We love to shop locally in Boulder. We jog to the brewery in our Newton running shoes, we shop at Natural Grocers, and we enjoy a warm mug of Celestial Seasonings tea. Of course, the conversation always comes up about what flavor of tea is our favorite. After doing extensive tea-drinking research, we have narrowed it down to our favorite five flavors. Whether you’re looking to unwind under a warm blanket or get caffeinated for the day, these delicious blends are sure to warm you up.
- Morning Thunder—Need a pick-me-up but not in the mood for coffee? Try Morning Thunder. A combination of black tea and roasted maté makes for a very energizing brew with savory, earthy flavors.
- Chamomile & Lavender—We don’t always drink tea to wake up—sometimes we like to wind down with a light, herbal brew. That’s why our pick for #4 is Chamomile & Lavender tea. This caffeine-free blend will help you relax with fresh, floral scents and flavors.
- Immunity Tea—When we get sick, nothing soothes our aches and sore throats like Immunity tea. With echinacea and elderberry, this delicious beverage also supports immune health.
- Antioxidant Green Tea—It’s no coincidence that Celestial Seasonings’ Antioxidant Green Tea is popular in office kitchens around town—it’s the tea of choice among the healthy crowd! It also contains caffeine in case you’re not quite ready to give up your morning kick-start.
Pro tip: Check out the Celestial Seasonings website for healthy recipes using Antioxidant Green Tea.
- Dirty Chai—Our absolute favorite tea from Celestial Seasonings is Dirty Chai. Ever go out to brunch and drink the perfect chai tea, then go to every grocery store in town trying to re-create what you had at the restaurant? We did! We tried every chai tea bag on the shelf and Dirty Chai blew them all away. The flavor has that familiar spicy chai taste that we love and it does not skimp on the cinnamon and black tea flavors. Dirty chai kicks it up a notch with an extra ingredient most chai tea bags lack: espresso leaves! It makes for a delicious combination, perfect to get your morning started.
For the perfect cup:
- Place 1 tea bag of Dirty Chai in coffee mug
- Fill 3/4 with boiling water
- Let steep for 5 min
- Add a splash of Organic Vanilla Soy Milk
Don’t forget, Celestial Seasonings has over 105 varieties of tea flavors to choose from. So grab a mug, put a kettle on the stove, and find your new favorite blend.
