Aways satisfied with every order. Been doing business for years.
Always as expected and good quality on time and looks like it does online
The experience here is phenomenal. From find the herbs I need to the checkout process to shipping (which is quick) to the amazing quality that I receive, I am always grateful.
Satisfied with the product as always. I love your lavender.
The herbs that we needed arrived quickly and were just what we needed.
Items as expected at a reasonable cost. Wish shipping was cheaper though without buying $250 worth of items.
Good price for the tea but would like to have free or lower shipping as I buy more
My order was delivered within a few days. Great quality, I've been making tea every day, it's wonderful.
Great products and good prices in comparison. Very pleased with experience.
It's a huge jump from 1# to 100#. Would love to be able to order bulk spices in slightly smaller quantities.
I love the herbs from Monterey Bay Spice Co. 2 of which I couldn't find elsewhere. Thank you! Now you have a customer for life!

The breadth of products and the quality of the products always makes me excited each time a package arrives. I have never had less than an excellent herb, tea, powder, etc. The prices, even after retail taxes are very reasonable. I now have a highly functioning "apothecary" in my house and i love referring to it often, whether it is for medicinal purposes or just to have a delicious blend of herbal tea. I usually buy more than I can use, and give some away to friends and family, some of whom are also now customers. Just bought a pound of spearmint leaves because I thought it would be nice over the winter to have a regular "kaPOW" in the day. Can't wait to make a tea blend with my Rooibos, and glad I restocked my lions mane powder for my coffee and tea.
I recommend Monterey Bay Spice Company any chance I have, and urge you to try them if you haven't!
