Bigelow is the type of company that deserves more media coverage. They provide a quality product in competition with some of the large consumer goods players and still manage to compete on price, taste and more importantly corporate responsibility. Solar power, paperless offices, reduced transportation emission and recycled packaging are a few of the ways they try to make the world a better place all the while producing great tasting products.

Their all natural organic Ceylon black tea is USDA (www.usda.gov) organic certified and also Fair Trade certified. There is no excuse for buying nnon Fair Trade teas and coffees these days. There are plenty to chosen from and they are not all premium priced. Each bag is individually to maintain freshness.

Bigelow Organic Green Tea

Bigelow Tea produces some of the finest teas in the world. They manage to do this whilst keeping and eye on how they do it and not just the end product. As their website says, “it’s just the right thing to do.” Some of the things they do from a corporate prespective include 85% biodegradable or recyclable packaging (including teabags), solar panel installation at their headquarters, almost paperless office and consolidating shipping loads to reduce the number of miles travelled for deliveries.

All the above is great, however, the products also need to taste good. There is something about the green tea you get in a Japanese restaurant because it always taste better than the off the shelf versions. It’s pleasing to finaly locate a product that almost tastes the same. The Bigelow Organic Green Tea is the product.
