I had an amazing experience on the free tour! It’s definitely worth it. The history is fascinating, and it's incredible to know that this is the only factory of its kind in the world. During the tour, you’ll get to see the packaging area and learn about how they store their herbs and teas—plus, you can’t miss the mint room (just be careful not to rub your eyes in there!). Note that children under 5 aren’t allowed, but for everyone else, there are plenty of free samples of nearly all their teas to enjoy. The gift shop is also fantastic! Your ticket for the free tour comes in the form of a sample tea packet. If you’re looking for a bite to eat afterward, there’s a café available as well. Highly recommend!
This is one of my favorite spots to visit when I'm in the Front Range. The tour is complimentary and includes a film about the company as well as a walkthrough of the actual factory. You'll get to see the tea blending lines and bulk ingredient storage. I particularly enjoyed spending time in the mint storage room—it’s a great way to clear your sinuses! Their tea room offers a wide variety of teas that you can sample for free. The shop features a range of teas, including some that aren't available in stores, along with various gift items. The staff were exceptionally friendly. Celestial is my favorite tea brand, and I really appreciate the effort they make to share their products with the public.
As locals, we truly enjoy this complimentary tour! They always offer a variety of new tea flavors to taste, and the tea gift shop is simply charming. All the tea samples before the tour are free, so by the time you're ready to make a purchase, you'll know exactly what you'll love. I brought my ninety-year-old mom here, and she had a fantastic time. I recommend doing the tour and then staying for lunch at the lovely café. Just be sure to check the hours, as I don't believe the café is open on weekends. The artwork surrounding you will lift everyone's spirits and create a joyful atmosphere.
I also had the opportunity to watch the tea being packaged, and I was genuinely impressed by how clean everything was inside. I've been to several food manufacturing facilities, and this one might just be the cleanest I've seen. Thanks to this experience, I will definitely be purchasing their products in the future. Consider me a new customer!
I had a very engaging tour experience. The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about the company and its teas. The tour provided a wealth of information, and its duration was just right. Before the tour began, we enjoyed a sampling session that featured a great selection of both hot and cold teas. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone in the area with even a mild interest in the company and its products.
