It is hard to believe that up until Sunday, March 8th, no woman had ever won the Academy Award for best director. Well, folks, veteran Director Kathryn Bigelow changed all that, with her film, The Hurt Locker.
The harrowing 2009 film, chronicling the workings of a team of Bomb Disposal Specialists stationed in Iraq, had a [...]

Bill Hader has been making us laugh on Saturday Night Live since 2005 when he first appeared as a “featured player”.  Since then, he has become one of the most popular stars on the show,  known for his many celebrated recurring characters.  He’s also one of our favorite tea drinkers here at Bigelow Tea!

In January, we celebrated Lewis Carroll’s birthday, and all that Alice in Wonderland talk got us thinking about the latest and perhaps the maddest tea party yet, from the mind of Tim Burton.

On behalf of my family and all of the employees at Bigelow Tea, I’d like to express our warmest congratulations to Wayne Gretzky on the honor of lighting the 2010 Winter Olympic Flame in Vancouver, B.C.
We are proud of Wayne as a representative of the Bigelow brand and his lifelong accomplishments in hockey. [...]

We are so excited at Bigelow Tea about the 2010 Winter Olympics! While we don’t like playing favorites, once we found out that speed skater Catherine Raney-Norman and downhill skier Julia Mancuso are devoted tea-drinkers, we knew we would be keeping a closer eye on them.
Raney-Norman is already a three-time Olympian who debuted in 1998 [...]

Never mind the chips, salsa and beer. The refreshment of choice during Super Bowl XLIV should have been Bigelow Tea—at least during halftime!  That’s when The Who, one of the greatest rock groups ever, performed their dynamic live set in Miami, as part of the most-watched television program in history!
