Can anyone suggest other online sources that accepts credit cards and has
fast shipping, for herbs and spices? I've used Penn herb but have found
that their stuff tends to acquire a certain sameness of smell and I'm not
sure it's fresh. Atlantic Spice is well regarded but they only cover the
things I can get by phone order more easily from The Village Herb Shop, my
favorite not-quite-local supplier. (Anyone who will sell me an armload of
dried hops on the vine for the Celtic Classic demo is my hero, ok?)
