What You Should Know

Bigelow Orange and Spice Herbal Tea is a box of 20 tea bags that you’ll find on the tea and coffee aisle, shelved alongside other herbal blends, citrus-flavored teas, honey, and lemon concentrates. Its label leans into cozy, homey imagery — “carefully selected ingredients” and “family’s favorite recipe” — and prominently notes “Caffeine Free,” positioning it as an evening or kid-friendly option rather than an energy booster. The blend reads like a pantry garden: rose hips, hibiscus, orange peel, warm spices and a hint of roasted chicory, rounded out by a natural orange flavor and a small soy lecithin component used in the flavoring. Packaging is a familiar cardboard box with individually wrapped paper tea bags inside, ready for single-cup steeping in a mug or teapot. Sensory cues are bright citrus and tart hibiscus on the nose, a warm, spiced finish, and a clear reddish infusion; the mouthfeel is light and brisk, with a gentle tannic edge from the chicory. Typical rituals include mid-morning or late-afternoon steeping, pairing with baked scones at a weekend brunch, or a calm bedtime cup on a chilly night. Brand positioning is mainstream natural/heritage: Bigelow markets reliability, family tradition, and approachable specialty flavors rather than artisanal exclusivity; it appeals to adults seeking familiar, comforting beverages and to shoppers choosing caffeine-free alternatives. Label claims emphasize “natural” ingredients and caffeine-free status but do not indicate organic certification. Processing context: the product is made from dried botanical ingredients with added flavoring agents and packaged in tea bags — minimally transformed botanicals combined with industrial flavor additives and packaging.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although based on dried botanicals, the presence of added 'natural flavors' and an emulsifier (soy lecithin), plus industrial flavor formulation and packaged tea bags, aligns this product with ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4).
