summertime & sun tea



My memories of this refreshing drink go back as far as I can remember. On long days of work down on the farm mid afternoon breaks were welcomed with everyone gathering under the coolness of the big Mimosa tree. During the lazy, hazy and hot summer try quenching your thirst with a tall cool glass of sun tea!

By using the sun to brew the tea you save on the cost of energy.

You use less tea bags too, with savings when buying groceries.
