The story of Granny B
At Iron Leaf Tea Co., we believe that every great cup of tea tells a story. Granny B’s Southern Sweet Iced Tea is our way of sharing a cherished family legacy with the world—one that’s as rich in flavor as it is in Southern tradition.
A southern tradition
Our story begins on a sun-dappled porch in the heart of Tennessee, where afternoons stretched long and sweet, and the sound of laughter mingled with the clinking of ice in tall glasses. Granny B, the matriarch of our founder’s family, was the heart and soul of these gatherings. She had a knack for bringing people together, and her sweet iced tea was always at the center of it all.
The secret ingredient
Granny B’s recipe was simple, but her secret ingredient was love. She believed that tea should be more than just a drink—it should be a comfort, a memory, and a welcome home. “We like a little tea with our sugar,” she’d say with a wink, pouring another glass for a neighbor or a friend who’d dropped by unannounced. Her tea was a symbol of Southern hospitality: generous, warm, and just a little bit indulgent.
A tribute to her spirit
Today, we honor Granny B’s legacy by brewing our Southern Sweet Iced Tea the way she would have wanted—using only the finest tea leaves, plenty of pure cane sugar, and a careful steeping process that brings out the smooth, bold flavors she was known for. Each batch is a tribute to her spirit: inviting, comforting, and always ready to turn a stranger into a friend.
