MBHC has been a pivotal player in the health of my horses and our family. Researching herbs and which to provide my animals has been a saving grace for their health and wellness.

Date of experience: December 29, 2025

I order bulk herbs for my horses and I love the benefits they receive from consuming these herbs and I love the saving I receive from this company. The best value on the market. My animal's health and my family's health is vastly improved from the herbs/spices we order from Monterey Bay Herb Co. Thankful for this company.

I've been ordering from Monterey Bay for years and the herbs I order are usually in stock, only recently I've been waiting a couple months for the herbs I need to be restocked. I'm not going anywhere!

I'm very pleased with not only the quality of the herbs but the volume amounts offered. Being able to buy a whole pound of an herb is wonderful and I truly love the quality. I have officially found a new herb company! And that's saying a lot since I don't like change.

As a small business owner just starting out, I appreciate the clear communication on this site. The option to get an email for back ordered items saves a lot of hassle. I can always rely on them to get items back in stock fast and to my door quick. Thank you herb co for helping me provide quality goods for my community!

Great Company and Great Tea
January 13, 2026

Quantities as little as samples sizes, or orders sufficiently large to supply your teahouse storefront, the quality is epic and the prices are en pointe.

I by a lot of bulk spices and have been a fan of East Coast merchants for years. It was an amazing discovery of there being a more affordable and closer option with Monterey Bay Herb Co.

I originally discovered Monterey Bay Herb Co on internet searching for loose leaf teas in bulk. Since then, I have been loyally ordering teas from them for years. Surprisingly, I have never ordered anything that I did not love. Their teas are always fresh, full of flavor and a great value!

Persistence paid off!

Updated review

Pleasant helpful phone staff. Thank you. I contacted Monterey Bay Herb Co. Last fall to purchase four pounds of chicory and found wholesale quantities of 100# bags of roasted ground chicory too much for my needs. The woman on your phone referred me to her retail source online, and from there it was easily done. Quick UPS delivery, nicely packaged in four one-pound bags.

Exceeded expectations!
January 10, 2026

We have a small herbal tea co and can only order small quantities of herbs at a time. We depend on suppliers having good selection of high quality organic herbs at a reasonable price with fast delivery to keep our customers happy. We stumbled on Monterey Bay and have placed several orders since. Every time they have exceeded our expectations. We will continue to use them as our first source before looking anywhere else.

Many of the organic powdered herbs I want are not available on a regular basis: Cranberry and Gotu Kola haven't been available for a long time and I've been forced to buy them elsewhere, which I'd rather not.
