I have had nothing but great service and products in my dealings with Monterey Bay. Prices have been going up steadily but are higher than my other suppliers by a good percentage.

Not the average customer
April 21, 2025

Sadly I guess the average customer must want loose leaf tea. We love the tea quality but really hate the inexact nature of measuring tea out each time. Looks like we'll have to go where we belong with the ignorant who buy overpriced poor quality tea elsewhere that's found in bags.

Great place for bulk herbs
April 20, 2025

I've been shopping here for years. The only downside is that you can't get free shipping on a typical household sized order.

Will continue to use Monterrey Bay for our herb needs. We've ordered 11 different and each one has been high quality. Their prices are very reasonable and shipping is fast.

Fast, consistent, professional
April 20, 2025

Consistent service, extremely fast shipping, good availability of inventory, mostly consistent product from batch to batch, sometimes there's variability which is frustrating, but I am not sure if it's possible to attain greater consistency, or at least, I haven't seen better. Of course, they have the best pricing so that's a no-brainer.

Updated review

I purchase 80% of the herbs I buy from Monterey Bay. I have never been disappointed with anything. I know I'm getting a fresh product. I recommend you to all of my family and friends.

Date of experience: April 9, 2025

Good. My only complaint is when I can't get my Elderberyy due to it being out of stock.

Appreciate You

Love your selection and quick turn around. One problem is that we use asafoetida in some of our banishing kits, but it is so very hard to find. Would you consider carrying this in the future?
Thanks,
