Celestial Seasonings Tea Tour

4600 Sleepytime Dr · Boulder, CO

Why you should go…

Celestial Seasonings has blended herbal tea in Boulder since 1969, and its factory on Sleepytime Drive opens its production floor to visitors. The guided tour lasts about 45 minutes and shows how herbs, spices and botanicals are blended and boxed, with a stop in the Mint Room and its peppermint leaves. An art gallery shows the paintings used on the tea boxes, and the tea bar pours free samples. Children under 5 are not allowed on the factory tour.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
