I recently purchased monterey bay herb co Raspberry Tea and St johns bush, and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. Upon tasting the tea, I found it to be extremely bitter, which was quite surprising given my previous experiences with raspberry-flavored teas. The bitterness was so strong that it made the tea undrinkable, and this sentiment was echoed by everyone I shared it with.
In addition to the taste, I was concerned about the quality of the tea itself. It appeared to be compromised, possibly due to mold or mildew. This was particularly disappointing given the quantity I ordered, as I expected a much higher standard. St John's was okay not with the flowers I guess as it was just sticks I got!
Despite trying to overlook these issues, the tea's quality simply did not improve. I also attached images and videos taken the day the tea was delivered to their support email, which further highlight the concerns about its condition.
Overall, I am very disappointed with this purchase and hope that monterey bay herbs co takes steps to ensure better quality control in the future. Organic should be organic with no issues, that's why we pay the extra for organic teas!
Excellent experience, excellent shipping, excellent customer service
The selection, ordering process, and delivery were great and timely.
Good product, good price! Peppermint tea bags much cheaper than at the grocery store!
Too complicated to set up an "account." This is a PayPal transaction. KISS!

The prices are just right for us as a small, small Tea, Spice and Herb shop. Have been buying from Herbo Co. Since the beginning of our business over 2 years ago.
Thank you for being reliable! Always delivered within a week.
The teas are delicious and customer service excellent. Always receive shipments quickly.
I wasn't happy with rose petals so I now purchased rise buds to mix the two.
One or two of the steps took some navigation - non obvious at first...
Received my herbs quickly! Started making my syrups! Thank you!
Love the looseleaf tea and the consistency of their product
The teas and spices have always been good, and the prices have pleased me too.
Their website is so easy to navigate, and they provide so much information, that it's my favorite website by far to provide homeopathic remedies to my family.
