Synopsis
One day in 1945, Ruth Bigelow shared her private recipe tea with a friend. The friend in turn served it to a group of women who had nothing but constant comments about the delicious hot drink, and an American tea icon was born.
Today, Bigelow Tea has expanded its product line far beyond its flagship Constant Comment Tea to include black teas, traditional teas, flavored teas, herbal teas, decaffeinated teas and organic teas. A selection of Bigelow Teas can be found virtually anywhere that tea is sold.
Bigelow Tea owns the only tea Plantation in North America. The Charleston Tea Plantation on Wadmalaw Island in South Carolina is now open to the public for all to see and hear how tea is made. The 127 acre tea farm is the home of American Classic Tea.
The Bigelow Tea Company is still owned and managed by the Bigelow Family who approach the manufacture of Bigelow Teas with the same passion and enthusiasm Ruth Campbell Bigelow possessed when she founded the company more than 60 years ago.
If you're a tea-lover, you'll find this illustrated account of Ruth Bigelow's life and legacy fascinating.

About the Author
David C. Bigelow, the son of Ruth and David Bigelow, brings readers a unique prospective of the Bigelow Tea Company. While working closely with his parents through the company s early years, attending Yale University, then leading the company for forty years, David acquired an understanding of the American tea industry and the contemporary tea drinker that is second to no one.
Following in the path started by his parents, David and his wife Eunice, along with daughters Lori and Cindi, make up America s First Family of Tea.
