The Tour

Tours run every hour and cover the entire production process—from blending to packaging. You'll see million-dollar equipment turning raw ingredients into the tea boxes you see in grocery stores.

The Mint Room

The highlight of the tour. A small room filled with peppermint and spearmint so intense it clears sinuses and makes eyes water. It's oddly addictive—people go back for second visits.

Tea Sampling

The tea shop offers unlimited sampling of every variety Celestial makes. Staff help you find new favorites. The shop sells teas, merchandise, and discounted products.

Pro Tip: Tours fill up, especially on weekends. Arrive 15 minutes early to secure your spot. Children under 5 can't join the factory tour but can enjoy the sampling area. No open-toed shoes allowed on the factory floor.
