If brews aren't your drink of choice in terms of unwinding, we are willing to bet that an herbal tea is more your thing (and that Celestial Seasonings is your place)! From the manufacturing and packaging center to the infamous Mint Room to the delicious Celestial Café, there is no shortage of things to love on your tour of the Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory.

What is better than touring a candy factory and seeing how your favorite sweets are made? Touring a candy factory, seeing how your favorite sweets are made, AND getting a free sample of one of Hammond's famous treats!
