Always a pleasure shopping with Herbco. Inventory is always available and shipping is fast. I'm on the east coast and my orders arrive within 2-3 days.
All these items are gifts for family, so I can't rate them. However, I will say that I'm very impressed w/ Monterey Bay Herb Co. The site is easy to navigate; Always find what I'm looking for and the shipping is very fast.
Working with herbs to make tisanes, pomanders, potpourri, etc. has been something I enjoyed since I was in my 20s here in San Francisco. The old store on Ellis Street that used to be my source for bulk herbs and oils is long gone, but I am happy that I found Monterey Bay Spice Company, which fulfilled my needs entirely and expeditiously. Great service, great packaging, great products!
Monterey Bay is your one stop shop for herbal teas. Very wide selection and very good prices. This will be the only place I shop for tea.
I've been buying from them for a few years. Their herbs have helped me with many of my medical issues, I shop for cooking seasonings, and when I was running my soap business. Prices are great for buying in bulk. Definitely my go to!
Have always had a good experience with Monterey Bay Herb Co... Their products are safe, good, clean, never had to worry about my purchases, ever...
I have found that Monterey Bay Herb Co. Has always had top high quality products... I feel good & safe ordering from them... Been buying from Monterey Bay Spice Co., for quite a while & will keep ordering from them...
Normally I don't buy products when the cost of the product is equal to the cost of shipping… Especially when the shipment was only 1 pound in total! I think you get more business if you didn't overcharge your customers shipping cost!
First, your website sucks! I'm frustrated because I just spent about 20 minutes trying to make a purchase. I subscribed and made an account but it wouldn't log me in then I tried to get a link to reset the password and nothing came. So I clicked it about seven or eight times to make it work and then got seven or eight emails to reset my password… So incredibly disorganized! I would not have purchased this stuff without the 15% discount which initially you didn't send me. I am unlimited income and I don't appreciate $13 to send 1 pound worth of herbs! This is way overpriced and I feel bad about buying it because not only did I go through all this trouble but I'm paying a premium as well😢😢😢🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁
Nobody on Oregon understands what real chai is. Real chai does not come premade in a box, it is not in an instant powder form at the local coffee shop. You either buy it and brew it or buy all the ingredients from MB Herb Co. And make it yourself.
When I lived in the Santa Cruz Mountains I enjoyed Up n Atom Chai that I purchased at Herb Room in Santa Cruz. I am also pretty sure Cafe Pergolesi served Up n Atom Chai. I just remembered a few months back I was missing the real chai experience and it took quite a while to locate HerbCo. So glad I did, have been ordering other hard to find spices and chai mix (not Up n Atom)
I have ordered from Monterey Bay Herb Co. Off and on for years. They were recommended by a doctor I had. I have found that I can count on their herbs and prices.
Haven't got to use yet. I don't have anything else to say. They smell great. Better than some of the others I've got. I'll use you again
I had never ordered from MBHC before and had never bought tea online. I have a very low tolerance for caffeine, so I was looking for good quality caffeine free loose leaf teas. I purchased chai, orange cranberry, and hibiscus zest, and I love them all. I also ordered chicory and dandelion root for my morning coffee. The products I received are all high quality, and I will definitely continue to order from MBHC.
I love Monterey Bay Spice Co. They have enabled me to open a section of my business I never thought I would be able to open! I always check them first before I head to any other website, but I haven't had to order herbs from anyone else for a while. Thank you!
I have been a devoted customer of Monterey Bay Herb Co for years now, and absolutely intended to continue that loyalty. Once in a while when something is out of stock and I have to go elsewhere for my business I am always so disappointed. It doesn't happen often though! I love the re-sealable bags the herbs come in now, the fast shipping, and knowing that the quality will be excellent.
I have ordered lots of stevia and use lots of it. I have also ordered many other things that I love. My most recent new favorite is the Get Smart Tea. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for great quality with excellent flavor.
We appreciate the herbs provided as support to our families wellbeing. We continue to order based on the quality and integrity of the products sold.
I decided to start drinking teas that have healthy benefits. When I found Monterey Bay I was overwhelmed by the Huge selection of herbs! Reasonably priced with the option of Organic as well! I highly recommend them!
I have ordered from Monterey Bay for about 5 years now and am never disappointed. Herbs are always what I expect and great quality.
Your company is my go to for ingredients. Great quality and they came in a resealable bag this time! 😃
I order bulk herbs for my horses and I love the benefits they receive from consuming these herbs and I love the saving I receive from this company. The best value on the market. My animal's health and my family's health is vastly improved from the herbs/spices we order from Monterey Bay Herb Co. Thankful for this company.
The quality of the products I received are well beyond my expectations! That combined with the price and quick shipping makes it a no brainer for me that this is going to be my go-to supplier for all things herb related!
Cheapest place to purchase herbs at an excellent quality with quick shipping times!
Today went quite smoothly but when I was trying to place my order a few days ago it was extra slow and my cart wouldn't show up multiple times.
Ordering is very nice and simple. Also I like the pictures of the products. The quality of the products is excellent.
The only thing I don't like is the high cost of shipping and the high threshold for free shipping.
