A store near by has carried their stuff for around 2 years.   I've 
tried 4 or 5 of their spices.  I really like their Thai curry, I'm on 
the second box, and am trying to have them order the large size for 
me.  The other things I've tried were good, but maybe not 
exceptional. Certainly better than the usual grocery store spices and 
the prices seem good.

It seems like they have a pretty good turn over, so the stock seems 
fresh.  I like their smallish re-fill boxes, so you aren't paying for 
a new jar each time... I have jars that fit my spice rack.  Some of 
their spices are organic, and it's clearly marked which ones are.

I suspect they are trying to compete with Penzeys, but I haven't done 
a real comparison to them.  We have a Penzey's pretty close, but I 
don't go there much, because I spend too much when I do. :)
