Your Secret Weapon for Unforgettable Gatherings: Bigelow Tea Party Tips That Delight Your Guests
Every good party needs fun drinks, and that's where Bigelow Tea comes in. From mocktail and cocktail recipes using a variety of premium teas to fresh iced tea made at home and BOTANICALS Cold Water Infusions, Bigelow Tea can be your secret weapon to party-hosting success.
Why Tea is the New Party Trend
"The tea industry is experiencing such positive growth right now. Consumers are embracing both their traditional favorites, black, green, and herbal teas, while exploring trending blends like Butterfly Pea Flower blue teas and bold, spiced chai. What's really exciting is how tea has become the secret weapon for entertaining. Instead of the usual wine and cocktail parties, hosts are discovering that a well-curated tea service completely transforms the energy of a gathering. Tea, which at Bigelow Tea we call 2.3 billion cups of joy, breaks down barriers in ways other beverages simply don't. It's interactive, memorable, and gives people something genuinely interesting to talk about."
