I make tea with these every day. Helps my nagging cough significantly.
Their tea is a substandard tea it's basically ok - they actually sent me a "herbal" tea that had Stevia in it - lol 😝
As I inquired to return the product, I was told that I would have to pay for shipping, the item cost me $20. I had to pay $10 to return it so basically I purchased an item that I returned and only got half of the money back.
It is VERY user friendly. Thank you. I am VERY happy with the product. I think I ordered a lil too much for just me but I'm still happy. Thank you
The online experience was quick & delivery, the same. I didnt know how much 1/4 lbs of star anise was, so I got 2. Lol
My friends are very happy & it was much less expensive that buying a little jar at the grocery store for $10
Everything was very smooth, you kept my cart ready, I had to wait for a certain date to order and checkout was a breeze. Buying direct is a better way to shop. Thank you all for you all do.

Quick ordering process and great pricing. The teas are delicious and fresh.
I have been purchasing from Monterey Bay Herb Co. For years and have been quite satisfied with the amount of products to select from. My orders have always come quickly and in good condition.
It was a little difficult to locate where to add the item to my cart.
I'm laced my order and was delivered early so wonderful! Exactly what I needed!
Easy to find what I was looking for. Great prices quick delivery
This was our first order with Monterey Bay Herb co... but will not be our last! It was easy and quick! Great website! Easy checkout! Fast delivery! The products are perfect!
In general not pleased with the quality of product. Black tea is absolutely not usable and is of a low grade tea. Much better quality at lower prices available at local stores! Will not shop again.
I liked the set up and how easy it is to find things. Please add turkey tail mushroom & pao pereira (for cancer)
Site was easy to use and quick especially liked the short videos
Very easy and simple to order. Has a large variety of herbs at very reasonable prices. Very easy to order fro
Great spices. Haven't ordered for a while hope the quality is still there.
