Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory, Boulder

Delivered a boxing machine here on 4-22-22 on my semi truck. People here were extremely nice. Even gave sime samples of tea while i waited. I was nevwr a tea drinker but this was great. I think they turned me into a tea drinker. Also I was able to watch the lune with the tea being packaged and i must say i was impressed how clean everything was inside. I have been to many food manufacturers before and this may have been the cleanest. Ill say they gained a new customer as I will be purchasing their products for sure.

The Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory is a must visit if in the area! Their entire property is beautiful and welcoming. They have a large parking lot and you enter into their "waiting area" which is a large tea room where you get a tea cup to walk around and try all their teas! I enjoyed looking at their vintage and rare tea kettles and signs to read hanging on the walls. They had a bakery area to purchase food to go with your free tea samples if you want too. After trying the samples and relaxing for a bit, you start the tour after watching a brief info video about their company. The actual tour was the most fascinating. You walk into the factory where you see thousands of pounds of the herbs waiting to be made into tea bags. The tour guide was very friendly and asked a lot of questions. Workers where busy making tea bags and you can watch them as you tour. The "MINT ROOM" by far was the neatest part of the tour- your senses will be over loaded as you enter into the room which they store all their menthol herbs separate from the rest of the factory because they are so strong! A large amount of fellow touring people could not even enter the room because the menthol is so strong- yet myself and my family loved it. Just walking into the room, it clears your sinus and you can just breath in the refreshing menthol. It was a sensory overload I have never experienced. If doing the tour, enter the mint room and experience this first hand. You get to go by the "packing" part where thousands of tea bags travel down the belt and get machine packed. It was really interesting to see how many tea boxes come out of this factory- and as we learned, the only factory for this large company. After the tour, you are ended at their large gift shop. The gift shop alone is worth stopping by, they sell their teas and tea enthusiasts will love the selection of tea kettles and cups you can collect here. They have a souvenir for just about any type of person- and we spent 45 minutes alone in the gift shop. Visit the Celestial Seasonings factory for some fun, and a unique experience! You cannot go to Boulder without stopping here for a great time.
