What's in your cup? As the temperatures drop outside, stay warm with a cup of tea.
I grew up on Texas tea. Tea was served as the beverage-of-choice at every meal. The only variety option was sweet tea or sun tea. Either way, we all drank tea. To be honest, I'm not that big on tea. Truly. But, a trip to Celestial Seasonings headquarters introduced me to herbal tea and a variety of holiday teas offered each year. I'm hooked!
I'm guessing I was the last to know that herbal tea is actually not tea. Herbal tea doesn't contain any tea leaves. And, that's why I love it so! You can learn all about tea as I have from the experts at Celestial Seasonings.
My first herbal tea was Cranberry Vanilla Wonderland (Cran-Van, for short). And it is truly a wonderland of flavors! The subtle sweetness of the vanilla complements the slight sharpness of the cranberries, all in a warm cup.

Little-known fact: When you visit the Tea Shop at Celestial Seasonings headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, you're able to purchase all of their teas, even holiday teas, year-round. Until further notice and with a commitment to the safety of customers and staff, Celestial Seasonings has closed its tours and Tea Shop due to COVID-19.
