Our Tea Leaf Standards
We have long-standing relationships with our tea partners who understand we do not compromise on quality.
• Bigelow Tea specifications clearly state we do not accept tea dust
• While tea dust is a commercially available leaf size that other tea companies may use, Bigelow Tea will not use this tea cut size
• We use the largest tea leaf grade available for each tea bag format to ensure optimal flavor
