The marshmallow root has little moisture medicinal properties compared to marshmallow root I have purchased elsewhere in the past.
Ive been ordering since 2011. 1 order was very jacked up the last time, I received many items I've never would of ordered! 1 out of many so I hope you all stop smokin the sheebah, OR SMOKE BETTER! Thanks again.
I love your herbs and have to order every 2 weeks which I try to order enough to get free shipping, but the company is always out of the important highly used herbs and sure enough as soon as I have already placed an order, days later it comes back in stock so I have to place another order and have to pay 1/2 the cost in shipping just to get those couple of herbs
Easy to use site, quick shipping. Sometimes they are out of my favorites, otherwise happy with the selection
Great experience every time l have ordered. Teas and herbs are premium quality. Always pleased. I wish you sent tea samples like Adagio Teas with every order
Great packaging, fresh herbs, quick shipping. I'm adding more to my shelves each month I try a new one. Thank you for letting me start small and build up my practice.
I started studying natural remedies and love that I can order a little or a lot
Fresh herbs quick shipping and great packaging
Mostly great prices. I will shop here again. The amount to "free shipping" is on the high side and I felt the bilberries were overpriced for what I received but otherwise very happy with my purchase
Easy to find what I was looking for
I had ordered a tea that I did not enjoy. They easily sent a second amount of the tea to ensure that it was not a bad lot. It was my taste buds, not the tea.
I am not sure what this question is asking. I ordered years ago.
So worth the money! I have ordered from a number of different companies but Monterey Bay Spice Company is my absolute favorite. Better selection, better quality, quick service... And their tea selection is my favorite!
I love this company they have the best prices and teas and spices I've been using them for years and I absolutely enjoy buying from them everything is packaged wonderfully and everything arrives on time
The products we get from Monterey Bay are of the highest quality. We do wish Monterey Bay still offered a USPS option for shipping, as we like to support our postal workers.
These were authentic Wildcrafted, Black Sambucus Elderberries. They made the best syrup and sea moss gel. My family loves the taste and quality. We use these to boost the immune system and to relieve cold and flu symptoms.
We had a very good experience ordering from Monterey Bay. The time from order to delivery was very quick and seamless. We will continue to order from them.
I love your mulling spice and Amazon didn't have it so I found your website. Thank you for this great product!
My go-to for all my herb needs. Custoner service is great, products are fresh, orders arrive quickly. What more could one need?
I've purchased from these folks for over 20 years (at least I think it's been that long). Never had any problems and the products have always be the best quality.
The various hoops to jump to finalize a sale could be reduced, but the reduced price on being able to buy herbs, spices and teas is worth the small hassle 😁.
Beautifully designed website - joy to use. And that products of herbs are available in 1/4 pound sizes makes it easy for the user to keep their home supply fresh.
I was looking for a supplier of herbs for my small batch tallow business out of my home. Monterey Bay and their certifications and sustainability practice was just what I was looking for to use in my health and beauty products. The mix of the benefits of tallow, jojoba (carrier oil)Monterey Bay herbs and essential oils enables natural beauty, healthy skin and skin protection without any preservatives or chemicals. As was intended.
Overall I am happy with this company for our tea needs. I appreciate that they ate local and offer organic options. The communication is excellent. My last batch of chamomile tasted different but Overall I'm happy enough to keep ordering here. 😊
I enjoy my teas from Monterey Bay. I like that their local. The tea is quality. The service is prompt. That is, customer service replies. Shipping is great and I'm informed about the status of my tea. If they're out of a tea I can opt to be notified and, there is an expected restock date also. The variety is amazing as well. I'm sticking with MBHC.
Only hope that you guys survive this $#*! storm for as long as i do. There isnt a better supplier for get-what-you-order herbs.
Great price, i just wish the USPS wasnt being B**TF**K*D by the federal regime.
Hibiscus makes the tyranny easier to swallow. Thanks for being friend!
I just want to order one thing, and had to jump through hoops with passwords, etc. Took forever to order one item. Shipping is way too high also.
