Sweet Leaf Tea
Sweet Leaf Tea is a company based in Texas that was started in 1998 with the mission to create a tea with all organic ingredients.
The inspiration was based on the sweet taste of paradise the founders experienced on a fateful road trip one summer—a trip to the South that planted the seeds of their future brand.
Sweet Leaf Iced Tea has come a long way from its humble beginnings of being brewed using pillow cases as giant tea bags and being bottled by hand by the founders. These days you can grab a can or bottle of Sweet Leaf Iced Tea from your local convenience or grocery store anywhere around the country.
Available in quite a few varieties, Sweet Leaf Iced Tea can be found with a hint of peach, raspberry, lemon & lime, and even half and half featuring lemonade as the companion to the company’s original Sweet Leaf Iced Tea flavor. For those seeking a taste of Sweet Leaf Iced Tea but trying to avoid the calories, you can pick up your favorite Sweet Leaf Iced Tea in a Diet variety, sweetened with sucralose instead of cane sugar.
Sweet Leaf Iced Tea is head and shoulders above many of the more widely available prepared teas such as Lipton and Arizona. I, along with many other hard-core tea drinkers, know that most bottled or canned teas have a strange aftertaste and just seem to taste “off”. I personally credit my Southern roots for my taste in iced tea.
I am a connoisseur of sorts, and I give my strong approval for Sweet Leaf Iced Tea as far as commercially prepared teas go. Everyone’s tastes are different, and there is nothing wrong with liking one particular brand or flavor over another.
Regardless of how good a tea may be to one person, there are certainly some people who simply prefer their iced tea to come from a pitcher in their refrigerator and won’t touch something off the shelf.
If you are in the market for something tasty to carry along to your next picnic lunch on the grass or to bring along with you on your next road trip, consider Sweet Leaf Iced Tea for their superior taste and convenience.
