I love Monteray Bay spice comp
December 13, 2025

It's wonderful. Arrives quickly and the tea I buy is just wonderful. It would be great if you have chrysanthemum blossoms too and Sunflower petal and leaf tea.

Great product, a bit pricey
December 13, 2025

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!

Been using Herbco for years, and order monthly. They have the fastest shipping and have a really great variety of products we need. They have been a huge staple and one of our main sources and supiers for teas and spices.

It is hard to find reputable companies. When one is too far away to actually lay hands on the products it is a huge relief to find quality products that can be purchased and shipped in bulk.

Your checkout is too complicated
December 9, 2025

1) Your checkout process is too complicated. Even though I entered the desired address at the beginning of the checkout process, it reverted to a default address and almost sent the order to the wrong address, which brings me to #2.
2) ALL companies allow a buyer to cancel the order if something is wrong with it. What planet are you living on? You're either a thief and want to keep the money in your pocket without providing something for it, OR you are utterly backward. So which one is it?!

My previous experiences have been really fabulous! They are really fast in shipping things out and their products are always top notch. I make oils in my business so the quality of the products is extremely important to me. I have been buying from Monterey Bay Herb Company for years and they have never once let me down!
