Site worked well and we got what I ordered promptly. We are making homemade mustard for Christmas gifts Thanks.
Easy to navigate through the website, and making a purchase was very simple and straightforward.
Been shopping here for years. A great place for bulk spices.
Good quality products that ship fast! Products are packed well for shipping and everything is label.
Love the products And always quick service! I have been very impressed with items i have received so fat.
Quick and easy delivery. Well packed, I don't have any complaints about the hers.
I found all the herbs that I've been wanting and the search engine is so quick and accurate.
I am really glad I found a California based herb and spice company to support.
Great selection and speedy service and shipping.
Easy to use website with excellent product images and fair pricing.
Very easy to find raw materials, get bulk pricing and order on the website. Would like to see COA's on website but that can be time consuming to keep updated and they always respond quickly to my requests for them.
Very good,you have a diversity of natural herbs,i did ordered a few times
The website is easy to navigate, the search function works well, and there is ample, clear, transparent information on all pricing. No hidden fees, and if something has to be calculated at checkout (like shipping costs), it SAYS that it has to be calculated at checkout, but also provides a way to estimate the shipping beforehand. My only suggestion is that it would be handy if there were a paper saying how long to steep the tea and how hot to get the water. And since that information can be Googled, I'm very happy. The tea is delicious and the value for what you pay is out of this world.
So far, so good. Would order again. This should take care of the minimum of 59 characters for the review requirement.
Excellent products in great packaging! Love being able to get bulk products :)
Simple easy order process and timely shipping. Well packaged
The products came quickly after ordered. I can't speak too much on the quality as I've never had loose leaf teas before (ordered meadowsweet, marshmallow root, lemon balm, and chamomile because I heard the blend is good for gut health), but the Chai Up and Atom was amazing. I'll be ordering again.
The tea I purchased was high quality and there's a wide variety of options to choose from. The prices are decent and it arrived at my door quickly.
Always fast shipping and excellent quality. I always check this site before all others.
Ordering is easy and delivery is fast. Only downside is they don't have decaf products other than herbal teas.
It was really great and the herbs are freshly packaged and sealed.
