One of the best shops of its kind that I have ever been in. I consider my self pretty knowledgeable on spices and teas but Chaboms blew me away. Their inventory is truly amazing. The staff is amazing and being able to sample the tea before you buy a lot is a great touch. They also have other cool items for sale so if you are looking for a truly unique food related gift then I would start looking here first.

This store is amazing. They have a huge selection of boxed teas as well as jars of spices and loose leaf teas that can be bagged. They also have an assortment of pre mixed spices and so far my favorite is the fajita seasoning! Today when they did not have any bagged up she offered to go ahead and make me some which was very much appreciated. Very nice folks here, I highly recommend it.

This place not only has a great selection of teas and spices, but the prices are great too! They also carry a lot of tea infusers, including infuser cups. also know their stuff. I came in needing a remedy for an upset stomach, and they directed me to just the right blend. They were really nice, too. I’m definitely going back.

I loved this! I’m a huge fan of loose leaf tea, first discovering it through Teavana, then checking out Argo in Chicago, and purchasing lots of loose leaf tea through Adagio online. So when I saw a Chabom Tea & Spices vendor table at the recent Girls Just Wanna Run 5K + 10K run, I had to check it out. There were free samples and handouts that encouraged me to stop in, so later that day, my sister and I were in the store and loving it! Tea & Spices is definitely appropriate. While there’s a large selection of quality loose leaf tea, there’s even more spices. I’m so happy I found this place, because I love to cook with unique spices and it’s hard to find them all in grocery stores. There are also other things like candles, soaps, etc. It’s a good place to just stop in and check out. My sister and I ordered an ice tea brewed from one tea selection she picked out, and I can’t remember exactly which one it was, but it was perfectly refreshing for a hot day post 10K. The to-go cups Chabom uses are made from sugar cane fibers, so they’re biodegradable and the barista suggested I not reuse it too many times. He then wrapped up the tea packets he made so my sister and I could reuse them later that day for another cup. All their tea is very potent, so it can easily make more than 1 cup, which is awesome. I also bought some loose leaf pomegranate green tea myself. Unlike Teavana or Adagio, you can buy however little or lot of tea you like, so I took 2 oz. I love Chabom, I can’t wait to go back for more, and also to try their sister shop, Café Cusco, another time!

Great little Shop on Commercial Street with A LOT to offer! You can get as little or as much as you need in the way of herbs, spices, and loose teas! Oh my they do have boxed teas too! From cups to pots and tea strainers you are all set. They have some grocery items as well. Just add your fresh veggies and meat(grocery store or Farmer’s Market) and you are all set! Prices are reasonable and the staff is so helpful!

I am excited to have this new shop in town, so I have been singing their praise to everyone I know. The shop is well-kept and the staff are incredibly friendly. They have a nice selection of both teas and spices, all good quality from what I’ve seen, and their staff seems very knowledgeable. You can get a cup of any of their loose-leaf teas either hot or iced and they have some small food items and pastries as well, which I plan to sample in the future. My initial excitement for this store was to not have to travel to Branson or order online for my spices. However, after shopping here we are equally excited about the teas. We have been frequenters of Teavana until now, but find the teas here to be just as good, with what’s probably a better selection, not chock full of froo-froo tisanes. On top of that, you aren’t required to buy a minimum of two ounces like you would at Teavana, and the prices are considerably cheaper. Definitely stop in and check this place out, if just to browse. We will be frequent visitors I’m sure, and hope to see this new shop staying in Springfield for a long time.
