Manitou Springs and Celestial Seasonings Tea, trip to Colorado, Aug 2024

 

Manitou Springs is just a bit west of Colorado Springs, a little more up the mountains and the starting point to visit Pike's Peak.  Super cute tourist town!  We stayed at The Cliff House before going up the railway. Really lovely and historic.

They showcase their famed mineral springs and public art



Local history designed into a bench


These are from a park across the street from one of the springs.




Quite a variety of art 

I really like this one!

Mosaic surrounding a kids playground, it is like those hidden pictures with lots to look at.




Pike's Peak is a whole post to itself, but we did also visit Celestial Seasonings Tea and take the factory tour.  So good I would go back on a weekday when the production lines are running.

The original art that goes onto the boxes is in the welcome room.

Sleepytime is their best seller!  The tour was fascinating-peppermint is such a strong flavor it gets it's own room so the flavor doesn't seep into the other ingredients.

Art/tea pot for a specific flavor.  The company started in Boulder and hasn't moved, just expanded.
