  • Bigelow Tea employee volunteers had a blast participating in our annual Read Aloud program at a local elementary school. We visited 21 classrooms, shared the joy of reading, and donated books to the school library. The students were full of curiosity, asking endless questions about life at Bigelow! As a proud Certified B Corp, we believe in using business as a force for good. From crafting quality tea to giving back to our community. #certifiedb #bigelowtea

  • As part of a recent Quinnipiac Fireside Chat series, third generation president and CEO, Cindi Bigelow, was introduced as a visionary leader who has "exemplified the principle of strategic leadership, adaptability and innovation." The conversation included tea, culture and success in putting ‘others before self.’ Cindi also shared, “When my grandmother got into the business 80 years ago, I don’t know if she knew what she was doing per se,” said Bigelow. “I know she didn't think we had good tea in the United States, but I don't know if she ever knew the emotional connection the product would provide to the consumer. I think there is something pretty special about being in the tea business.” Read more here: https://bit.ly/3CBLKdm
