Constant Comment

Black Tea by Bigelow

Created by Ruth Bigelow in her kitchen over 60 years ago “Constant Comment” is today America’s most popular specialty tea. This original blend of the finest mountain-grown tea is deliciously flavored with rind of oranges and sweet spice. There’s no other tea in the world quite like it.

It’s not terrible, but it’s not very good. It’s generic orange-y black tea. Drinkable but that’s about as far as I’d go.

One of the first teas I ever tried thanks to it being one of my mother’s favorites. Still enjoy it from time to time as I like spicy teas. Have yet to try the loose leaf version though.

Gross. I’ve yet to find a Bigelow tea I like.

I typically don’t like bagged tea, but this is great for when I’m at work and don’t have the time to savor a cup of really nice tea.

Not exactly a tea expert, but it tasted like a nice Black Tea with Orange.

An excellent spiced tea. This is one of my fallback commercial teabags and one of the first I tried when branching out from Lipton’s plain jane standard. Used a bit of Wendy’s (see flame on it elsewhere) to sweeten it slightly and poured over ice. Refreshing.

Nice thing about this “commercial” brew….its good even after it has cooled off to room temp (although I’d swear that was “ICED tea” around the office today.

Back from an extended weekend vacation filled with bad coffee and this was the first thing I found. When your tastebuds are asleep, this will do you good.

It was available and most likely to survive in a cup that previously had coffee

It’s my mom’s favorite grocery store-bought tea. Common variety, but still tasty.
