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.

Customer Reviews

The best
I have been a green tea drinker for a long time and have tried many brands, but I keep coming back to Celestial Seasonings. Very good tea.
This is a lovely flavored tea, never bitter and never has that processed taste that so many teas have. I drink a full pot of it every day and the flavor is always consisent... no nasty surprises.

Amazon has a great value on the 40 count boxes... much cheaper and fresher than I could ever get at my grocery store.

Green Tea Drinker
I have tried several different brands of Green Tea and this is the one most superior. I make it in my coffee pot every morning to drink it hot and take the leftover for iced tea for work. Light refreshing and the health benefits are great!

I Really Enjoy This Tea
I've been drinking Celestial Seasonings for some time now. I enjoy mixing the Green Tea with one of the others that has a bit more flavor. I usually mix it with Apple Cranberry (Celestial Seasonings always) or one of the others that is close to Apple Cranberry. I'm not a coffee drinker, so the Green Tea gives me a little added boost for this Grandmax7 :-)...and the Cranberry Flavors give it the extra taste, my daily ritual!
