Always great quality
February 5, 2026

I have been purchasing from this company for about a decade now and I have never been disappointed. Quality is always great and so are the prices.

Quality products, and service
February 3, 2026

The description that Herbco has for the quality assurance and sourcing of their products is very reassuring and using their products has provided healthy benefits for us.

Fast service at a price
February 3, 2026

Love the products I get, however the shipping costs are getting so high that I have to go months without buying and be out of everything in order to get free shipping. It is not working for me.

It was super easy to shop and find what I was looking for. Pretty cool how some of the teas even had the location they came from!

Great prices for the quantity and quality of the team. You're my go-to for tea!

Mixed experience
January 31, 2026

Usually great products but my slippery elm powder is totally different. Not sure what happened but it's no longer gelling like before. Now I have a pound of powder I can't use.

Free Shipping
January 31, 2026

Free Shipping price seems a little high. Quality and origin of spices are excellent. We take pride in our products we make and where it comes from. As a self funded competition BBQ season mfg startup company, we have to watch costs at this point and stage.

Who needs Amazon anyway?

I had been looking for a source for organic psyllium ever since I decided not to give Amazon any more of my money directly, and you've been great! Great product, too. Will definitely be re-ordering for my daily fiber boost.

First order of the new year - 2026
January 29, 2026
Updated review

Two herbs ordered - lavender flowers (organic)(2 pounds) and kelp powder (1 pound).
Asked for the most efficient delivery (priority mail) and received my order in less than a week! Yay!
Able to dispense the products to my customers quickly and without delays in shipping.

So far I' VE only used anise seed, dandelion root and fennel for constipation. So far I have not had much luck, but I know that it takes time and to mix and match roots and powders. I am not disappointed at all.

Love ordering from HerbCo!
January 27, 2026
Updated review

I love ordering from this company. Prices cannot be beat and everything comes fairly quickly. I also like the options they provide for 1/4 pound or full pound. Everything on the website is easy to find and I'm looking forward to continuing to order from them. Have not had to utilize their customer service yet so I can't speak about that but so far I am very happy with them!

Purchased bulk tea for a bridal shower tea party. This site had the best prices and I was asked by others where to get the teas.

Good product, easy ordering.
January 25, 2026

Very happy with product overall. But, since you are asking, I bought a pound of bayleaf a few orders ago that was absolutely awful. Tiny pieces and not a single whole leaf in the bag.

Although When I looked at your catalog page, I did not see anything about mushrooms but when I typed in the request for mushrooms in Google you came up. You also had a larger portion than my previous supplier and at a comparatively very economical price.

Great product and service.
January 25, 2026

The herbs I ordered are very fresh and fragrant. One of the herb bags was not sealed and the contents was falling out. I contacted the seller and was sent a new bag, no questions asked.

Deceptive ordering/shipping policy!
January 25, 2026

I placed a $60 order and paid the flat $16 shipping fee. Then I got an email saying one item (which was about $12) was unavailable- even though it ALLOWED ME TO ORDER IT. It furthermore informed me that their system is not set up for back orders so I would need to place a separate order to order the item again and PAY ANOTHER $16 SHIPPING FEE - because they didn't have something in stock I ordered on one, single order! Yes, I confirmed this "policy" with their customer service. Ridiculous! To think this company came recommended to me! I will definitely not be recommending them to anyone!
