Celestial Seasonings

We toured the Celestial Seasonings Plant today. It was very interesting - we learned the difference between black, white, and green teas, and the difference between caffeinated, decaffeinated, and caffeine free tea among other things.
We also got to experience the Mint Room. It is an enclosed room where all of the spearmint and peppermint leaves are kept before they are milled and put into tea bags. Because it is so fragrant, it would contaminate all of the other herbs in the factory, and must be kept separate. It was intense! Your sinuses clear and you can feel it in your eyes. Imagine being trapped in a jar of Vicks Vapo-Rub!

This is the only Celestial Seasonings production facility in the whole wide world.

On our way to the factory!

We bought Fast Lane tea (more caffeine than a cup of joe, almost as much as a double espresso, perfect for studying!), Chocolate Raspberry Bliss herbal tea (smells just like chocolate), Metabo Partner Wellness tea (it increases metabolism), and organic Celestial Seasonings Morning Thunder coffee beans.
