As we marked in June the one-year anniversary of Mr. Bigelow's passing, we honored his memory by renaming the Bigelow Tea Brownstone at our Fairfield, CT office to The David C. Bigelow Brownstone. This space is a tribute and recreation of the original New York City Brownstone where the Bigelow family founded Bigelow Tea in 1945. The room now serves as a warm, inviting place for our employees to gather for meetings, enjoy their lunch, or simply reflect on the legacy and cherished memories of Mr. Bigelow. Pictured is Cindi Bigelow, president and CEO, with her mother Mrs. Eunice Bigelow.

The Bigelow Tea team had an opportunity recently to support Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County in our hometown of Fairfield, CT. Their mission of building affordable homes in our community is something we can get behind and literally build up. Thank you for the invitation... we had so much fun!
Tea-m work makes the dream work! 🍵 We made some great progress on our build site in Fairfield thanks to an incredible team of volunteers from Bigelow Tea! Together, we steeped into action, adding exterior insulation and finishing the top plating for the roof trusses. A huge cup of gratitude to all the Bigelow Tea employees who brewed up support for our mission of building affordable homes! 🏚 #HabitatCFC #Fairfield #SteepedInKindness #ActsForHumanity

June is the one-year mark of the passing of my father. I was blessed to celebrate Father's day with him for 63 years. I know this one will be exceptionally difficult, but I will continue to celebrate all that he taught me over our years together. The life lessons, the coaching and mentoring, and the unconditional love he provided me through the years, I will forever cherish. It is hard to thank him for all he did for me and so many others. Thanks Dad for being the best role model and for teaching me the importance of kindness and humility. I will work hard every day to live those lessons. Wishing joy to every father, father figure and the families who celebrate them. -Cindi Bigelow
