GowallaAre you a Gowalla user? Be on the lookout for virtual Sweet Leaf Tea cans at check-in points around the Austin area. If you find one, you’ll receive redemption information to come trade it in at Sweet Leaf Tea HQ for a real one — happy hunting!

What is Gowalla? It’s a location-based travel game that rewards you for visiting both everyday and extraordinary places, using game mechanics as a motivator to go places, do things and meet friends.

Players use a GPS-enable smartphone (currently available on the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry devices; coming soon for the Palm Pre) to check in at places of interest, share their location with friends, and leave comments about their travels. They are credited for their efforts with a game-like achievement system that rewards visiting both common and unique locations with a variety of iconic stamps.

Check ins and trips can be shared on the web with Facebook, Twitter or via the Gowalla.com website.

Check it out, people!

YouTube’s David Choi Loves Sweet Leaf

By April on Oct 6     Filed In Uncategorized     Add a Comment

If you use YouTube, you likely have heard of David Choi. The Los Angeles based singer / songwriter became a YouTube sensation when he performed a song called “YouTube” in late 2006. More than 2,000,000 people tuned into David’s initial video and now over 67,000 people are daily subscribers to his YouTube channel. David has recently posted four videos discussing Sweet Leaf Tea. Combined, these videos have had more than 150,000 views so far. Sweet Leaf Tea has the honor of teaming up with David Choi for the October 28 release of his debut Album, “Only You.” We are helping him promote the album with a series of online giveaways including an iPod Nano, SLT swag, limited edition autographed “David Choi Blend” bottles of Sweet Leaf Tea, and one lucky winner will get a case of Sweet Leaf Tea with their face on the bottle. As Sweet Leaf Tea has a foundation and love for music (and we enjoy seeing up and coming artists do well), this was a perfect fit for our online activities coming off our recent successful partnership with Paramore.
