29th January, 2007: How we make tea
With this recent trend in cold temperatures our tea bag machines here at Bigelow have been running to make sure we have enough tea bags available for everyone. Our teas taste great cold or hot but the majority of people tend to drink it to warm themselves up so we are the busiest during the winter time.
We produce our tea bags on machines that run from 100 tea bags per minute all the way up to 300 tea bags per minute. Even at that speed we have to run overtime sometimes to keep up with the demands of our customers, but that’s ok. Our machines get lonely if we do not run them enough. So if you are feeling cold or just want to relax with a hot cup of tea we are here making sure there will be plenty of tea on the shelf when you need it.

I have been a fan of Bigelow Teas, especially “Constant Comment” for many years. I prefer loose tea as I find the flavor is much richer and much more satisfying, although tea bags are convenient when pressed for time. I would like to purchase loose decaffinated tea in the “Constant Comment” flavor. I hope you will consider offering this option in the future. Thank you. Keep producing your wonderful products!!

I love Constant Comment! My grandmother introduced me to it years ago and I’ve been drinking it ever since.
I prefer the loose Constant Comment but when I’m away from home, I always carry it with me. I usually carry quite a lot because when I visit family and friends they usually ask me if I brought any Constant Comment with me!

You droped Don Imus and I droped Biglow.
Good trade?
Censorship is unamerican.

Regarding Imus: He did wrong, but does the punnichment fit the crime? What about the other partys involved? Who all needed a second chance and got it? Why the double standard?
Sip on it - I have!

I was out shopping for tea today and picked up a case of yours, then I remembered how you treated Imus; and I decided never again will I buy your tea. So I agree with the former poster:
Sip on it.
