been carried across green, white, rooibos and decaffeinated bases so customers can keep it in whatever tea they drink. Blends are made daily in small batches.
Behind the signature blend sits a bulk range of nearly 200 teas, sold from 4 oz up to the pound, and it keeps the plain classics as well as the flavoured ones. Earl Grey is 5,88 US$ the 4 oz and the cheapest tea on this list; Pure African Redbush is 7,24 US$, Lapsang Souchong 9,75 US$, White Peony 9,94 US$ the 2 oz, the Choice Oolong 12,69 US$ and Japanese Sencha 16,63 US$ the 4 oz, the highest price here.
The counter is a spice counter too, with bulk spices, blends grouped by region, salt-free mixes, soup bases, sugars, coffee and hot chocolate, plus infusers, teapots, mortars and caddies on the accessories wall. Gifts come as 3.5 oz ribbon packs and pre-made baskets. Mail orders ship from a warehouse in Redmond, where will-call pickup is also possible, while the Market store handles walk-in buying every day from 9:30 to 17:00.

The FindMeTea edit
01 · Black tea
Bergamot-scented black in the 4 oz size, the lowest-priced tea on the shop's list: the one to put in the same order as the cinnamon-orange blend.
from US$ 5.88· 4 oz
Explore this tea →02 · Green tea
The only Japanese green here, steamed rather than pan-fired, and the top of this list's price ladder. It is the counterweight to a shelf that leans flavoured and spiced.
from US$ 16.63· 4 oz
Explore this tea →03 · White tea
White tea made of bud and leaf, sold in the smaller 2 oz size, which suits a tea that takes up a lot of room in the jar.
from US$ 9.94· 2 oz
Explore this tea →The one worth the trip
Lapsang Souchong is black tea dried over pine smoke, and it is the classic that disappears first when a shelf goes modern. This counter still lists it in 4 oz, next to the cinnamon-orange blend it has sold since the Market days. If you have only met smoky tea inside a blend, this is the unblended version.
from US$ 9.75· 4 oz
