About Iced Tea
Popularized at the 1904 St. Louis Worlds Fair when hot tea failed to sell in summer heat. About 75-85% of all tea consumed in America is iced. Sweet tea is a cultural institution in the American South. In the South, ordering tea always means sweet tea. Over 1.8 billion gallons of iced tea consumed annually in the US.
