One of the cool things about living between Denver and Boulder is that Celestial Seasonings is just a short drive away. They have free tours, and I've written about Celestial Seasoning's free tour before. One of the highlights is the opportunity to go into the peppermint room.
The peppermint scent is so strong, they have to keep the huge door tightly shut or it would invade all the other tea leaves. But during the tour they let whoever wants to, to stand in there while they talk about peppermint tea. Some can't even go in, some only for a minute. Me, I rush in and stay until the last minute, breathing deep of the fragrance.
Anyway, I heard a news report yesterday that people who smelled peppermint every two hours consumed on average 2700 calories less. Well, that could be a totally meaningless study in real life, but it's a really great excuse to drink peppermint tea more often.
So I'm drinking my tea, thinking about Celestial Seasonings and all the fun things there are to do in Boulder and even here in my small town of Arvada.
If you're thinking of moving here, call me - let's have a cup of tea (or maybe drink a Coors beer if that's more your style)
and we'll talk about what a great place this is to live.

I write posts on real estate issues and local events in the Denver metro area, especially those *communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the 'flavor' of our community, in case they're new or moving to the Denver area.
I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly *suburbs northwest of Denver.
