ON THE TENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME…
10 YEARS OF ACL!
Sweet Leaf Tea has been a part of this music festival since year one and has kept the masses refreshed and cool all 10 years! Jot down your favorite ACL show ever in it’s ten year history and what Sweet Leaf flavor you were sipping on while you were watching it! Winner of this day wins an awesome Sweet Leaf YETI COOLER! Good Luck!
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – Half and Half.
The reason this Sweet Leaf flavor is so important is that it describes my state and theirs. They were for sure half in the bag on stage and I was half in the bag watching them. Together we were all in.
Peach Iced Tea for Flogging Molly
Muse! I was sippin’ on a mint and honey w/ a dash of tito’s.
In 2004 watching Trey Anastasio while I was sipping on mint and honey all day when it was 100+ degrees that day. Hot and dusty days…
Hope this is the right place to enter the contest. I went to my first ACL festival this past year and was sipping on the Mint and Honey tea while watching Coldplay! Awesome show!
My favorite show ever was Arcade Fire this past year, and you know I was sipping that citrus green tea!
Kasey Chambers in 1999 or early 2000!
My favorite performance was Phoenix. Specifically because Thomas Mars came out into the crowd right where my friend and I were standing. It was a perfect concert after waiting years to see them.
The 2011 10 year Anniversary Show. Drinking SLT Mint and Honey Green Tea .
Slt is awesome!
Dust bowl 2005. Straight Hibiscus, homie. Wilco…middle of the day…hot as hell.
Omg I know that totally old when I say this because I can’t even remember if it was 2 or three years ago! Lol
But my total fav was when I finally got to see Pearl Jam!!!! Woohooo!!! After thinking all through high school that I would never get to see them they came to Austin and it was awesome sauce 
Coldplay and Original Sweet Tea
Sorry I so got excited about Pearl Jam, haha! But the best part was enjoying it with a delicious Citris Sweet Leaf Tea in hand
Coldplay in 2005, even though it was a horrible dust bowl, I was drinking Mint & Honey making everything alright!
Widespread Panic 2000! Was drinking the original organic sweet tea! Best sweet tea out there!
2011 anniversary show… Drinking my fav, mint and honey!!
REM (don’t remember the year) and original sweet tea, a bunch of em.
Arcade Fire fo’ shizzle! Sippin’ on some delicious Lemonade Tea
2011 listening to Coldplay as the balloons where
Flying High! Drinking regular flavor with family!
Saved all my ACL Sweet Leaf Tea cups!!
Austin’s oh so Cool!!
My ALL-TIME favorite ACL show….Tom Petty! It was raining so a large portion of the crowd left. We stuck it out since Tom promised to finish the show. And he did! He came back and played even longer than his set time. One of my favorite memories – ever. We had to stock up on supplies since we were committed to staying there throughout the show. I had my favorite SLT in hand – mint and honey. I’ve grown to love diet peach and raspberry too!
2009, asleep at the wheel, the band was good but my Sweet Leaf mint and honey green tea was amazing!!
I would have to say The 10 yr anniversary show and as also my favorite tea flavor is the mint and honey! So refreshing on a scorching day!!
2009 Citizen Cope while it was raining drinking the ultimate flavor of sweat leaf peach tea
yummmy!
Never been. I live in Pennsylvania. This is really not a fair competition. I am also still waiting for a response to my e-mail inquiry as to where to find/buy the lip balm. So far, I am terribly disappointed by this company’s lack of professionalism.
I live in NJ so attending the event is impossible. However, if I were to attend, I would be drinking Citrus Green Tea.
The B-52s with a blackberry pomegranate green tea!
2012 watching someone bad to the bones, sippin on Sweet Leaf Tea Mint and Honey Green Tea. Bam! (Sorry, I live in VA and haven’t yet participated in ACL…YET)
I’ve never been to ACL music festival. I have watched videos of it on You Tube and I watch the ACL show on a regular basis. (Also a proud supporter of PBS!) One of my favorite shows ever was Iron and Wine, and I was drinking a Half and Half while watching it.
Best ACL memory ever: Sipping on an Original Sweet Leaf Tea (from a commemorative cup) while watching K’Naan under the tent. Thanks Sweet Leaf!
Augustana 2007 with the original tea! Both of my favorites!
Favorite Show was The National last year and I was holding on to The Original Sweet Leaf Tea in one hand and a hottie in the other.
Arcade Fire and Mint & Honey <3
2004- sipping Mint and Honey watching Robert Randolph and the family Band jam out smooth criminal with guest drummer Quest Love.
2010, Manchester Orchestra with original flavor in my hand and peach in my 7 year old’s hand.
I remember watching Kings of Leon and drinking the Original Sweet Tea in 2009!
The Arcade Fire, drinking Mint & Honey Green Tea
2011 My first Acl concert! Young the giant. Accompanied by Mint and Honey tea, while getting rained on!
My favorite ACL show of all time was Them Crooked Vultures. To see all that talent on stage together at one time was mind blowing. I was sippin on a Diet Original. mmmm delash
Just found this on your site and agree 100%!
“If you doubt that a zero-calorie sweet tea can taste as good as The Original, ask one of the thousands of people at Austin City Limits Music Festival, where we ran out of The Original Sweet Tea. We served them Diet for a few hours and no one noticed. True story.”
2011 Alison Krauss and Union Station, sipping Mint and Honey.
ACL Fest 2010, watching Kinky completely throw it out both pants legs under the tent, and I slamming back SLT Peach, before, during, and after!
Never was lucky enough to go – but if I did I would be sipping on Sweet Leaf Tea Sweet Tea – yummy!!!
Muse and Mint & Honey! Being able to enjoy it thoroughly was particularly difficult, though, as we had been sitting in our front row center spot all day. As you might know, if you’re in the front row, you try as hard as you can to not leave the front row (as you never know if you’ll be able to get back up there), so fluid intake was at a minimum to, you know, avoid having to make a trip to the port-a-potty. But, believe me, that Mint & Honey was there when it was time for some serious thirst quenching business!
Most definitely Pretty Lights while enjoying original Sweet Tea. Check out the RE:GENERATION Music Video of PL version of “Wayfaring Stranger”. http://youtu.be/mVm2ABZrITw
Been to ACL every year and the best two where getting to see Coldplay up close with a cold Mint and honey. ACL is where I discovered both and have loved both ever since.
The knux a pleasant surprise sippin on some sweetleaf peach tea!
My favorite ACL show of all time was Pearl Jam in 2009. I drank two orginal Sweet Leaf Iced Teas, stomped each can flat and tied them to my bottom of my feet with shoe strings. All I really wanted to avoid, my bare feet in the dillo dirt! Granny would’a been proud!
Half and half at Cold War Kids with my now husband and great friends!
How will we know who won?? Will you post it on your Facebook page?
This is easy: Tom Petty
Not so easy- picking my fav flavor.. Too many, but my #1 will have to be Half and Half!
Muse and half and half
The very first ACL. I sprinted across Zilker after a few Patty Griifin songs to catch an amazing Wilco set. And I was drinking sugar free lemon lime. Oh, how I miss that tasty Sweet Leaf tea at ACL.
