The Bigelow Story

“Constant Comment” - the Original Tea that Changed the Game

Over 75 years ago, Ruth Campbell Bigelow created America’s first specialty tea and changed the way America enjoys tea. An avid tea connoisseur, Ruth believed tea drinkers like herself would enjoy a more zestfully flavored tea.

After much trial and error in the family kitchen blending black tea with orange rind and sweet spices, she emerged with the first cup of specialty tea. After sharing this delightfully flavored cup of tea with family and friends, one of them reported back that her new tea caused nothing but constant comments. Everyone was talking about it and so her tea earned its name, and the Bigelow Tea Company was born.

“Constant Comment” is truly a unique blend that remains unchanged to this day. In fact, this secret family recipe is still only blended by the Bigelow family.


Millions have tried it and loved it. Discover why “Constant Comment” is still deliciously different.
