Product Description

About the Brand

In 1969, 19-year-old Mo Siegel and his friend Wyck Hay found a bountiful harvest of wild herbs growing around Boulder, Colorado. With friends and wives helping, they picked the herbs and produced 500 pounds of their first blend, called MO's 36 Herb Tea. It was packaged in hand-sewn muslin bags and sold to a local health food store. Hay's brother, John, joined the partnership in 1971. The entrepreneurs set up shop in an old barn outside of Boulder, and they expanded their market to stores throughout Colorado, New Mexico, and the East Coast. The partners also began buying herbs rather than picking everything themselves, and the dream of a national herb tea company slowly began to materialize. This dream was reinforced when Red Zinger Herb Tea was introduced in January 1972 and was an immediate sensation. It remains one of the best-selling Celestial teas.

The company continued to grow and revolutionize the tea industry. Herb teas had previously been perceived as only of medicinal significance, but Celestial Seasonings introduced herb teas as flavorful, healthy beverages, virtually creating the modern tea industry. Celestial Seasonings solidified its sources for obtaining ingredients, such as hibiscus flowers and chamomile, by working closely with herb farmers from the Pacific Northwest to the exotic Far East. This forward thinking attracted the attention of food industry giant Kraft, Inc., which bought Celestial Seasonings in 1984. Kraft's guidance brought Celestial Seasonings to the attention of new consumers, further strengthening its lead in the herb tea industry while also introducing a gourmet line of traditional, or black, teas. In September 1988, Kraft sold Celestial Seasonings back to its management, returning the tea company to independent ownership. The company remains headquartered in Boulder, in the corporate facility on Sleepytime Drive.

The company, in 1991, experienced the exciting return of its original founder and leader, Mo Siegel, as chairman and chief executive officer. Since then, the company has expanded upon its herbal expertise bringing to market successful lines of Green, Wellness, Organic, and Chai teas. In 2000, Celestial joined forces with the Hain Food Group, maker of many top-selling natural foods brands. Today, serving more than 1.2 billion cups of tea per year, Celestial Seasonings is the largest herb tea manufacturer in North America and is expanding internationally at a rapid rate. Assured of Celestial Seasonings leadership position in the herb tea industry, Mo retired in September 2002 to fulfill another dream: to finish hiking the last set of 14,000-foot Colorado mountains he has yet to climb.

I love this tea. The flavor is fresh and clean. It is so good hot and even better at room temperature. I drink about 6-8 cups a day and it makes me feel full and satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars I make 3 gallons at a time., May 20, 2008

This review is from: Celestial Seasonings Green Tea, Decaf, 40-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

For many years, I have been buying this tea from Amazon. The quality, freshness and price are excellent. At home, I boil 3 gallons of water and drop 14 bags into it and let it steep. It would probably be better to pour the water into the tea bags, but it would be too inconvenient. After it cools a bit, I pour the tea into approximately 18 clean Arizona Iced Tea bottles, Snapple bottles, Nantucket Nectar bottles, and a collection of other bottles that I have collected for this purpose. I place the bottles in the refrigerator, and enjoy the tea as I want it. I always have a cold bottle ready, and friends often stop over looking for iced decaf green tea. After trying many brands, I find that Celestial Seasonings has the best taste. In my office, I brew one or two bottles at a time. Although I often drink the tea hot, my drink of choice is iced Celestial Seasonings decaf green tea (with Sweet & Low added). I highly recommend this tea.
