BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Honest Tea moves into Sweet Leaf’s home territory. Granny is pissed.
A reader sent this screencap in (via CraigsList). Looks like Honest Tea is trying to move into Sweet Leaf’s home territory!
After starting out in Beaumont in 1998, Sweet Leaf Tea moved to Austin in 2003. The company has gotten so big that it’s distributed around the country. Commonly paired with Austin’s Tito’s Vodka, Sweet Leaf has become quite the party drink-interesting because the company seems to be run by “Granny,” a 90-year old-ish woman who doesn’t seem to be a party animal.
Earlier today, we got this EXCLUSIVE interview with Granny via instant messenger. As you’ll see in the screen grabs, below, she starts off dodging the questions. As the interview goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that she isn’t too happy with Honest Tea. I’ll let you interpret her cryptic messages yourself, but it sounds to me like she’s going to use some violent force.
Oh yeah, and I’m pretty sure she hits on me.

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Holy Shit! That was awesome, Chris!!
Oh, Chris! You are too funny! So, I guess it is true. I heard there was a truck driving around town saying something along the lines of: “This isn’t your granny’s tea.” Well, well, well. We shall see how Austin unites behind Granny!
