This is my first experience with you so I have no idea how the herbs will be, but so far the experience has been great! You had the herb I needed in stock, when none of my other sources had it!

We've been ordering bulk herbs from Monterey Herb Company for some time now, and they consistently exceed our expectations. The quality is always top-notch—fresh, fragrant, and exactly what we need for our products. Their prices are excellent for the value, and the shipping is incredibly fast and reliable. It's a pleasure doing business with a company that delivers both great products and great service. Highly recommend!

I'm a fan
August 22, 2025
Updated review

I've ordered from Monterey Bay Herb Co. For several years, might be close to a decade by now, and I've never had a problem. The herbs always arrive on time, the prices are better than any company I've previously used, shipping rates are reasonable, and customer service is top notch (and I worked in customer service for 30+ years). The selection is great, and, if needed, they will email you when an item is back in stock. The herbs are well labeled, including genus and species, arrive in resealable pouches, and fill the room with aroma when opened. They are fresh and good quality herbs. The website also offers brewing temperatures and times for the teas they sell. I cannot say enough good things about this product, the company and the staff.

Hi there, Elaine! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review — and for nearly a decade of trust in us. Hearing praise from someone with 30+ years in customer service means a lot; it lets us know we’re on the right path. We’re happy the little touches like clear labeling, resealable pouches, restock updates, and brewing tips add something extra for you. Here’s to many more fragrant, fresh batches headed your way! 🌿✨🍵


Reliable Source for Herbs, Spices, and Teas
February 11, 2025
Previous review

Monterey Bay Herb Co. Has become my "go to" source for herbs spices and teas. The product is well sourced and the dried goods have always been aromatic and colorful. Some items are out of stock when out of season, but I've not run into many. The prices are reasonable or lower than any other company I've tried in the last 25 years. The orders ship quickly. Everything I'm looking for in a distributor. Thank you!
