I got a few samples from BIGELOW tea the other day and I wanted to talk
about the ones that I have been able to try. First this is a family run company
from Fairfield CT. They sent me so much information about the benefits of tea
and all about their company. They talk about their 300 employees, so it is a
pretty small company. Small companies seem to always put such care into their products;
I personally like to get things from smaller companies or mom and pop brand
just for that reason. Since starting this blog I like to also go to the
company’s web page to find out what I can about them and their products, so
here is their site if you would like to check them out.
http://www.bigelowtea.com/. It is a great site with recipes, information about
the tea and tells you about some of the projects they do with the community.
Now to the tea, the first one I tried was their Earl Grey. When I opened
it, it had such a nice spiced type smell. I heated my water poured it over the
bag and steeped for two minutes. It released much more of the smell, filled the
whole dining room. After adding my sugar and relaxing, I got my first sip. It
was so good. Nice and smooth with that nice spiced flavor. It was my first time having Earl Grey tea and
I really enjoyed it. It is a tea that I could pick up and drink again and
again. I am wondering how it would be made into ice tea, I will have to try
that next and fill you all in.
The next one I tried was their Vanilla Chai tea. I LOVED it. I love chai
tea and I usually get it from coffee shops because I did not think I could get
a good one at home. Boy, was I wrong. Drinking it was just like getting one
from the coffee house but WAY cheaper. I loved the smell of the vanilla and all
the spices. It made my house smell so good, I wish I could make it last. I
heated the water then poured it over; I found steeping it for 3 minutes worked
great. All I had to do was add a little sugar and I was all set. I went out the
next day and got a box of these, and have had one every morning with breakfast.
I am in love with it.
I have a few more of the samples to get
through and I will try to have them all done by the end of the week so I can
tell you about how they are. If they are as good as these two, they will all be
great. I am really really happy I found this tea. I got my box at Target just
because that was where I was headed and it cost me 2.34, so not a bad price
either. I hope everyone gives them a try. If you do or if you have drank them
before let me know. I would love to know what other people think about the
product too.
