Bigelow Tea Celebrates 65 Years of Entrepreneurial Spirit
Saturday, 3 April 2010 by admin
Fairfield, CT, March 31, 2010 – 2010 marks a very important year for Bigelow Tea (www.bigelowtea.com) – their 65th anniversary.
With the creation of Constant Comment® Tea in 1945, Ruth Campbell Bigelow changed the American tea scene by reinventing the way Americans enjoy this healthy beverage. Ruth’s entrepreneurial spirit launched a family business that is now in its third generation, and which sells over 100 specialty teas.
In this video, Cindi Bigelow, granddaughter of Ruth (and President of Bigelow Tea), celebrates Bigelow’s 65 years in business by visiting Charleston, SC – home of the Bigelow-owned Charleston Tea Plantation – and talking with local business owners to find out what fuels their entrepreneurial spirit. As Ruth herself learned 65 years ago, all successful entrepreneurs share one common trait: “Do what you love.”
