This month's Spicery HQ snapshots!
It's beginning to look a a lot like Christmas! We're making a list of Christmas blends and checking it twice, and can confirm that they are a bit naughty... but also very very nice! Our festive blends have all been re-tested and (very willingly) tasted for 2024, and will be on sale soon!
A fun new perk was recently introduced for all of our staff: the eating out allowance! Spicerers now have an annual allowance that they can spend on dining out, encouraging us all to support local and independent establishments, broaden our horizons with new cuisines, and try delicious dishes that might inspire new recipes and combinations here at The Spicery. It's no surprise that this has been very popular, and lots of us have put it to use already!
