I was able to find out that it comes as loose tea and is from Triple C Food Products Co. Chicago, IL 60610. I have not ordered any, but if you have gotten different information since your post, please let me know. It is the best tea around.

I have been on a sweet tea mission for years now. Chick-fil-a is my favorite, and Starbucks brews a darn good black shaken iced -tea sweetened too. (expensive though!) So, years ago, I have tried this method, of 'blending the sugar with the warm tea", and then pouring with the water (as the originator of this post specified.) The problem is - it tasted "caramel-y". Not good, not like 'tea' should taste, it tasted like caramel, not something you'd want to drink. I just have a question to – whomever can answer. I have been on a sweet tea mission for years now.

I dont even make it at home which is kind of silly considering how much I drink it. I go to CFA for tea regularly- though their tea changes often and lately they switched brands it seems and its always changing and varies. I've found sonnys to be pretty decent...and most teas at restaurants seem good... There however are drive thru places in the small town I live in where they have this really good tea--mm love it and if I ever go back I get that tea... Yeah good sweet tea has to be where the sugar is put in when the tea is hot--can tell that though I rarely make it. I just waste my time going to drive thrus getting iced tea a few times a day....but yes iced tea for me is like coffee-- and have to have it everyday several times a day....

It's also good and they use ice similar to Sonic. Chic-Fil-A’s sweet tea is awesome… but you should try Chicken Express’ Sweet Tea!!! It’s also good and they use ice similar to Sonic.

If anyone knows the secret to Sonny's BBQ Sweet Tea please share it. I have asked what kind of tea they use and I always get the same answer. It's Sonny's Tea. Now Sonny makes some great BBQ too but I gotta have that iced tea recipe and brand. So, someone who knows please share it here. Southern Sweet Tea is awesome!

I didn't know what real sweet tea was until I married and had a family dinner at his grandma's house. I hope to someday inherit the tools she uses to make her tea. Because somehow her recipe doesn't taste the same making it with my utensils :-) I like chick-fil-a tea, I like my dad's sweet tea, I like our sweet tea, but I LOVE Grandma Schader's sweet tea!!

Here in Texas it's easy to get. If you're ever in Gainesville, TX stop at Taco Casa. Everyone here knows it's the best tea in town, and a 32 oz. is just 99 cents! <br /><br />At our house we drink a gallon a day: 3 family size tea bags, 1 cup sugar (definitely add the sugar while it's hot) and add tap water. There's no such thing as "adding sugar to unsweet iced tea" at a restaurant. I HATE it when a waitress says "We have sugar packets you can add." My usual response is, "I"ll have Dr. Pepper instead."
