Finding the Perfect Lemon: The Key to Bright and Refreshing Bigelow Teas

When you think of a steaming cup of tea, the vibrant, citrusy notes of lemon often come to mind. Whether you're craving a soothing herbal blend, a zesty green tea, or a bright black tea, lemon elevates every sip with its refreshing flavor and aroma. At Bigelow Tea, the journey to crafting a beautiful cup begins with sourcing the most perfect lemons for twenty-three of our family lemon tea recipes.
The Story Behind Bigelow Tea’s Lemon Teas
Bigelow Tea takes pride in carefully selecting lemons to achieve the ideal balance of tangy brightness and natural sweetness. As a third-generation, family- and woman-owned company, the Bigelow family takes pride in developing and maintaining relationships with farmers who embody similar practices and values. For example, we are proud to partner with a family-owned lemon grower for the last 30 years. Hailing from Central Valley California, the lemons we use meet strict USDA, FDA and California standards. Our grower has perfected its state-of-the-art processes to harvest, juice, and zest the finest lemons since opening their groves in 1947. Their depth of knowledge delivers the highest quality lemons found in your favorite lemon teas.
Lemon in Bigelow Tea’s Signature Blends
Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea Plus Probiotics, is not only delicious but it’s good for you! Every caffeine free cup of this special tea will be your secret healthier-you weapon. The tart flavor of lemon counters the earthy and spicy flavor of ginger for a pleasant aroma and taste. Added probiotics, often referred to as “good bacteria,” help maintain a healthy balance in your digestive system.
One of our most beloved blends is Lemon Lift Black Tea, a black tea infused with just the right amount of lemon peel, to give you that extra “lift”. This robust black tea pairs perfectly with the citrusy undertone, making it a favorite for morning pick-me-ups or mid-afternoon breaks.
For herbal tea lovers, I Love Lemon Plus Vitamin C Herbal Tea is a caffeine-free delight. This blend features a bright medley of lemon peel, lemon verbena and lemongrass, delivering a tart and tangy experience that soothes and refreshes. Plus this tea features 100% of the recommended daily of Vitamin C in just one serving, which is a vital nutrient for healthy skin, bones, and teeth and is part of a proper functioning immune system, according to The Cleveland Clinic. Delicious and good for you? Sounds like the healthy magic of tea!
