Spice blends, loose-leaf tea and imported pantry ingredients share the shelves at The Spice & Tea Shoppe in Reno. The independent business uses the salty-savory-sweet name online, with a catalog organized around cooking, brewing and giving food-related gifts.

Owner Lindy Pastor has contributed recipes and ingredient guidance to Edible Reno-Tahoe, and the Carson City Chamber’s regional directory lists her with the South McCarran Boulevard shop. The company’s own story describes a business shaped by travel and an interest in making ingredients from different food traditions available locally.

## For the spice cupboard

The cooking assortment ranges from individual herbs, chile peppers, peppercorns and salts to ready-mixed rubs and seasoning blends. Separate categories cover barbecue, seafood, curries and baking. Salt-free and sugar-free blend categories help shoppers narrow the catalog when a recipe or preference calls for a particular kind of seasoning.

Specialty foods extend that selection into olive oils, balsamic vinegars, pasta, risotto, honey, preserves and sauces. European food imports sit alongside everyday cooking ingredients, so a visit may be about replacing one spice or assembling several components for a meal.

## For the teapot

Tea choices include black, green, white and oolong styles, plus chai, rooibos and other herbal selections. The online shop separates traditional teas from flavored combinations and includes tea accessories and gift sets. A customer can browse by type instead of needing to know the name of a particular blend in advance.

The website also maintains recipes and kitchen guides, and the staff’s stated role includes helping with spice pairings and tea choices. That combination of ingredients and practical guidance gives the shop a purpose beyond selling jars: it helps customers decide how a new flavor might fit into their own cooking or tea routine.
