Tea Tour

Tea Tour Information

At Celestial Seasonings, the safety of our employees and tea is our top concern. In response to the public health threat presented by COVID-19, we have made the decision to temporarily close our Tour Center, Tea Shop and Café until further notice. While we cannot commit to a re-open date at this time, we look forward to welcoming back our fans from around the world to our campus and resuming our free tour program. We will provide updates as the public health risks of COVID-19 continue to unfold.

Thank you for your understanding & we wish you good health.
