Our Values & Commitment to Sustainability

At Southern Sweet Tea Company, we believe that great tea starts with great values. We're committed to doing business in a way that's good for our customers, our community, and our planet.

Quality Over Shortcuts

We could make our tea cheaper by using instant powder, artificial sweeteners, or lower-grade ingredients. But we don't. We believe in doing things the right way, even when it's harder, because quality matters and our customers deserve the best.

Honest Ingredients

Transparency is important to us. We use real tea leaves, pure cane sugar, and filtered water—that's it. No artificial flavors, no preservatives, no ingredients you can't pronounce. What you see on the label is what you get in the bottle.

Sustainable Packaging

We're continuously working to reduce our environmental impact through:

  • Recyclable bottles and packaging materials
  • Efficient shipping practices to minimize our carbon footprint
  • Partnering with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability
  • Reducing waste in our production process

Supporting Our Community

We believe in giving back to the communities that support us. Whether it's partnering with local businesses, supporting community events, or contributing to causes we care about, we're committed to being good neighbors.

Southern Hospitality

At our core, we're guided by the principles of Southern hospitality: treating people with kindness, respect, and generosity. This shows up in how we interact with our customers, our partners, and each other.

Our Ongoing Journey

We know there's always room to improve, and we're committed to continuously finding ways to be better stewards of our resources and our community. Sustainability isn't a destination—it's an ongoing commitment we take seriously.
