An excursion to World Spice Merchants is a quick round-the-world adventure for the senses. This place is the closest you'll get in Seattle to an exotic third-world spice bazaar. If you need an obscue spice for a recipe and can't find it anywhere else, you'll find it here. It's also nice that you can open the jars and smell and check out what's in there. These spices (and teas) are so different from the horribly bland stuff sold in supermarkets, they're worth a special trip.
