I love MBHerb Co!
April 8, 2026

MBHC is a delight to work with. They're products are amazing and they are very timely with shipping. It's the only place I get my teas and herbs from unless I'm traveling abroad.

Quality, availability, value
April 8, 2026
Updated review

I recently shopped Monterey Bay Herb Co because an herb I was looking for was not available through the company I have purchased from for years. As a midwife, I need quality, organic herbs when formulating pregnancy teas, tinctures, salves,, syrups, and ointments. I was very satisfied with my order and now have an account. Thank you Monterey Bay Herb Co!

I'm a midwife and use a LOT of herbs. I've been purchasing from a competitor company, but so far, your pricing seems to be better. If shipping is as quick, you may be my new go-to!

Worth every penny!
April 8, 2026

I bought the Dandelion Root tea and the Burdock Root tea. I've only tried the Dandelion as of now, but I really like the taste! Helps me get in my daily water easily, and I get several cups out of a single serving of the mixture.

Good amount of herbs and spices.

Really like the selection of herbs and spices. Most are not available as they are on back order. Shipping coat is rather high as well too.

Great value and low waste
April 7, 2026

It feels very silly to throw away glass jars every time a spice runs out— now I just refill them from your website. It's more affordable and less wasteful, plus the spices seem fresher and more flavorful than what I can buy at the store.

Quality products
April 7, 2026

I have ordered a few things from Monterey Bay Herb Company and have not been disappointed with the quality of their products. The shipping is a little pricey which is why I gave 4 stars, but the products are excellent.

High prices …
April 6, 2026

Have been a long time customer … Great quality.! But I can not meet the minimum to receive a discount or free shipping … I would greatly appreciate it if you would lower the minimum for customers like me … I would be able to ship more often …! Thank you for your consideration …

Generous people, great products, fast shipping!
April 6, 2026
Updated review

These folks really have it all. They have great quality products at fantastic prices. They ship quickly and it gets there before you'd expect it. And they are generous... I ordered 1/4 pound of Frankincense, and they were out of stock, so they sent me 1 pound instead. Not many companies operate that way these days.

My "Go To" for herbs and teas
April 3, 2026
Updated review

Monterey Bay is my "go to" for herbs, teas, and spices. They have a great selection including some hard to find product. The prices are reasonable. Shipping costs aren't outrageous. The product is delivered in a timely fashion and has always been fresh.
The one time I needed to contact customer support was with regard to the website (it works better with the Firefox browser than it does with Chrome). The support person was pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable. The problem was resolved in minutes.
I've recommended this company to several of my children and many more friends.

My Go-To for all things tea and herbal
March 16, 2026
Previous review

I've been a customer for well over 5 years and have always received fresh, quality products at reasonable prices, available in several sized for customer convenience. The one time I needed to call customer service, I was greeted by a pleasant person who was able to resolve my issues within minutes.
For these reasons, Monterey Bay Herb Co. Is my "go-to" whenever I need spices, herbs, or teas. I've recommended them to many friends over the years and those who have placed orders are also very happy with the services.
