Celestially Seasoned

My friend Joann and I decided on a date to the Celestial Seasonings plant in Boulder, CO.

I haven't been there in years. The last time was with Marilese and Libby, -that's how long ago!

We where surprised that the "ticket" for the tour was a pack of tea bags.

Erp~ haha!... tea bags.

The wait for the tour was almost better than the tour itself!

They offer 12 different tastings of tea (hot and cold) to get you started.

Here's Joann, soooo not ready for this photo!

It's like a museum of all things tea. Here's a dress made from tea pouches.

Even better than the dress are the original artworks.

I cant remember the names of ALL of them, but I'll do my best!

Bengal Spice... and this is the only one I remember!

Note that I did not cheat by reading the bottom of the photo!

Decaf China Pearl and yes I did cheat on this one.

I had a hard time deciding which one was my favorite.

Hands down, this was it.

I love when kittens are dressed up!~

The tour starts with a short movie...

 

...and then you get to wear this awesome hairnet.

Admit that you are jealous, and then we can get over it.

 

So... they don't let camera's inside the production floor. I'm not really sure why. Probably so no one steals their ideas or something. It took almost everything in me not to snap a photo while the tour guide wasn't looking. Anyway, we had a great time and came home with some awesome purchases!

After Boulder, we came back to Denver for lunch.

La Loma! Yum yum! I love you "Anniversary Plate"!!!!

Thanks Joann for an awesome date!
