I've been a long-time Bigelow tea drinker, and also a long-time online orderer since every single grocery store has eventually dropped carrying my favorite Bigelow tea (Cinnamon Stick), which was very frustrating. I'm really not happy paying $6.50 to have my tea shipped, having to wait for it to arrive and then finding it on my doorstep having sat out in the sun--or rain--all day. Can you either advise where I can get coupons to at least save on the shipping or advise if there are any stores in my area (zip: 95062) that are carrying this product? Thank you. Hi Bigelow,

I hadn't heard about the issue before I looked at this blog. But I love your tea, and I think you have done a wonderful job at expressing your feelings. You put yourself on the line to share your standards. I respect that. Thank you for taking the time to reapond personally. I hadn’t heard about the issue before I looked at this blog.

Imus' comments were unfortunate but not terrible. It's comedy. On the other hand, Reverend Jeremia Wrights hate speech was not comedy. Where's uncle Jesse and the so-called Reverend Al calling for this clown's ouster? I guess the uber-racists Jackson and Sharpton only care about black interests. Typical black behavior.

I have not read all of the preceding comments but enough to see that "divided" is the correct term for the general flavor. As a young person, I was so pleased to discover Bigelow Constant Comment loose tea in a unique store in old Lansing, MI. As a not-so-young Bigelow, I still love CC tea and always say "Yes!" when someone asks me if I'm related to "the Bigelow tea people." (Of course I am; we're all descendants of Noah, right? And John Biglo/Marry Warren ARE my ancestors) I do not care in the least whether or not you keep or drop Imus support. "We" do great tea. Best wishes. Wow. Wow.

I was shocked when Don Imus singled you out for your advertising support. I did not care for his show, and I detest his cynical attitude about the language he uses. He talked for money. Advertisers like you supplied this money. This consumer does not want to support him in any way, so I am making other choices in the supermarket. I do, however, appreciate your comments and the forum you provided here. You may be learning a hard lesson about your responsibilities as an advertiser. Perhaps in the future I may reconsider my Bigelow boycott.

I was very impressed with your family and your generosity. I do not condone Imus's remarks and I certainly don't condone the "rap music" lyrics. I am a senior and I have survived many hurtful remarks. But how many "mea culpa" must Imus recite. Where is forgiveness--especially now at Easter time. I'll think twice about buying Bigelow tea unless I hear forgiveness. Beatrice K. Sager I began to use Bigelow Tea after I heard your story on Imus.

The fact that American Express, Sprint/Nextel,Staples, Proctor & Gamble, etc. pulled out of Imus' show makes me sick. It's all about money and nothing else. Lets face it- This whole story is blown way out of proportion by Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton (people who certainly shouldn't be throwing stones)- This is Imus' style. I'm sure he meant no more by this than when he calls someone fat, or some "booger eating Jew"- He's done this for forty years ! If people didn't like it, why have we all been listening & enjoying him for so long? Every single time I buy tea (and I drink plenty of it) I'll be sure and buy Bigelow.
