USA: Celebrating National Iced Tea Month in June
By Company Press Release | 8 June 2000
It was the summer of 1904, and temperatures at the World's Fair in St. Louis soared. Sales of hot tea in the Far East Tea House were non-existent, until a young Englishman named Richard Blechynden -- in an act of desperation -- poured tea into glasses with ice cubes. Iced tea was born, and it quickly became the fair's favorite beverage.
