This brand known for its bold flavors and herbal blends was acquired by a major coffee company in 1999. Look for a short, punchy name often spotted in cafés.

Explanation:

"Big name in tea" points to TAZO, a well-known tea brand owned by Unilever. The clue plays on the word "big" to hint at a major or recognizable brand, not literal size. TAZO is often sold in grocery stores and cafes, making it a familiar name for tea drinkers. The answer fits because it’s both a brand and a short, punchy word that works in crosswords.
