Products
Celestial Seasonings is known to have more flavors of tea than most other tea companies, with new flavors being launched nearly every month. Some flavors do not sell well, and many flavors are discontinued at some point or are replaced with a new tea marketed for a higher success. For example, Melatonin PM was replaced with the incredibly popular Sleepytime which is one of their highest selling teas. Each box of tea is illustrated with often whimsical paintings or drawings - a different image for each flavor, intended to represent the feeling the tea produces to the consumer. The boxes also feature inspirational quotations from famous authors. In the past Celestial Seasonings has also offered decorative tins advertising their teas.
