Easy to use as a first time customer.
Thank you for allowing consumer sized order. Spoke with Larry & he gave helpful shopping hints.
Easy and Simple! Products were delivered in an efficient and timely manner. Fantastic product!
I haven't been disappointed at all. These seem to be good quality herbs at a great price. Monterey Herb Co is the only I place I buy herbs from when purchasing online.
On time and all were accurate. I have never had any problems with your herbals. I would like to have label that indicate how the herb works, but i can look things up.
If i want to make a wish list for the future, it will not save. This web page can be challahging, as when i did an edit, it eliminated 2 of the items i wanted. Still out of Bromelain?
Loving everything! The quality and the aromas are amazing. Quick shipping and very easy to understand the website
Easy to shop I will be "My experience with Chinese chai tea was delightful. The blend I tried offered a harmonious balance of spices and tea leaves, creating a comforting and aromatic infusion. The aroma alone was enticing, with notes of cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom intermingling beautifully. Upon tasting, I found the flavor to be rich and warming, with a satisfying depth that lingered on the palate. The tea provided a perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness, making it an ideal choice for cozy evenings or relaxed mornings. Overall, my experience with Chinese chai tea was thoroughly enjoyable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the world of flavorful and aromatic teas." again.
First time ordering- I ordered Black Cohosh and Wild Yam roots. They came as expected and quickly. I will reorder.
I love how cheap all the herbs are and the selection of them to choose from. This store has been a big help in providing me with access to the herbs I need for my herd of goats at affordable prices.
Overall it was a great experience. I received my order in about 3 days.
Overall it was a great experience. I was confused about where to apply the code welcome 15 on my first order.

Too many things to fill out for PayPal customers but hope the quality of the product makes up for it!
Pleased with my purchase of organic turmeric and ginger, enjoyed the 15% off!
I did not have a difficult time ordering my valerian root. I have no complaints. I was especially happy when I opened the box and saw how much valerian root, I got for what I paid. I have been paying top dollar at the local health food stores. I started looking for another option to buying valerian root when th local markets kept raising the price. Valerian Root is a very important herb in my nightly tea routine because I use it for sleep. So, I will be continuing to order this herb and try some other herbs also.
It was very easy to find exactly the quantity of product I wanted, enjoyed the variety of herbs available.
