Épices et Thés d’Isa

A small shop on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse: spices ground to order, teas blended in the back room, and refills for your tin.

Sofia grew up between a Sicilian grandmother and a Lyonnais one, and both kept a drawer of spices. She opened the shop in 2005 to sell spices that are still alive: whole, from small growers, ground when you ask.

Bring back your tin and refill it for less. The blends change with the seasons: warm and sweet in winter, citrus and mint in summer. The herbal teas are blended in the back room, five minutes from the stall.
