not happy
by Donnis from prosperity on April 18, 2013
I have been drinking Constant Comment hot tea for years. 2 cups a day...the one stitch holding the bag close doesn't work too good. At least 1 bag out of 6 does not stay closed which leaves tea floating in my cup..can you fix this problem please???
Taste
by Robert from Clinton,Ohio on March 5, 2013
What have you done to the flavor of Constant Comment? It has changed. We have been drinking the tea for about 45 yrs. noticed flavor change about 3 or 4 months ago. We drink decaffeinated. The tabs on the bags with the original logo on them have a different flavor (not as good) as the white tabs. Problem is you can't open the package to find out which one you are getting.
the ice tea size packaging
by Bonny from Minnesota on February 17, 2013
Oh no, I hope the original recipe hasn't changed! Related I too make it for large batches in my ice tea maker and wish the larger ice tea packaging would come back. The loose tea is fine but not as convenient. Thanks!
What happened?
by Mary from New York City on February 2, 2013
Just like the commenter below me, I just bought 2 boxes and I'm going to get rid of them due to the overpowering flavor of cinnamon. What happened?? I've loved this tea practically my whole life and drank some every week if not every day.
Constant Comment Tea
by Patricia from Kent on January 24, 2013
I recently purchased 2 boxes of the Constant Comment Tea which I used to love. The flavor has been cut so much that it barely has any flavor at all. Therefore, I will not be purchasing it any more. I just threw out two boxes, what a waste of money.
Constant Comment Decaf
by Debra from Bloomington on January 6, 2013
I you can put so many other teas in tins, why can't you make Constant Comment decaf? I'm tired of cutting up teabags to use in my tea press.
A great loss
by Caroline from Cottonwood AZ on December 15, 2012
What a great loss. I have enjoyed Constant Comment since I was a young adult. I am now in my 60's. I just bought a box of Constant Comment and after trying to get the wonderful flavor I was so used to by brewing it a minute longer, I realized that you have cut the tea with a filler or reduced or change the wonderful spicy ingredients. I will no longer be purchasing your tea and have to resort to Good Earth original brand instead. As another woman commented...Please put it back to the original recipe and let me know when you do.
Thank you
something about it
by Marley from pittsburgh on November 12, 2012
I never really was a tea drinker until my mom introduced me to Bigelow. An extra thank you pack of Constant Comment was in my box of earl grey tea so I made it and wow! is it delicious. My guess is that there is a tiny hint of clove in the "sweet spice" and I think that's what makes it my new favorite because it pairs so well with the oranges
my fav but need decaf loose
by Diane from Beaverton on October 24, 2012
I make my tea in large batches, and drink it literally all day long, hot or cold. being that i drink it all day, i use decaf. I SOOOO wish you had a decaf tin of CC!
At Last!!!
by Trudy from Metamora on October 17, 2012
I make tea by the gallons and have always enjoyed CONSTANT COMMENT since 1968. Opening 8-10 tea bag envelopes is a bother. At last I've found the loose tea variety. Thank you so much, Bigelow for putting this wonderful, comforting tea in loose form.
best tea ever!!!
by RoseMarie from Lebanon PA on September 30, 2012
I have loved this tea since I was a teen and my Mom bought some just for a change. The aroma is so very comforting, I think I may have been using it as aromatherapy before I knew what that was. When I am in a coffee/tea shop where they have loose teas, I am always sniffing them to find one close to Constant Comment and rarely succeed. I am especially pleased when a restaurant serves Bigelow teas. Thanks bigelow for making such a soothing, delicious tea!
What happened?
by Debby from Clearwater Beach on July 16, 2012
Constant Comment has been a staple in my family. When away from home, it's always been comforting. Did you change the ingredients? the formula? I can keep the bag in the cup until the very last drop and still will not get that lovely flavor. It's like drinking brown water.
Please change it back!
Memories
by Dale from Spokane, WA on May 2, 2012
My Mom and Dad kept a can of Constant Comment in the cupboard all through my youth. It was a treat to share a cup of tea. Over the course of growing up and going off to see the world I forgot about this tea, until a few years ago when I saw some in the store. I immediately bought a box, and the memories came back in a rush. I have not been without Constant Comment since. If I could buy it by the bushel, I would. Thank-you Bigelow Tea.
finding an old friend
by Sharon from Superior on March 7, 2012
The first wedding gift I received in 1957 was an oval tin of Constant Comment loose tea and a Bodem. for many years I bought the loose tea than the stores I shopped at only carried the tea bags , which is ok but nothing like the loose tea. I finally decided to look up your web site and found an old friend, Thank you for many wonderful cups of tea through out my 55 years of marriage

I have enjoyed this tea for more than 20 years! Love the taste!

by Ron from Osteen on November 26, 2011
I recently returned to drinking tea because of digestive issues with coffee. After trying a couple herbal teas, I asked my wife to pick up some Constant Comment, which I first had about 20 years ago. It is as good today as it was then. As others say, it's the perfect blend of spices.
Memories of Aunt Tootie!
by Nona from Dexter on October 28, 2011
I spent every summer with my Aunt Tootie, and she introduced me to the fine art of having tea. Constant Comment was her mainstay, and to this day, it is mine. Now I'm introducing my granddaughter to it...thanks, Aunt Tootie, for so many wonderful memories!
One of Life's Necessities
by Jennifer from Macomb, IL on October 3, 2011
This is my favorite tea and has been ever since I had my first cup over 30 years ago. I drink many different kinds of tea, but this is the one I always turn to when I need a little comfort in a tea cup.
Real Goodness is One of life's Constants
by Greg from Carnegie, Pa on June 5, 2011
I was introduced to Constant Comment in 1972 by a neighbor in the apartment accross from mine in Falls Church Virginia. Most of us in that apartment complex were either in the military or worked for the government. I was a Navy computer programmer, sick with the flu, and my neighbor was the wife of a corpsman at Bethesda Hospital. She brought chicken noodle soup and jello and grilled cheese sandwhiches until I was over the flu and always topped it off with a pot of hot tea. It was absolutely the best tea I had ever tasted; unique and very satisfying and uplifting. I looked forward to it each day and told her every day how good I thought it was. When I was better, I wanted to buy some to keep on hand and continue to enjoy. When I asked her the tea's brand name, she laughed and said "Constant Comment", just like you have done each day. Well named and well blended; please don't ever change it. Thanks.
the BEST tea!
by verl from meade on February 2, 2011
CONSTANT COMMENT IS THE BEST! have been buying the loose tea for nearly forty years now...still not 'tired' of it!
loose tea
by linda from mchenry on December 28, 2010
I drink tea all day, usually iced. I order from a few other companies but Constant Comment will always be my favorite. I am so glad to find it loose because that really is the best way to prepare any tea. I do wish you carried it in a larger amount. love it!
Grandmother's favorite
by Margaret from Kaneohe on August 21, 2010
My grandmother introduced to to Constant Comment - now I'm a great-grandmother, so this is a serious family favorite. Just wish shipping were available USPS - only the shipping cost slows me down, and the loose tea is not available within 3000 miles of my home (Hawaii.)
The best tea around!
by Ann from Elm Grove on August 4, 2010
Constant Comment is my constant companion - I drink a pot of it every morning, and have for 15 years. As tea has become increasingly "fashionable" those who know I love tea bring me various new flavors to try, but none can compare with Constant Comment. When I offer some to others, they are always impressed with what a great flavor it has. I brew a pot with a cinnamon stick in it (good daily supplement for my health), and then drink it with sweetener and milk. Delish!
The Best!
on April 7, 2010
I've been drinking Constant Comment for nearly sixty years, and it's still the best. My only disappointment is that the loose tea isn't available in larger, restaurant-sized quantities like it used to be. My great-grandmother used to prepare it for the concessions at San Diego's Old Globe Theater. Keep up the great work!
A Classic
on January 9, 2010
If I could, I would rate it a TEN! I have been drinking Constant Comment for almost forty years. I have tried many teas, yours and other brands and have a few others that I regularly buy along with trying new blends and flavors, but, nothing can compare with my Number One all time favorite Constant Comment. I like it hot or cold; with sugar, with honey, or with no sweetener at all. Please don't ever stop producing it.
Constant comment
on January 9, 2010
My dad could not drink coffee, so he always drank tea...constant comment was all we had in the house, so I have been drinking it since the '60's. It was sooo hard to find then, I drink it "black" and love it love it love it!!! sometimes I even make iced tea with it, and will soon be ordering the loose version for my electic tea maker.
Love this tea!!
on December 2, 2009
Put a small bit of sugar in the tea and relax, just the right amount of orange rind and spice!!
