Pros and cons
Pros
- The formats in tea bags, pods and loose leaf cover bag drinkers, pod machine owners and loose-leaf brewers under one brand, so a mixed household can stay on one name.
- The product types in loose leaf tea, matcha and pods add loose-leaf tea and matcha to the pod option, which is a wider shelf than a pod-only coffee club offers.
- A listed unit price of $5.19 places Bigelow Tea at 15 of 43 brands ranked, a mid-field position rather than a premium.
- The B Corp listing in b corp sits with 24% of brands in the tea ranking, a credential a minority of the field carries.
- Support runs on phone, help centre and email, so phone, help centre and email all reach the same company rather than a single inbox.
Cons
- Shipping is limited to US, CA and MX, so buyers in other countries face a different buying arrangement rather than the standard route.
- The product types in loose leaf tea, matcha and pods carry no coffee option, unlike Atlas Coffee Club, whose list in coffee subscription, coffee roaster and pods pairs a coffee subscription with a tea subscription.
- Only B Corp appears in b corp, with no organic or fair trade listing for buyers who shop by credential.
- The unit price of $5.19 sits behind 15 ranked brands rather than at the top of 43.
Ready to try Bigelow Tea?
Scored 9.2 / 10 by TreatCue.
Who it suits
- Drinkers who want tea bags, pods and loose leaf from the same brand, since tea bags, pods and loose leaf covers each format.
- People in the United States, CA and MX who prefer a straightforward single-purchase tea order to a recurring club delivery.
- Buyers who weight a B Corp listing in b corp above single-origin credentials.
Who should look elsewhere
- OutIn, because pods lists pods only, which suits anyone settled on pod coffee.
- Nespresso, because coffee subscription and pods pairs a coffee subscription with pods for households built around a capsule machine.
- Atlas Coffee Club, because coffee subscription, coffee roaster and pods puts a coffee subscription, a coffee roaster, pods, a tea subscription and loose-leaf tea in one range.
The company behind it
Bigelow Tea trades as Bigelow Tea and is headquartered in the United States. It was founded in 1945, which places it among the longer-established names on these shelves. Customer contact runs through phone, help centre and email, so a question can go by phone, through the help centre or by email, and none of those routes needs a chat window open. For a brand of that age, having a written help centre alongside a phone line means the two most common ways to reach a company are both covered.
