CHARLSTON TEA PLANTATION:
The Charlston Tea Plantation, Owned by the Bigelow Family and William Barclay Hall, is the only place in America where tea is commercially grown. At one point, it was owned by Lipton and I was the tea taster for the estate. I have fond memories of my visits down to Wadmala Island, where the tea is grown.
I have known Lori Bigelow and Bill Hall for over 30 years, they truly can be counted as among my best friends. It is just good fortune that they would both be involved in owning and running Americas only Tea Estate.

Hi-
I am from the south and we of course know our sweet tea. My family and I moved to the Seattle area in 2002 and were immediately distraught to find that no restaurants sold brewed sweet tea. I am sure you know that you can't add sugar to unsweetened brewed tea after it cools and get anything similar to good old sweet tea.
At some point last year, my local 7-11 added Coopers Sweet Tea to their Big Gulp machine and my husband tried it. He ran straight home (he was actually on his way to work) and said "Baby you have to try this!!! It's amazing" and I did and I was totally amazed and so happy. Your tea is FABULOUS. It tastes just like the sweet tea we had at the bbq restaurant I worked at when I was 18 and in college. It tastes like my Grandma's sweet tea. I am totally addicted to it and love it very much. Keep up the great work!!

Dear Cooper Tea company:
To start, I would like to explain that I developed a taste for tea, both hot and iced, when I was a child. My father drank both hot and iced teas and I realized then how wonderful, natural and refreshing it is. I've been a fan since. One thing that prevents me from dirinking more iced tea when dining out though is that it's usually tasteless. At home, I can brew it a little stronger to give it more flavor but sometimes it ruins the taste.
Recently, my wife and I were ding out at the local Rock bottom Brewery restaurant and she ordered an iced tea. Much to my surprise when it arrived at our table, it was a very rich in color. I had to try some! After tasting it, I quicly told our waiter to change my diet cola to iced tea. I proceeeded to drink at least a quart of your awesome tea while having lunch.
Your tea is easily the best tea I've ever tasted. For once, a tea that has flavor. I've drank all kinds of teas an yours is simply the most flavorful without being bitter. I have been on a diet so I sweetened my tea with a low cal sweetener and just a small squeeze of lemon. What a taste treat after drinking so many tasteless diet drinks! After our meal, I asked the waiter what kind of tea it was an he told me it was Cooper's Iced Brew tea. Of course I'm now trying to locate a place to buy some, now that your tea has moved to the top of my favorite drink list. This story is true and I mean every word of it.! Thanks for such a great tea!!!

"I spend about $300.00 a month on Bazza Green Tea... can't seem to find it since I moved to NM... I drove 36 hours straight moving here to Ruidoso, New Mexico, from Florida. Drinking only the 18 I bought in Florida... The Bazza Green Tea experience...wow! Cheaper than a hotel... I NEED it now, I am a writer and need that extra boost on extended nights with hours and hours of writing... SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!"

I have recently had the pleasure of trying your BW Coopers BAZZA High Energy Green Tea and was delighted and enthralled by its delicious flavor and energy benefits. I'm currently a student at the Univ of Nevada Reno. i have tried many other energy beverages and found them to be excesssively sugary, many times unenjoyable in flavor or without boosts to my energy level. I tried your product over at a friends house and I truly enjoyed drinking it. I found myself actually savoring the flavor and taking pleasure in the drink. I would pay virtually anything for a few cases for myself. I would love to share my findings with classmates, friends and acquaintances.

I am the guitarist for the Orlando based Rock band "Mourning Yesterday". Your teas are by far the best tasting of their kind out there today. Besides being a musician, I am also a certified personal trainer and fitness consultant. I always recommend your product to any of my clients that are on a calorie restricted weight reduction program as well as anyone who needs that extra push to get thru an intense workout. We are all very proud to support BAZZA and will continue to promote these drinks on our website as well as in our shows. You can check out ads for BAZZA teas on our websites www.mourningyesterday.com and www.myspace.com/mourningyesterday. We want to help get the name of BAZZA tea out as much as we can as this is a product we all strongly believe in.

Cooper's Iced Brew Sweet Tea is the gem of the South! I just recently discovered your products here in Florida at our local 7-11 and just can't get enough. I'm not sure I have the patience to wait for it to come out in a bottle but until then, I will be visiting a 7-11 as often as possible! -Pennie

Dear B.W. Cooper:
I just wanted to let you know how much my daughter-in-law loves your sweet tea. She discovered it during her pregnancy and craved it. After she give birth to my precious granddaughter, I picked up a 64 oz. cup of your tea and brought it to her at the hospital. You should have seen her face light up when I walked into her room with that cup. Since then, I have been going to the store twice a week to fill a one gallon pitcher with B.W. Cooper's sweetened iced brew tea to keep in the refrigerator for her. Sincerely, Brenda in Milwaukee, OR
"One of the most important aspects of my day is deciding what goes on my menu. Everything must be perfect for my customers. I have no problem selecting the tea. B.W. Cooper's is the most superb iced tea I have ever tasted, and is the only one served at the Flagstaff House."
