It's a huge jump from 1# to 100#. Would love to be able to order bulk spices in slightly smaller quantities.

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!

Customer for life
October 25, 2024

I love the fact that when I purchase something that is the only ingredient on the label. No extra added stuff I don't want. Always high quality and a great price. I highly recommend shopping here.

Beautiful website
October 25, 2024
Updated review

I added a few items to my order list, and for each one, other possible similar choices were listed — a different source-country, organic — which saved a lot of time for not having to go back and dig to find other similar products.

Date of experience: October 14, 2024

Nice website, with lots of information about each product. The only 'problem' is deciding which specific variety to choose, since for many herbs and spices there are many choices.

Inquiry with no resolution

I received my order on 9/27. I inquired about why the calendula was not orange and was told that an investigation was initiated. It is over two weeks later andI have not gotten a response.
