Books and Conversation over Tea, another Bigelow Tea Runner up Constant Comment® Story
Tuesday, 1 September 2009 by Ben
I have been enjoying Constant Comment® tea since 1973 when I was fortunate enough to get my first after school job at our local public library in a small town in New England.

It’s three o’clock on a weekday afternoon. The children are napping. The whistling of the teakettle is my cue to take a deep breath.

Another Great Bigelow Tea Constant Comment Story
Tuesday, 2 June 2009 by admin
Tea reminds me of my mother. One of my earliest memories is of getting off the big yellow school bus and coming home to find my mother in her bedroom, waiting for me to tell her about my day, sitting in her chair and watching soap operas as she had her “afternoon tea.” She would [...]

My Story begins with Bigelow Earl Grey Tea
Friday, 13 March 2009 by admin
Two hours across the western Canadian border in a little mom and pop cafe was the first time I drank hot tea for anything besides an upset stomach or menstrual cramps. I was 20 years old, and the owner of the place refused to serve me Pepsi for breakfast. He muttered something about sacrilege and [...]
