I've been buying herbs here for years, the only place I buy herbs. Site is super easy to navigate and the checkout process is pretty painless and straight forward
This is my third time ordering in both previous experiences have been great packaging has been great labeling and all has been a good experience for me and I will be ordering again and have let people know about this website and how affordable it is
This is a great company. Their teas are very good. I've been ordering from them for years. In all that time, I had 1 bag of tea leaves that was mostly tea dust. It was replaced immediately. I really like that there are multiple sizes of the teas so that you can try different flavors.
I have been purchasing herbs in bulk from monterey bay for 3 years now for my herbal apothecary and am truly satisfied and happy. The quality has remained great over time and they are always on time with shipping and having what i need or communicating when it will be available. I am appreciative and am here for a long time.

Enjoy using the 4 peppercorn mix every day. The grinder is always on the table and the fresh grind is so much better than the store brands. Keep up the great work!
It's so easy to say "shop here it's a great place" but that is used too much lately. So, shop here for your herbs and spices because it is the best site with the best selection. Also the best at educating the buyer what a herb or spice is and how to use it properly.
I recently made an order from Monterey Bay Herb Co. And I'm genuinely impressed. Their prices are outstanding — especially for bulk herbs and spices — and their selection is vast, offering everything from common staples to exotic and organic botanicalsd. The herbs arrived fresh and well-packaged, which speaks to their quality control and attention to detail. Shipping was incredibly fast, and the order came much quicker than I expected. Overall, I'm very satisfied and will definitely be ordering from them again.
I'm so glad I found you guys. Your teas are of an exceptional quality.
I ordered multiple kinds of tea for creating a specific recipe and flavor that I am looking for. Was very pleased with selection options as well as overall experience. Will definitely be ordering more in the future.
Im only here because I ran out of roots and needed to replenish quickly. I was shocked to see I ordered approx 30.00 worth of merchandise weighing in at less than 3 lbs and being charged 14.00 for shipping! That's 1/2 my purchase. I won't be back but thanks anyways!
Shipping is a little on the high end. Will probably be lookong for something a little less priceyer.
I always receive items very timely and in superior condition. I know that when I place an order I will always receive my items in excellent quality that I can trust for myself & my family. I do miss the old discount for ordering more than five pounds at a time.
Fast, efficient shipping and very good quality herbs. I wish shipping was cheaper. But I love the vaLue I get in purchasing my herbs and spices.
Fast shipping. No hassle process from start to finish ordering online due to simplistic streamlined website that's easy to navigate & use. Great pricing and great quality keep me coming back!
I've been buying chamomile tea and other products for 20 years and their products are excellent. Be sure to order you'll be happy.
Shipping cost way higher compare to other company and also 3 times higher duty imposed by US Govt to Canadians. I paid 49$ for shipping and 49$ for duty so about US 100$ paid for nothing. So i d=will never ever buy anything from US again
I love the swiftness of delivery! I enjoy having GREAT products! They have everything I need! Bulk herbs is the way to go and Monterey Bay Herb Co is the best place to get them!
Great tisanes. Free shipping would be nice. Asking me the date of my previous experience is too much to ask. You want me to go looking through my orders for the last time I made an online order?
I have made 3 orders now and everyone has been shipped with speed and has been very well packaged for freshness. You have made me a long term customer.
Has pretty much everything I need for my little store which is great. The best part is they don't waste time getting the products to you. The best and fastest around!
"i always find an improvement in the products i look for"
Excellent
I have been purchasing from Monterey Bay Herb Co. For several years now and am so happy with every item, every time. The products are top quality, with an enormous selection at a fair and reasonable price.
The cardamom pods are way below expectations. Most of the pods are shriveled up with dried out brown seeds in them. I have emailed the company about it, but they basically shrugged their shoulders...
Update on my initial review: the company has reached out and they sent another bag of cardamom from a different batch. Hopefully, they will be better.
HerbCo.com is my go-to for sourcing herbs & spices because of the variety and availability. I prefer not to have to source over several companies; HerbCO.com makes this so easy (I even search by code now from my buying list). Product is always fresh and well packaged. Thank you,
Very pleased with the quality of the herbs received over the past two years. The website is so easy to work with (product codes are so helpful for long list of items being ordered), and emailed receipts are instantly sent. I have received all mailings as promised, and tracking is provided. Thanks!
