Celestial Seasonings Teas- Review and Giveaway

Celestial Seasonings, a leading brand of all-natural specialty tea- offer a variety of delicious, extraordinary tea-drinking experiences. Each of the more than 90 flavors they make is expertly crafted using only the highest quality 100 percent natural herbs, teas, spices and fruits to produce fresh, delicious tea.

Recently, Celestial Seasonings® partnered with the non-profit organization Trees for the Future to plant more than one million trees in developing countries around the globe. As tea drinkers, you can join Celestial Seasonings in planting trees in two fun ways: by purchasing the brand’s all-natural teas between now and March 31, 2009, and by www.celestialseasonings.com, where they are given the opportunity to participate in a free interactive program that turns “virtual trees” into reality.

“Our tree-planting program is a fun, affordable way for Celestial Seasonings tea drinkers to make a difference during trying economic times,” said Peter Burns, General Manager of Celestial Seasonings. “With the help of our valued consumers and the like-minded environmental stewards at Trees for the Future, we will sponsor the planting of more than one million trees and help promote sustainability worldwide.”

Online visitors to www.celestialseasonings.com can plant a tree in a virtual forest generated entirely by fellow users. For each virtual tree planted, Celestial Seasonings will sponsor the planting of one real tree in a developing country by Trees for the Future. The online experience enables visitors to view the growing virtual forest of trees and watch their own tree sprout and grow. Users also discover how trees benefit the environment and economies of emerging nations by improving the quality of their water, air and soil, promoting biodiversity and generating additional income.

Visitors also learn about the brand’s earth-friendly practices, including the growing, harvesting and sourcing of their ingredients and the packaging of their products. Because they have worked with many of the same farmers for more than 30 years, the specialty tea leader has been able to establish sustainable harvests and support ethical trade practices. Additionally, Celestial Seasonings’ use of minimal packaging, including a unique tea bag that requires no strings, tags, staples or individual wrappers, saves more than 3.5 million pounds of waste from entering landfills annually.

Since 1988, Trees for the Future has planted more than 70 million trees in Central America, Africa and Asia – helping thousands of communities improve their livelihoods and their environment. These newly planted trees remove approximately 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year.

Personally, I have always been a fan of Celestial Seasonings teas. Cozying up to a warm cup and feeling relaxed couldn't be any better with these all-natural, delicious teas from Celestial Seasonings:

*NEW Sleepytime Throat Tamer wellness tea: a special blend that features all of the calming and relaxing qualities of Sleepytime®, including aromatic spearmint from the Pacific Northwest and soothing Egyptian chamomile. Licorice root and slippery elm bark help coat the throat and provide the perfect, all natural remedy for seasonal discomfort, while the rejuvenating infusion of lemongrass and ginger provide comforting aroma and flavor.

*Regular Sleepytime Tea herbal tea: the perfect cup of tea for bedtime! The comforting aroma and flavor of spearmint from the Pacific Northwest blends with soothing Egyptian chamomile. This is a classic blend with herbal ingredients that have been soothing for centuries. Sleepytime helps you relax by blending the best of nature. There’s no time like Sleepytime!

*Lemon Zinger herbal tea: The classic flavor of Lemon Zinger is crafted from whole lemons blended with hibiscus and lemongrass—flavorful ingredients especially appreciated for their refreshing qualities in the hot and humid weather of their native tropics. Rosehips add a gentle sweetness to balance the zing of the hibiscus. Lemon Zinger is delicious and comforting hot, but is also particularly revitalizing when prepared as iced tea.

Delight your palate, nourish your body and feed your mind and spirit with the unique and healthful herb, green, white, black, red, organic, Chai and wellness teas from Celestial Seasonings.
