Great quality products, but at times extremely expensive. Reason for 3 stars.
In a word: Excellent. In several words: Excellent, EXCELLENT (((((EXCELLENT)))) *ahem*:-) From a long-time customer.
Great tea. Fresh and flavorful. Carefully produced and packaged.
I'm a locked-in customer for a reason.

I received my Passion Flower herbs very quickly. Thank you!
Our experience was great. Great prices and what seems to be great quality items...
Shipping is very expensive! I wish it was cheaper. It would make it a lot more enticing to order.
I'm impressed every time with the pricing and the quality I've run out of almost nothing
I am happy to have found the Monterey Bay Herb Co., it is nice to have the items I am looking for in stock.
In the past, I have been thankful to find all the herbs that were prescribed by my midwife, both for teas and soaks, at the same location. Shipping can seem high; but when I compare the total price to any other vender, I find that Herbco is the best deal. Not only that, but their products are excellent.
Been buying from Monterey Bay Spice CO. For years and have always been satisfied with products and service.
I am so glad I received your product. I Couldn't be happier. I was quite surprised they were so fresh. Thank you so much. Sincerely jbmac.
