About us
A Tradition of Flavor and Family
For over three decades, Olde Tradition Spice has been crafting the perfect blend of mulling spices, bringing warmth, comfort, and a touch of nostalgia to every cup. Founded in 1994 by Richard Denchfield, our company was born out of a desire to create an all-natural product that would evoke the joy of the holiday season and the togetherness of family. With his background in the health-food industry, Richard’s passion for clean, wholesome ingredients led him to develop a blend that contains no sugar, salt, caffeine, or preservatives—just pure, natural flavor.
What began as a small, family-driven operation has grown into a trusted partner for apple orchards, wineries and farm markets across the country. Richard’s hands-on approach and genuine relationships with customers have shaped the heart of Olde Tradition Spice, creating connections that have lasted for generations.
A New Chapter
In 2023, Richard’s son, Branden, took the helm of Olde Tradition Spice after years of working closely with his father. Branden grew up attending trade shows, packing orders, and learning the business from the ground up. With a business degree from the University of Maryland and professional experience in supply chain, marketing and management, Branden brings a fresh perspective to the company while maintaining the same family values that made Olde Tradition Spice a success.
Under his leadership, we’ve become the #1 mulling spice seller online, and our commitment to quality and customer service remains unwavering. Richard still plays an active role in the business, staying connected with longtime customers and supporting the company’s growth.
Building Traditions, Supporting Communities
At Olde Tradition Spice, we believe the best memories are made around a shared table and a warm drink. Our mulling spices are crafted with care, using only natural ingredients—no sugar, no salt, no caffeine, no preservatives. We offer our world-famous blend in convenient tea bags for individual cups or in whole pieces for larger batches, making it easy to enjoy the perfect mulled drink, whether at home or on your farm.
But our commitment extends far beyond delivering exceptional products. At Olde Tradition Spice, we believe in giving back. For over 20 years, we proudly partnered with organizations that employed adults with disabilities, who carefully packed each box of our mulling spices and other products with care and pride. Today, we continue to provide meaningful employment opportunities for individuals on the path to personal growth and recovery, offering them a chance to rebuild their lives with purpose and dignity. We believe in making a positive impact wherever we can.
Olde Tradition Spice is more than just a business – it’s a community. From the farms and markets that trust our products to the people who pack them with care, we’re proud to be part of something bigger. We look forward to continuing this journey with you, one sip at a time.
