Bigelow Tea

Overview

Bigelow Tea is a family-owned specialty tea company based in Connecticut, founded in 1945 by Ruth Campbell Bigelow. She created "Constant Comment," the first specialty tea in the USA, which features a unique blend of black tea with orange rind and sweet spices. This signature tea has remained unchanged since its inception, preserving the original secret recipe that has become a staple in American tea culture.

The company offers a wide variety of specialty teas, including seasonal favorites like Ginger Snappish® and Vanilla Chai, many of which were developed by third-generation family member Lori Bigelow. It has played a significant role in popularizing specialty teas in the U.S. through innovative distribution strategies and product development, such as the introduction of foil pouch packaging for freshness. Additionally, Bigelow Tea is committed to sustainability and tea heritage, exemplified by its investment in the Charleston Tea Garden, the largest commercial tea farm in America, which serves as an educational center for visitors.
