As mentioned in the post immediately preceding this one, I came across the San Francisco Herb Co. today while searching for a source of Long Life Tea (my supply being about four mugs-worth from the bottom of the bag).
San Francisco Herb Co. is local. The 26K sqft warehouse is located at 250 14th St. The small retail operation at the front of the warehouse is open M-SA 10-4.
San Francisco Herb Company provides Wholesale prices on the highest quality culinary herbs and spices, extracts, teas, dehydrated vegetables, nuts, seeds, botanicals, essential oils, potpourri ingredients and fragrance oils.
You can browse through the available stock, which is sorted into the following categories:
- Herbs and Spices – Baking
- Herbs and Spices – Botanicals
- Herbs and Spices – Miscellaneous
- Catnip
- Green Tea and Other Bulk Tea Products
- Dehydrated Vegetables
- Essential Oils
- Extracts
- Fragrance Oils
- Nuts and Seeds
- Potpourri – Ingredients
- Potpourri – Pre-Mixed
- Potpourri – Recipes

The bulk of their business is mail order. The online catalog is worth a look. I’m planning a field trip to the retail outlet. Soon.
