This company was a recommendation from another horse owner who shops here frequently. So, I gave it a shot and am very pleased with the high quality of purchased herbs, the speedy shipping and overall experience at this store. Highly recommended!
I've shopped on many herbalist sites, and Herb Co has become my favorite! They have great prices, quality and selection of herbs, better than other sites. Their shipping is also super fast! I only purchase organic or wild-crafted herbs because quality is very important to me, and Herb Co has so many. I also really like their packaging. They come in tightly sealed plastic bags, which are easy to wash and store. Just super professional all around.
I just buy organic and wild-harvested herbs. HerbCo has a great selection of these for competitive pricing. Tumeric and Fennel organic powders were out of stock though. I hope to be able to get all my many herbs in one place in the future!
Like having the description giving all the information on the product and how it is used. Lifestyle change pushed me more towards nature foods and cures. I learn a lot just by scrolling through your products and reading.
I am ordered several different herbs and spices through the years. All have been top quality. I have recommended your company when someone was looking for quality herbs with very reasonable prices. Monterey Bay second to none.
Easy to use online store. Monterey Bay has a vast selection of herbs, spices, and teas, plus the prices are reasonable.
I am always pleased with the products. They have a lovely green tea that I absolutely love. Their mullein is fabulous. I've gotten many more items, but haven't used them all yet. This is my go-to place for herbs, teas, spices and information.
Great experience. I look forward to ordering again.
The last time I bought some spices and pectin for canning. I was happy with the quality of the products. I believe this is my 3rd or 4th order now. Definitely have a repeat customer with me. Plus it is so much cheaper to buy what i use most through here then at the grocery store.
Have used Chaste Tree Berry Powder for years, adding to my mare's feed to counter Cushing's Disease. It makes a big difference, she sheds out normally every year while on it, which is a good indication that it is working. And she doesn't mind the taste!
I absolutely love everything about Herbco. They ship quickly and they have NEVER gotten any of my orders wrong or left anything off **knock on wood**. I've been using them a little over a year now and will continue to for years to come.
Their products are high quality. The orders arrive in a timely fashion. The one big drawback is that you can only order one sample at a time and you have to pay a lot of money for it. If you want to test two items say an organic and an non organic side by side you are out of luck.
Everything is always perfect, as described, and shipped quickly. I love Monterey Bay Herb Co. And have used them for years. A friend turned me on to this company and I have been so pleased with every order.
Love the spices, love the prices. It's a darn shame we can't still do will-call because shipping always inflated otherwise great prices for small orders by over 50%. Allow will-call again and the value skyrockets.
I use multiple herbs in my handmade microwavable pillows. It is hard to find just the right cut of herbs and aromas to use. This company is hands down the best I have come into contact with and used. Keep up the amazing work.
Hope you are legit. This is my 1st time to order. I have used Mountain Rose Herbs for 10 years and I can't afford them anymore.
I like the products this company sells; it helps with my business. The only thing I would prefer is lower shipping prices and when a product is discontinued, for it to be removed from the listing of herbs available so one doesn't waste time.
I run a small business and I need my herbs by the pound so I come here. Many of the herbs are reasonably priced; would love to see shipping costs reduced though.
As always. My go-to herb supplier. Fast shipping. Would like to see free shipping offered on a little less than $200. Large Flat rate Priority Mail shipping is less than $20 on up to 75Lbs. UPS & FedEx are way too high. Just sayin...
Love you guys! Keep it up. I buy 92% of my herbs, teas, and spices from you.
It is my second purchase at Monterey Bay Spice Co. And again I am overwhelmed by the choice of spices and teas (in a positive way of course!). I can find everything here and even more as they provide spices in many forms. And the shipping is very fast. I love this shop!
The variety and quality of herbs, spices and teas is a go to for me each time the need arises. This is my source for Roasted Chicory Root to cut coffee to a lower caffeine intake without loosing too much taste. I only with the shipping was a little more reasonable.
The herbs are great your website has constant redirects to sign in. Once signed in then going to check out wants you to sign in again. Then all the things already in my cart were gone so I added them again and go to check out and there's 2 of everything then. The website needs some work.
I've order from Monterey Herb company for a couple of years now and the service is always great! The products are excellent, and I go nowhere else to buy my herbs. My only compliant is the shipping cost. Its a bit high.
With tariffs and things, I started panic buying anything imported I use. Monterey Bay Herb Co had the BEST prices and bulk amounts and all my spices. I stared getting extra stuff like cinnamon sticks which may be a luxury in the future.
I have purchased my mullein from herbco.com for about 6 months now. The mullein has always been good quality, except for last month, it wasn't as good quality as it had been before. But I called in and Larry, sent me a replacement bag,. I tell everybody that mention that they are looking for organic plant products about Herbco.
