Bigelow, it was based on a recipe marketed as “Constant Comment” tea which is still one of Bigelow Inc.’s most popular products. It is a black tea with orange rind and sweet spice flavorings. In 1945, New York Times food writer, Jane Holt, wrote, “Ruth Campbell Bigelow and Bertha West Nealey {are} both interior decorators whose enthusiasm for tea has led them to blend their own…an unusual and delicious brew called Constant Comment, which has just been introduced in city store… Unlike ordinary sorts, it is so concentrated that a little goes a long way.”
