My Mother Loved Tea: The Story of Ruth Bigelow

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.

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.
