"The Spice Rack is a small boutique apothecary offering more than 500 teas, herbs, and spices. We also craft custom herbal medicinal products and gifts. Minority woman owned and operated."
Tucked into the Plaza in Las Vegas, NM, The Spice Rack is the kind of shop where you come in for one thing and leave with a honey bear, a pair of earrings, and a tincture you didn't know you needed. Many of the shelf labels are hand-lettered.
Row after row of hand-labeled mason jars — everything from kitchen spice blends and chile powders to loose-leaf teas and dried flowers.
New this season: dried blue lotus flower, sold by the bag for tea, bath soaks, or smoking blends.
Browse and search the shop's printed lists of teas, spices, and herbs. Stock changes, so call or stop by to check what's on the shelf today.
Needs April's OK before launch: the lists were copied from photos of her printed lists. Some entries at the bottom of columns may be missing, a few printed spellings look off (kept as printed), and six names that sound like health claims (Big C Blend, Everyday Wellness, Get In My Belly, Men's Wellness Support, Ouch My Throat, Regulan-Tea) are shown but need her approval.
This is where the shop earns the "apothecary" in its name. The house Osha Root Tincture, made in an alcohol base, is labeled "Handcrafted at The Spice Rack." You'll also find saffron-infused honey and elderberry-infused local honey on the shelves.
Beyond the jars on the wall, April makes custom herbal formularies for her regular clients. Share a few details about yourself and what you're dealing with, and she'll follow up with you about a blend.
Takes about two minutes. Your answers go to April by email.

Needs April's OK before launch: steps 2 and 3 (who makes each blend, deposit, pickup and shipping) come from an earlier draft and have not been confirmed by her.

Needs April's OK before launch: product list, the $15 price, and current stock. Health-related blends are left off until she approves the wording.
Alongside the shop's own blends, The Spice Rack carries small-batch products from other New Mexico makers — like Santa Fe Olive Oil & Balsamic Co.'s green and red chile-infused olive oils, and blue corn pancake mix from Santa Fe Culinaria.
Pure saffron threads are also sold by the vial, for cooking or tea.
Beyond the jars, The Spice Rack is a genuine gift stop — crystal chip vials, flower-vase fridge magnets, whimsical animal tea infusers, elderberry honey bears, and plenty of small, giftable finds under $10.
A rotating case of jewelry, including Southwest-pattern hoop earrings — easy to grab as a gift, or a treat for yourself on the way out.

Items can be held once they are paid for, since many are small-batch.
