Artificial Flavors And Bigelow Tea

Box of Bigelow Vanilla Chai with cup and ingredients

 

Published March 19, 2026

 

Out of more than 150 Bigelow tea products, currently only five recipes contain artificial flavors. All five are clearly identified on the product label, and we are currently working diligently to find the equivalent natural flavors that we can use which does not compromise the consumer experience.

 

Bigelow uses natural vanilla as well as artificial vanilla together in the four vanilla products listed below in order to create a rich vanilla taste profile.  The same thing applies to the peach blend, we use natural peach as well as artificial peach in order to create a robust peach experience. However, our blending team is working diligently to source a natural vanilla and natural peach that by themselves will continue to provide the consumer with the rich flavorful cup that they have come to know from Bigelow Tea.

The five teas listed below contain natural and artificial flavors as indicated on the front of the box and the box ingredient statement as well as the front and back of each individual packet:
