I'd like to view all teas, or maybe even sort by specific ingredients. Could be useful for allergies and all.

Not Good Quality
February 27, 2026

The review about the fennel seed being mostly pieces of seed husk, leaves, etcetera is true. Most of the seeds were broken. Very dissatisfied & never knew the seed could be sold like this.

Herb Volume
February 26, 2026

I've noticed on many herbs, I used to be able to buy singular pounds. Now many you require 2+ pounds of each. As an owner of an Herbal Shop, this limits my ability to get everything I need as I'm being forced to buy more quantities than necessary

Shipping hurts the small orders
February 23, 2026
Updated review

Not many general consumers order over $250 worth of product. Shipping is about half of the cost of the herb I ordered. That does hurt my pocketbook, but the herb is quality and still a bit less than others on the whole.

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!

Might try again.
February 23, 2026

Two items were exceptional and two items were not up to what the listing showed or item description. Might just be the end of the season but the clover tops and dandelion root were disappointing. The bee pollen and marshmallow root were amazing!

Website hard to deal with
February 22, 2026

Wouldn't accept my password used several times previously for login, had to reset password, offered then withdrew 15% discount, all in all frustrating, probably go elsewhere next time.

Good Quality and Affordable Pricing
February 21, 2026

I grow herbs to make remedies all the time, when I do not have them available I shop at HerbCo. They have always had good quality herbs and they have always been packed well for me. Prices are affordable as well, I will always shop here if quality and prices are maintained.
