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.

Best Site for Peppercorns!

Updated review

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!

Great Shopping Experience

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.

Updated review

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.

Shipping too high
December 16, 2025
Updated review

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!

I find what I'm looking for
December 15, 2025

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.

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?

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!
