katie + sara = tsp spices

We are a couple of Southern girls who wandered north, established careers, married and became moms. We met and discovered shared passions for absorbing work, creative challenges and good mayonnaise on a ripe tomato.

tsp spices grew out of our fondness for adventurous eating and full-flavored food. It’s also true that the company evolved from utter despair that we could ever maintain an orderly spice cabinet – and the frustration of finding one too many stale bottles of cardamom or coriander lingering from the Clinton era, or even earlier. And we will not deny that tsp spices is our nod to the notion of "second lives." We dreamt of orderly supplies of spices bursting with flavor rather than wasting away in the back of the cabinet.

We’re pleased to share that vision with you through tsp spices. Our one teaspoon spices are incredibly easy to use. When a recipe calls for a spice, just open up a 1 teaspoon packet and pour in. We promise you vibrant tastes with organic spices that are free of additives and fillers and packaged to preserve their freshness. We also make them easy on your storage system and pleasant to look at when they’re on your counter.

We hope you’ll find that tsp spices enliven your culinary adventures with fresh flavors and style.

Best New Cooking Concept of the Century
Tsp Spices Spice Basics Organic, 12 One-teaspoon Packets, 40 Ounce Boxed Tins
Pre-measured spices in one-time use packages are an amazing invention. Why didn't I think of this? At first, I assumed these beautifully designed tins filled with individually wrapped spices would simply make charming and unusual little gifts. They certain do that. What a clever guest you will seem when you come to the door bearing little spice boxes rather than the usual bottle of wine or tired bunch of flowers. A plus for you is that by giving "tsp spices" you won't be spending nearly as much money as you would on flowers or wine. You don't have to mention that to you're friends (I certainly hope you don't have the kind of friends who are gauche enough to inquire about price), but it won't matter to them because they'll be too busy marveling at the whole concept. That's assuming, of course, your friends are smart enough to appreciate fully this new way of storing dried herbs and spices. As I say, I initially thought of this simply as a good gift idea, not a radical new concept for my own kitchen. Then I tied the pre-measured spices for myself and the next thing I knew I was eying my collection of glass bottles half full of fading powders and disintegrating leaves. Most of them I never use because they've lost all their flavor, yet I don't throw out the bottles because it somehow seems so wasteful. Then I realized, it was time to redefine my definition of waste. The better way to conserve precious resources is to have my kitchen stocked with flavorful spices and herbs that are packaged in quantities that I actually use. Who came up with the idea of ounce-size bottles for dried spices anyway? Did you ever read a recipe that called for an ounce of dried oregano? When word gets out, I predict that "tsp spices" will bring about a revolution in the modern kitchen, much as the Cuisinart did in my mother's generation and the refrigerator did in my grandmother's. If you think I exaggerate, invite me to dinner and I'll bring along a nice little gift that may change your mind.

Great convenient way to buy spices
How many times have I had to throw out old spices, I've lost count. This is one of the best ideas on the market. Tins full of individually packaged spices to keep in your cupboard ready, premeasured, and convenient. This makes a great housewarming gift for friends who love to cook or bake. I think the kits that they have put together are wonderful, but you can purchase the spices you want a la carte too.
