16th June, 2008: An Extraordinary Bigelow Tea Year!
Well our year is coming to a close….and what a year it has been! Our official year end is June 30 so I might be slightly premature in sending out this entry BUT what a record year. We sold more teabags than ever before. Our older more established teas did well like “Constant Comment”, Earl Grey, Chamomile and Green but our new teas did gang busters as well. We feel so blessed in this company right now-we try and do the right thing every day-work hard, make great tea, be creative and stay focused….all I can say is it is great to see that the consumer noticed. The fact that we recently became the number one Specialty Tea Company in this country is not something we take lightly and it is only because of you all that we did it!! THANK YOU for an extraordinary year.
Cindi Bigelow, President

Dear Cindy, I just finished reading your interview in the Business New Haven, August 4th issue.
I am writing to because I was so impreseed with what you had to say and how you said it!
Also, Earlier this year, I had a chance to visit the tea plantation. It was a wonderful thing to do. Educational, entertaining and beautiful. Your tea is delicious.
I wish you every success and hope the plantation just gets getting bigger and better.
