Brooklyn Spice Collection

Introducing The Brooklyn Collection by Orchids + Sweet Tea!

Inspired by the “melting pot” of cultures and cuisines that make up Brooklyn's borough, this collection brings bold, unique flavors to your everyday cooking or baking. Designed for home cooks and bakers of all levels, these blends transform ordinary dishes into restaurant-quality creations.

Marry Me Blend: A beautiful mix of herby Tuscan flavors and ‘Marry Me’ notes highlighting sun dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, lemon zest, and hints of coconut sugar for a bit of sweetness. The perfect marriage of sweet, tangy, and peppery depth of spices to transform your cabinet. I wanted to recreate one of the most popular flavors on my food site which has garnered millions of views on social media due to the bold, delicious combination of seasonings and herbs. Use this blend on any recipe that you wish to elevate such as chicken, seafood, pasta, soups—-you name it!

All Purpose Blend: An all-purpose blend that not only goes on everything literally, but one that creates a depth of flavor that adds a boldness to any dish in an “all-purpose” way. One of my favorite ingredients, smoked paprika, is added to this blend to create a smokiness that truly makes everything taste better. In addition, you’ll enjoy pieces of coarse thyme, which is a staple in Jamaican cooking for a nice balance of citrus and minty flavors. Overall, I wanted to ensure that your veggies, chicken, meat, stews, or any dish rather—--would have a delicious rub, marinade, or seasoning that fits perfectly into your routine.

Dessert Lover Blend: This sweet blend is truly something special because it was inspired by my love for eating and baking cinnamon rolls. I wanted to take the same bold flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and sugar in cinnamon rolls and introduce them as a dry spice that can be enjoyed on everything sweet. Think “all-purpose” blend for desserts and sweet treats! I introduce a bit of my Jamaican culture with the addition of warm spices like allspice and ginger, which adds a beautiful depth of complex flavor. Use this blend in any sweet recipe such as cakes, cupcakes, pastries, breads, oatmeal, coffee, cocktails/mocktails, and more.

Some jars may include a sifter due to manufacturing variations, but we've chosen to remove them going forward to reduce plastic, prevent moisture issues, and make scooping easier.
