A New Bigelow Tea-V Video Points Out that All Teas Are Not Created Equally…
Wednesday, 14 January 2009 by Ben
In the video below Cindi Bigelow, President of Bigelow Tea, dissects a few tea bags and shares her findings so we don’t have to.
Video Highlights:
- Bigelow Tea’s original recipe (which is not found among these recipes) has not changed since the company was founded by Ruth Campbell Bigelow in 1945.
- A look inside a bag of our Constant Comment tea reveals pieces of real orange peel added for a more robust flavor.
- Contrasting Bigelow’s Earl Grey and other Black Teas with a competitor’s, Cindi gives insight into what makes Bigelow Tea the best selling flavored tea on the market.
- For sixty-three years, Bigelow Tea has been hand picked from elevated tea gardens in the mountains, where the conditions are most conducive to growing quality tea leaves with concentrated and complex flavor.
- Bigelow Tea does not use filler, or “tea dust,” a compound used for artificial tea bag enhancement by some competitors.
As Cindi Bigelow points out,“a tea bag is not a tea bag is not a tea bag.”

I found Cindi’s video to be extremely informative. The video explains why Bigelow Tea has outstanding quality and taste. That’s why I only drink and serve Bigelow Tea.

That was very interesting! I’ve always wondered what that fine powder was in the boxes of “cheaper” tea. I normally drink loose leaf tea but I think when I do buy tea already in the bag, I’ll be much more careful about what I buy (I think Bigelow would be my first choice after seeing this video).
BTW, Cindi does an awesome job! She is very well spoken. Great job!
