Have a bit of a competitive streak? Get a little worked up over a friendly game of Go Fish? Me too.

Lucky for the rest of us, Granny’s an exceptionally good sport, and has some of her helpful tips and reminders tucked under Sweet Leaf bottle caps. The next time you find yourself getting worked up over a heated game of checkers or wanting to insult the rival quarterback’s mom, grab a bottle of Sweet Leaf Tea and let Granny drop some wisdom on you.

Which of Granny’s under-the-cap words of wisdom helps keep your competitive side in check?

Contest: Comment on this blog post with the Grannyism you think is most suitable for keeping “friendly” games friendly. Tell us which one and why. We’ll check out the answers and select one lucky winner to enjoy a case of Sweet Leaf Tea and a fancy checkers set.

Hint: check out our Facebook page (and here) for a list of Grannyisms.

Lollapalooza Round 2!

I can’t believe it is less than a week until I will be in lovely Chi-town slingin’ some Sweet Leaf Tea with my awesome tea’mates. This will be my second year attending Lolla and I couldn’t be more excited.

Last year was my practice round…this year I’m gonna be a Lolla pro!

When I’m not passing out the best tea on the planet, you can find me jamming to my favorite bands. This year, I have a huge dilemma- Coldplay or Muse? Gwyneth Paltrow’s handsome hubby or Kate Hudson’s baby daddy? Of course they are both playing at the same time Friday night! I love them both and I can’t decide! Might just come to the toss of a coin!

Lollapalooza tip: Bring a poncho! We’ve got a 50% chance of scattered T-storms on Friday in Chicago, folks!

And believe me- I am not letting anything rain on my parade! (pun intended)

Hey music enthusiasts,

Free Press Summer fest is this weekend and being a native Texan I can give you the inside scoop….it’s gonna be HOT! Lucky for you, you’ll have access to homemade goodness across the entire festival [Sweet Leaf Tea].

With great festivals, come great music, and Free Press Summer has it going on this year! I have scoured the line-up and chose 5 of my top picks for you to enjoy while at the fest! Below are my choices, but be sure to scroll down and check out the festival guide with the schedule and map attached!!

Black Joe Lewis!
Awesome band from Austin that knows how to boogie on stage with horns, matching outfits, and a sound that will blow you away!

Bun B
Growing up an hour and a half from Houston, I know alittle bit about HTX rap. Must see show if you enjoy Hip-Hop.

Junior Brown
Playing a Guit-Steel (dual guitar and steel guitar), this man knows how to entertain a crowd.

Neon Indian
My first original pick, don’t even think about this one. See below and see that show.

Cut Copy
Great Australian band that recently released a new album.

Honorable mention:
Lil’Keke and Zro
Beirut
Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings
Those Darlins
Tobacco
Yeasayer
Chromeo
Weezer – Duh.

You can catch me slinging tea or at these shows! See you Saturday! –SweetLeafDanny

While you guys are working hard on your Valentines Day, Granny-inspired haiku’s, I thought I’d share a little video poem from one of our favorite Facebook fans, Kerry O’Brien. Anytime Kerry comments he puts it in the form of a poem/rap and we thought it’d be cool if he’d do a little number for our blog. Would you believe he agreed to for some Raspberry tea?! Easy yo!
