Blending herbs, art and inspiration. Since 1969. Blendmaster's notes. Bengal Spice: Brimming with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves, this adventurous blend is our caffeine-free interpretation of chai, the piquant Indian brew traditionally made with black tea. Try it with milk and sugar for a true chai experience. Charlie Baden, Celestial Seasonings Blendmaster. The Story of Celestial Seasonings: Back in 1969, we started picking herbs from the fields and forests of the Rocky Mountains and in the process, we created America's very first herbal tea. Still blended in Boulder by our expert Blendmaster, our uniquely delicious teas are made with the finest ingredients, passion and inspiration. Variety's the very spice of life that gives it all its flavor. - William Cowper.
