    The Sweet Leaf Team 2008!

    The Sweet Leaf Team 2008!



    Howdy to all and Happy Halloween!

    I am new to the office here in Austin, as the Consumer Services Manager/Receptionist/Awesome-All-Around-Girl-Friday and thought I’d share a little about my first (EVER) experience drinking the Mint & Honey Sweet Tea. My first thought was, “OHMYGAWD! It’s freaking awesome.” My next thoughts were around how I should share my thoughts with all of you; so here I am.

    I came to Sweet Leaf Tea after almost 5 years at Whole Foods Market. Due to what I learned at Whole Foods Market in regards to eating natural foods, I have been working towards a full life-style change. With a lot of hard work, I went from almost 300 lbs a little over a year ago to hovering just over 200 lbs. I have a lot of hard work ahead of me but I am confident that I can achieve my goal. I have been a Coke and iced tea fan my whole life but since this change, I have limited my caffeine intake and my sugar intake. I do not sweeten my tea, so that part is easy, but getting off the Cokes was a challenge. To be honest, I do still indulge in Mexican Cokes (they contain real cane sugar-like our teas, instead of high fructose corn syrup) a couple of times a month but I can drink iced tea any time just to get a bit of a punch without any sugar. I have tried many of the Sweet Leaf Teas in my time and have clung to the Lemon & Lime Unsweet Tea.

    After asking folks on Twitter yesterday to tell us what their favorite flavor was, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and try the Mint & Honey. This brings me back to posting on The Sip. WOW! Who knew a bottled tea could be this incredible? I surely didn’t! I think because it’s Halloween and I am feeling in the spirit of things (as one of the ONLY folks in the office dressed up today) that I will enjoy the whole 120 calories (60 calories per 8 oz serving) today rather than letting my guilt, er life-style change force me to just smile and drink the Lemon & Lime Unsweet Tea. I want to be clear that I LOVE the Lemon & Lime Unsweet Tea, too.

    The inside of my lid says, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”, and I am inclined to think that statement is insanely accurate this day and age. I am proud of this hand that is feeding my family and me and I am proud of the products we create. We create smiles! Like the huge one plastered on my face right now thanks to Mint & Honey Sweet Tea!

    Sweet Leaf Retreat

    By Ash on Oct 28     Filed In Uncategorized     Add a Comment

    It was a whirlwind, but we just returned from 3 days of meetings, presentations and planning at our company retreat! Each year, Sweet Leaf employees from near and far travel down to Austin, Texas (yes, the live music capital of the world) to gather together in lakeside cabins for some good ‘ole strategizing meetings, ‘08 recapping and ‘09 planning. It wasn’t all straight talk though, as we can’t forget the important parts of the retreat like the pontoon boats (1 of which nearly sank) and endless games of beer pong (hail to the champions Russel and Elizabeth)!

    In addition to fun and games, we were able to hear wise words of wisdom from one of our biggest fans, Mr. Jim Wimberly, former COO of Southwest Airlines! From Jim, we learned about team leadership, the great environment of Southwest Airlines over the past 30 years and even about the Boner of the Year Award… hold on now, it’s not what you think! It’s acually a prestigious award at SWA for the person who makes the biggest goof of the year.

    All in all it was a fantastic retreat - can’t wait to see everybody next year!
