| Resource: | Virtual Field Trip to Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory | ||
| Provider: | Celestial Seasonings Tea Company | ||
| Summary: | This tea company strives to be socially responsible by engaging in ethical fair trade practices and promoting sustainable farming. At their website you can take a virtual tour of their tea processing plant in Boulder, Colorado to see how they create their tea blends | ||
| Description: | Younger children may enjoy aspects of this tour/site with parental assistance Do you enjoy drinking a cup of tea? You may have tried some of the unique tea blends created by Celestial Seasonings such as "Mandarin Orange Spice,""Lemon Zinger," and "Sleepytime."in Boulder, Colorado to see how they create their tea blends. Watch a series of 5 short video clips that explain how Celestial Seasonings: *Selects the ingredients for their tea blends from locations worldwide *Tests the ingredients for quality *Cleans, mills, refines and blends the tea ingredients *Bags the tea for individual servings, and packages the tea for distribution *Maintains an art gallery of their tea box covers at their gift shop in Boulder, Colorado Speaking of the artwork on the tea boxes, Celestial Seasonings offers FREE coloring pages of their tea box artwork. Just print out the black and white outline drawings, grab some crayons, and have fun! Here's the direct link http://www.homefires.com/click?colortea When you are through taking the virtual tour, you may enjoy the "Interactive Timeline" of the company's history. It began when some flower children of the 1960s began picking herbs in the Colorado mountains. Here's the direct link http://www.celestialseasonings.com/about/timeline.html As you explore the website, notice the "Tea and Health" sidebar on the right side of each page. It offers interesting facts about the health benefits of drinking tea, as well as interesting trivia about tea and the other ingredients used by Celestial Seasonings. This website has lots to offer that isn't easily available from the main menu that is displayed. For that reason, I encourage you to go to the site map here http://www.celestialseasonings.com/sitemap.html You will find links to: *Character Symbols - CS's green tea products display nine symbolic Asian characters representing qualities such as perseverance, wisdom, and joy that are displayed and explained here. *Artist Profiles - Meet some of the artists responsible for creating the tea box covers. *Tea and Health - Read articles about the health benefits of drinking tea. *All About Herbs - Explore a terrific, interactive encyclopedia of herbs from Alfalfa to Wintergreen. *Interactive Tea Selector - Answer a series of questions about what you want/like in a tea, and this device will recommend the CS tea that's the best match.
