A Story of Flavor and Inspiration
Since 1969, Celestial Seasonings has been committed to creating the most flavorful and inspiring cup of tea. We source the highest quality herbs, teas and botanicals, like our cool whistling peppermint cultivated in the Pacific Northwest and our golden, floral chamomile grown in the fields of Egypt. Charlie Baden, our blendmaster for more than 40 years, handcrafts and approves every batch of tea to ensure each blend is consistent. We invite you to experience a cupful of flavor with Celestial Seasonings.
Seed
We select only the highest quality herbs, teas and botanicals and we purchase most of our ingredients directly from the farming communities that grow them.
Milling & Blending
While our ingredients come from all over the world, we mill and blend all of our herbs and botanicals here in Boulder, Colorado so we can ensure freshness and high quality.
Sustainable Tea Bags
We use pillow tea bags without strings, tags or staples, keeping 3.5 million pounds of material out of landfills every year.
Sip
Every cup of tea is a promise of our commitment to creating delicious and inspired blends. From truly flavorful herbal teas to comforting wellness teas, we have a tea for you to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a good birthday gift for my mom who loves tea?
Yes. It is an affordable, thoughtful, and easy-to-ship gift that pairs well with a mug, honey, or a small self-care bundle. Many buyers choose it specifically as a low-pressure birthday present for tea-loving moms.
Would this work as a housewarming gift?
Absolutely. A box of herbal tea is universally useful, easy to wrap, and signals a warm welcome to a new home. It pairs nicely with a kitchen towel, candle, or a handwritten note.
Is peppermint tea a good Valentine's Day gift for her?
Yes, especially as part of a self-care or relaxation-themed basket. Peppermint is caffeine free, which makes it feel like a thoughtful wellness choice rather than a generic chocolate gift.
Can I fit this in a holiday stocking?
The slim 20-count box slips easily into most standard stockings and gift bags. It is a popular last-minute, budget-friendly stocking stuffer for tea drinkers on your list.
Is there any presentation I should add before gifting?
A simple ribbon, a kraft paper wrap, or pairing it with a nice mug and a tea towel instantly elevates the presentation. Many gift-givers tuck it into a basket with other small wellness items.
I'm looking for a thoughtful gift, does tea really feel personal?
Yes, especially when the recipient enjoys quiet rituals. A peppermint herbal tea is a small luxury that says you noticed their habits, and it is a safe pick for coworkers, in-laws, and hosts who are hard to shop for.
Is this an appropriate thank-you or hostess gift?
It is one of the most popular hostess and thank-you gifts in the tea category, because it is light, easy to carry, and universally liked. Bring it to a dinner party, a holiday visit, or a new neighbor's door.
How does this compare to giving a specialty tea gift set?
Specialty sets look more elaborate, but they often cost three to four times as much. Celestial Seasonings delivers trusted quality at a price that lets you give generously, even to several people on your list.
Is Celestial Seasonings Peppermint Herbal Tea a recognizable brand to gift?
Yes. Celestial Seasonings is one of the most established herbal tea brands in the United States, and most recipients will recognize the box, which adds a sense of trust to your gift.
Is peppermint safe to gift if I don't know the recipient's taste?
Peppermint is one of the most universally liked herbal flavors, making it a safe default. If you are unsure, it is a smart choice over bolder blends like licorice root or strongly floral options.
What if the person I'm gifting to doesn't actually drink tea?
If they are not tea drinkers at all, an herbal tea may sit unused. In that case, a more visual gift like a candle or a treat may be a better fit.
Is 20 teabags enough to feel like a real gift?
It depends on the presentation. On its own, 20 bags feels modest, but paired with a mug, a honey jar, or a small self-care bundle, it becomes a complete and meaningful gift at a very accessible price.
Could this gift feel cheap or impersonal?
It can if handed over as-is. Add a handwritten note, a nice mug, or wrap it in kraft paper with twine, and it feels intentional, warm, and personal without overspending.
Is the box festive enough to give during the December holidays?
The standard Celestial Seasonings box is not holiday-themed, but it is easy to dress up with ribbon, a gift tag, or a small ornament. For a fully festive look, many gift-givers place it inside a larger holiday basket.
Can I order this last minute and still receive it in time?
Many online retailers offer fast shipping on Celestial Seasonings products, and the box is small and lightweight, which makes expedited shipping affordable. It is a strong last-minute gift option when you are short on time.
What if the recipient prefers green or black tea over herbal?
This is a peppermint herbal tea, not a true green or black tea. For a true tea drinker who prefers caffeinated options, consider pairing it with a caffeinated tea so the gift covers both preferences.
How do I brew the best cup of Celestial Seasonings Peppermint Herbal Tea?
Bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil, then pour it over one teabag in your mug. Steep for 4 to 6 minutes, which brings out the full peppermint flavor without bitterness. Remove the stringless teabag with a spoon and enjoy plain or with a touch of honey.
How long should I steep peppermint tea for the strongest flavor?
Most people find 5 minutes to be the sweet spot. Shorter steeps produce a lighter, more delicate cup, while longer steeps intensify the minty character. Peppermint does not get bitter the way black tea can, so you can safely steep it longer to taste.
Can I reuse a peppermint teabag for a second cup?
You can get a second, lighter-flavored cup from the same bag, but the first steep will always be the most flavorful. For best results, use one bag per cup, especially if you plan to serve guests or rely on consistent flavor.
Does this tea work with a teapot, infuser, or single-serve machine?
Yes. The teabags fit comfortably in most standard mugs, teapots, and larger infusers. They are not designed for single-serve pod machines, but you can place a bag directly in a larger travel tumbler or a French press for steeping.
Is this tea safe for people with common dietary restrictions?
Yes. Celestial Seasonings Peppermint Herbal Tea is Kosher certified, gluten free, and contains no artificial additives. It is also naturally caffeine free, which makes it suitable for people avoiding stimulants. If you have specific medical concerns, always consult your doctor.
What is in the box when it arrives?
Each box contains 20 individually portioned, stringless peppermint teabags. There is no additional equipment required, just hot water and a mug. Any optional accessories like a kettle, infuser, or honey are sold separately.
Are the teabags and box recyclable?
The paperboard box is made from recycled materials and is recyclable in most curbside paper programs. The teabags are typically compostable and often recyclable with paper, though you should confirm your local guidelines for used teabags.
How does this product compare to drinking peppermint tea at a coffee shop?
A shop peppermint tea is usually more expensive, served in a single cup, and offers no real quality advantage over a well-brewed bag at home. Celestial Seasonings Peppermint gives you a consistent, single-ingredient cup for a fraction of the price, anytime you want it.
