Last week in “The GULP” we offered some of our most devoted fans a chance to win a 6 pack of their favorite tea. All they had to do was have the closest bid on how much loot was in the bottle of Sweet Leaf Tea pictured below without going over. Remind you of anybody in particular? Before reading further, what’s your best guess?
What's your best guess?
After pouring through several emails, I’m proud to announce that the lucky winner coming in at just $38.36 is none other than Shawn T. of Denver, Colorado. Yep, Shawn’s expecting a 6 pack of his favorite flavor Original in the next couple of days. So, how close was he? Well, that 16oz. glass Sweet Leaf Tea bottle can surprising hold $45.56!

We all know that Epiphone has some pretty sweet guitars. And we’ve been known to giveaway a few fancy-smancy ones in our time. But, when we opened up the boxes to reveal these beauties, a cat fight almost ensued to see who would hold it first. (FYI…I won.)

Blog poster seanningham is the winner of the Best Live Music Experience Blog Contest. Congrats!
This autographed Buzzfest '09 guitar rocks!
After reading about his Bjork experience at ACL in ‘07, it sounds like we all missed quite a show. I can imagine her intense vocals brought a knot to his throat. And I agree that Bjork is much more fierce and much more cute than Hannah Montana. Cheers to inspirational female artists and unforgettable live music experiences.
Thanks to everyone who shared their stories. We love good music and we’re glad you do too.
Fun Fun Fun Fest Artist Signed Gee-tar

If you spent your weekend out at Fun Fun Fun Fest last weekend, hopefully you noticed that Sweet Leaf Tea was out at the festival, too. We had a great time listening to some new bands (new to me, anyways) and slingin’ tea—especially in the gorgeous Saturday sunshine. Unfortunately, Sunday was a bit of an ACL repeat with all the rain, only sans Dillo Dirt.
Throughout the festival, I was scoping out artists (no I’m not a stalker) who were gracious enough to sign our Sweet Leaf Tea Gibson guitar. As soon as I mentioned that we were giving it away to one lucky fan from the festival, they were all over it. Literally, they pretty much covered every inch of it.
For a fact, I know that Crystal Antlers, Beta Player, SSion, Les Savy Fav, LAX, Foot Patrol, Of Montreal, James Husband, Danzig, Health, Red Sparowes, The Roller, Barron, and some other very fancy John Hancock’s (to be identified) have made their mark upon this black gee-tar.
So, who might be the lucky winner of this festival treasure? Congratulations to Cory Brown! Cory entered in our text campaign at the festival having never won anything in his life. Well, Cory, those days are over my friend. You are forever a winner in our book! We hope you rock it out like the rockers that signed it.
For those who didn’t win this time, be sure to check out our contest page from time to time and find out how you can join the ranks of these lucky ones.
The Sweet Leaf Tea Winners Circle

One of the best parts about my job, (yes there are several best parts) is giving away cool prizes. I love surprising our fans with a call to announce that he or she is the lucky winner of “X”. Sometimes it’s tickets to an event like Lollapalooza, ACL or this weekend’s Fun Fun Fun Fest. Sometimes it’s tickets to a Texas Stars Hockey game. And sometimes, yes sometimes, it’s a shiny new Gibson guitar.
If you were out at ACL last month, you might have noticed that Granny was running a text to win Gibson guitar campaign. We had several entries over the course of the weekend and we were able to award 3 lucky winners one of 3 super sweet guitars. We had 2 Gibson Les Paul guitars and one psychedelic SG Zoot Suit. (Winning that rainbow guitar would make me start lessons—I love it!)
The day after ACL, I sent out texts to the winners and called to solidify the deal. All three winners just happened to be guitar players and were super excited to win such beautiful guitars. (Who wouldn’t, right?) I was happy to play Santie, but sad to see the guitars go. Especially because I never got to take them out of the box and give them each a strum or two. I leave the “christening” to the winner.
I do ask only one thing of these lucky guitar owners and that is to send me a picture back of them with their winnings. Lately, the pictures coming from the winners circle have been quite impressive—creative even. And it looks like the competition is getting steeper thanks to ACL guitar winner Dave Z. Check him out! His photo looks like a CD cover!
Dave—Sweet Leaf Tea Guitar Winner from ACL Contest
So, if you happen to win one of our sweet guitars from one of the many festivals Sweet Leaf Tea sponsors, know that the picture competition is on. We like to see our fans rockin’ out!
Oh, and if you’re coming out to Fun Fun Fun Fest this weekend be sure to look for the Granny head. She’ll be announcing a contest that’s triple the fun.
