My Celestial Seasonings favorites:

Emperor's Choice (discontinued)
Wild Forest Blackberry (discontinued in favor of Wild Forest
Blackcherry? blagh!)

I keep looking to see if they bring them back, I even wrote
them a letter stating that I have not seen my favs and such
were what made me a tea drinker. Such were discontinued, so
now where is my incentive to buy Celestial Seasonings? I
honestly think those people in the test kitchens need to be
dropped in a well and forgotten. Maybe I could start a
boycott like was done to Nabisco when they dropped the Pilot
cracker, a major complaint was levied against them:
