Thank you!
October 31, 2025

A year ago I ordered herbs and made a tea that was extremely effective. I will now make a tincture with those herbs so I decided to purchase more to make more tinctures moving forward. Thank you so much!

Great prices for the amount you get
October 30, 2025

I got a pound of all the items I needed and while I know what a physical pound is... I didnt quite understand the sheer volume of (light) things like cat nip and rose petals would be when you buy a pound! The price for what you get is OUTSTANDING! I was absolutely impressed by what I got.
I will absolutely come back for more... if I EVER run out LOL.

My go-to store for herbs
October 30, 2025
Updated review

I teach basic herbalism classes in my community and have always found Herb Co. To be the best price, best quality and fastest shipping. I rarely need to go anywhere else for any of my herbal items. It truly is my online go-to resource.

Great resource for herbs

I am making sachets to keep woolen sweaters safe from moths and I was pleased to find all the herbs I needed at reasonable prices and in small enough quantities that I wasn't overwhelmed with more than I needed. The website was easy to use and the shipping was speedy.

Good selection

It has been a long time since there has been enough of what I need in stock. Shipping is high so making a large order is better cost.

I just started a small business that sells handcrafted tea blends and I had used Monterey Bay Herb Co in the past for personal use and Christmas gifts and it's been a wonderful product to have to sell to my customers!

Love this company
October 24, 2025

Our company has been ordering from them for a couple of years. They have a great choice of teas & herbs. We would give them a 5 star but lately they have been out of a lot of the items we need. We prefer getting everything we can from one compony because of the shipping fees but lately we have been having to use some other companies which means smaller order so more shipping charges.

Great Sevice
October 24, 2025

Called with a question. Is the Psyllium Husk organic? The guy on the phone directed me to the bottom of the web page that was off my computer screen. Indeed it is organic. I placed my order for a pound of Organic Psyllium Husk and a pound of Cranberry Powder. Great Experience and very helpful. Will order again

Thanks for the coupon
October 23, 2025

I hadn't ordered in a while and was delighted to receive a 20% coupon. This summer, I picked up some tea in Oregon while traveling, then. I tried buying locally here in the Boston area and was shocked at the price of the tea at a small Cambridge.tea vendor!

While I hate to pay shipping, you're the best option I found! And I love your tea.

Quick and Professional
October 23, 2025

This is only my second order and I am building up the herbs i need for my business. Everything comes in a timely manner and the packaging is wonderful. Everything i opened to check/sift through to put into glass containers were wonderful. I will be recommended them and buying from the more in the future as well. Becoming a clinical herbalist is so important to me and the top quality packaging and ingredients are top tier!
