Dear readers, your faithful newsletterer is breaking the fourth wall today to say: we are truly having a crazy, wild year this year!! | | Spices are selling faster than we’d ever predicted for this holiday season, so I am currently writing this gift guide at 2:30 a.m. on a Saturday, mildly sleep-deprived, manically basking in spice-fueled delirium, checking our inventory to predict what will still be in stock by the time you read this on Sunday morning. | | Jake, Director of Operations, reminds me that, “Big picture, this is a good problem to have.” (This is true. I’m inclined to trust Jake.) Our team is truly doing everything we can, as quickly as we can, to keep everything in stock. If something is sold out by the time you open this newsletter, please sign up for the “Email me when it’s here” notifications and you’ll be the first to know when they're back. Without further ado— | | | |
Food & Wine selected our Baking Collection as one of their best gifts for bakers, and Food Network says there’s flavor and flair that's above the rest in this collection: “Take your cookies, cakes and pies to the next level with this set of elevated baking spices. These single-origin spices are sourced directly from small farms and packed into a gift-ready box.” This collection includes both old and new hits: Royal Cinnamon and Toasted Pepita Pumpkin Spice are both knockouts that’ll make you wonder whether you’ve had real spices until now.
| | There’s only 62 sets left of Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice as I write this sentence because Cinnamon Sugar Crunch is flying off our warehouse shelves. We’ve had to restock it three times since we launched it in September! Our customer Jenna has crowned this “the perfect spice blend to add the perfect sweetness and spicy flavor to coffee, tea, oatmeal, and toast. This would be a perfect fall gift or stocking stuffer.” This bundle comes complete with our Rum & Bourbon Vanilla Extract and two of our single origin sugars, Powdered Coconut Sugar and Kettle-Cooked Panela. | |
You’re thinking: why are you including a hot chocolate mix in a bakers’ gift guide? To which I say: what’s in a name? Royal Cinnamon Hot Chocolate has been our standout star of 2025, selling out within just 4 days of our initial launch in October. In the last two months, we've sold 2,000 jars of it. And I had to know: can I bake with it? And so I did. I baked hot chocolate brownie bars. You can too. (Picture is above, for my fellow skeptics.) Grab this Royal Cinnamon Trio for the ultimate cinnamon lover's experience. Drink and be merry, then bake and be merrier.

| | June's Spice Recommendation: Hi, it's me, the writer of this mildly unhinged newsletter and most of the other (less unhinged) newsletters you've been reading all year long! I love falling in love with whichever spice I'm writing about. Preeti Mistry's Dal blend makes the house smell amazing as it simmers, but it's also delicious as a spice dip for white cheddar and apple slices. Try it, with an open mind and a predilection for the unexpected. | | | | Questions? Feedback? Ideas? We love to hear from you. Just reply to this email.
