After discovering teas from around the world, they're happy to come home to an American classic: black tea with lemon. In fact, iced tea is an American invention, first popularized at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. their recipe calls for just the right balance of tasty ingredients, with an Honest twist - certified organic and just a tad sweet.

Kosher, 60 Calories 1% for the planet USDA Organic, Gluten-free About Honest They Were Thirsty Seth Goldman, co-founder of Honest Tea, drank a lot of liquids. An active person, Seth was continually in search of the perfect drink to quench his thirst after a run, a game of basketball, or between grad school classes. Yet, Seth found most drinks either too sweet or too tasteless. Barry Nalebuff, Seth's professor at the Yale School of Management, found that he and Seth shared a passion for the idea of a less sweet, but flavorful beverage during a class discussion of a Coke vs. Pepsi case study. They agreed that there were tons of sweet options and lots of watery drinks, but in 1994, there was nothing in between to fill the void. Fast forward to '97. Seth goes for a run in New York City with a college friend who used to concoct juice drinks with him after class. As they found themselves doing the same beverage mixing after the run, Seth knew then that if he was going to quench his thirst for good, he would have to create the drink himself. He e-mailed Barry to see if he was still excited about the idea. Timing was everything. Barry had just returned from India where he had been analyzing the tea industry for a case study. Barry had even come up with a name to describe a bottled tea that was made with real tea leaves-Honest Tea. When Seth heard the name, the simmering idea began to boil-it was the perfect name for a brand that would strive to create honest relationships with its customers, suppliers and the environment. Seth took a deep breath, quit his job at Calvert mutual funds, and started brewing batches of tea in his kitchen. Five weeks after taking the plunge, he brought thermoses of tea and a recycled bottle with a mock-up label to Fresh Fields (Whole Foods Market). The buyer ordered 15,000 bottles, and Seth and Barry were in business-if they could figure out how to make that much tea. They did, and they're still at it 18 years later. In March 2011, The Coca-Cola Company purchased Honest Tea after an initial 40% investment in 2008, which helped expand the distribution of Honest beverages. Today, Honest Tea is run as an independent business unit and their Honest Teas, Honest Kids, Honest Fizz, Honest Summer Refreshers, and Honest Freshly Brewed iced teas can be found in more than 100,000 stores across United States. The dream that took root in Seth's kitchen in 1998 became a company that just celebrated its 18th anniversary. Seth continues to run the business as the Co-Founder and TeaEO Emeritus in Bethesda, MD with the same passion towards health, the environment, and social responsibility. Mission Honest seeks to create and promote great-tasting, organic beverages. They strive to grow their business with the same honesty and integrity they use to craft their products, with sustainability and great taste for all.
