FAQ's

  • As you may know, we’ve had some issues recently with our 16 oz. glass bottles and, after a lot of consideration, we have decided to stop production in glass. We appreciate your continued support as we make this transition and encourage you to enjoy the same great taste of Sweet Leaf Tea in our BPA free 16-ounce plastic bottles.

  • It’s Sweet Leaf’s one and only “Granny!”—Clayton’s grandmother, Mimi. She used to make him homemade sweet tea on hot summer days, so when Clayton decided to start a business bottling tea that tasted homemade, he used her original recipes.

  • Each flavor varies —the teas and lemonades range from 0 calories in our Diet and our Unsweet teas to 95 calories per serving in our lemonades. The amount of calories in each beverage is found on the nutritional label of each bottle. You can also find this information in the “Flavors” section of this website.

  • Most of our teas and all of our lemonades are USDA certified organic. You’ll know what’s organic when you see the USDA Organic marking found on each bottle. You can also take a look through the “Flavors” section of the website to find product descriptions, nutrition labels and ingredients for each flavor of homemade goodness.

  • We don’t add caffeine to any of our beverages. That being said, all of our teas naturally contain some caffeine. Our Green Teas contain the least amount of caffeine with about 1/4 the amount found in a comparable serving of coffee (about 10mg of caffeine per 8 ounces of green tea). Our Black Teas contain about 1/2 the amount of caffeine found in a comparable serving of coffee (about 15mg per 8-ounce serving of black tea). If caffeine makes you jumpy, our Organic Lemonade is naturally caffeine-free!

  • We recommend that you enjoy your Sweet Leaf before the “Best By” date. The Best By date is not an expiration date, but rather the date we recommend to ensure the best taste. You can find the Best By date on the second line of the date code right after “BB.”

  • Sure we do! All of our diet teas are sweetened with sucralose and/or acesulfame potassium and are completely sugar free. We also have our Lemon & Lime Unsweet Tea which is sugar free.
