Even though USA is a coffee drinking nation, there were legends like Late Steven Smith, the founder of Tazo tea company, co-founder of Stash Tea Company and Late David Walker, the founder of Walker Tea LLC who foresaw the trend for specialty tea in the US. Bigelow Tea is also a company which has been serving good teas to USA tea lovers for almost 75 years. As Tea & Coffee Trade Journal had reported, Cindi Bigelow, president of Bigelow Tea, was honoured with the National Workplace Lifetime Achievement Award from Character.org for inspiring people to develop good character and for her company’s sustainability efforts, which assist protect the environment.

Character.org said: “This award serves to recognise role models and mentors like you who inspire us to dream – to reach for joy, laughter, compassion, hope, integrity, and all the character traits that you and your family have displayed through your tireless efforts to not only create a sustainable quality product but also creating a lasting impact by limiting harm on the environment through your company’s initiatives.”

Cindi shared examples of how her father taught her the meaning of character and said: “My father believed nothing was too small in terms of acts of kindness or in making sure you were always trying to do the right thing”. She added further saying “That is how I have tried to run my life and run the business. I have realized more and more as the years have gone by that we are all role models — no, we are not perfect, and we make mistakes — but we are role models to everyone around us.”

She has got a BSc degree from Boston College and an MBA from Northwestern University, Kellogg School of Management. She has received honorary doctorates from Johnson & Wales University, the University of New Haven and Fairfield University. She often speaks to students and industry leaders on business ethics and career development.

Character.org is a national advocacy group which promotes character education and strives to influence people in other areas, including the workplace, the family and sports.
