Or how about Amazon? How do you get products on there? I know they have preferred book sellers that they use. Do they do that with other items?

Yes they do, it's almost Ebayesque, but I don't know what their rules are for food or beverages....It is something to look into Flasch....

you could try sending some to Paula Dean - maybe she'd pimp it on her show

Lorena · 10-17-2008, 10:26 AM

ordered, can't wait to get it!

Flasch186 · 10-19-2008, 07:07 PM

Lorena, you should get your order on Thursday! Definitely let me know what you think and if anyone wants to order some for a family member or friend PM me and hopefully we can do something on the shipping costs...which not surprisingly havnt come down eventhough gas costs have

Okay, I got my order on Thursday, thanks for the prompt shipment!

When I got my package, I was surprised at how heavy the box was. I love the burlap sack you use to package your tea by the way so great first impression.

So today I finally brewed some and oh my god, it was sooo good! It's perfectly sweetened (for me anyway). Ant likes his a little sweeter so we added about a teaspoon of Vanilla Agave Nectar and it took it to a different level.

You have a great product there Flasch, I'll be ordering some more soon for my relatives in So. Cal.

Lorena · 10-27-2008, 07:39 PM

dola,

and the cheat brewing card is great too, without it I'd have to guess how to brew the stuff.

Lorena · 10-27-2008, 08:11 PM

double dola,

what's Mr. Brewman's myspace page?

Flasch186 · 10-27-2008, 08:40 PM

Im glad you like it.

Id love to get it better marketed but the lack of money or risk tolerance is too scary, right now. So I guess im banking on some word of mouth right now and my tiny webads, although I have yet to click activate on the yahoo one eventhough its setup. I dont know why except I check my bank account a lot

here's Ezekial's Myspace page:

Comey · 10-27-2008, 08:41 PM

Word of mouth got you a long-term customer in the speech therapist at the elementary school I work at. I buy the McDonald's Sweet Tea in the morning, as I normally need the energy (and at a buck, it's damn cheap). She saw it and we got to talking tea. Even though I hadn't been able to buy some of this to try it, I recommended it to her (for her husband).

Now, he swears by the stuff.

Flasch186 · 10-27-2008, 08:47 PM

Man, that's awesome!!! Thank you so Much!! Let me know when you order your next batch and I'll put in some extra brew pouches! Thanks a ton!

oh,a nd if anyone needs it shipped somewhere else, like as a gift just send me a PM when you order with the address and such and I can do it for ya.

MacroGuru · 02-04-2009, 02:39 PM

I am out of tea, Friday the order will be placed, plus I will be having you send some to Utah for my Mother In Law as well.

Flasch186 · 02-04-2009, 04:06 PM

sweet! I'll paypal you back a buck for each order as an FOFC discount with your email address if you give it to me

MacroGuru · 04-08-2009, 08:33 PM

Ahh...

I finally have my tea again...

Just an FYI Flasch, I am doing my newsletter this month for my golf shoes site and I am linking out to brewmans to help you out...fingers crossed it gets you some sales.

Flasch186 · 04-08-2009, 08:48 PM

sweet...

on the heels of your blogging stuff, I have a guy who is going to integrate a blog section of the site so that Ezekial will be able to blog and perhaps that's where I can see some benefit to twittering (which is ridiculous if you ask me).

Glad you like the tea my friend and the shout out is much appreciated

EDIT: I didnt get you your buck back but I sent you a crap load of tea (I think like 48) or something....hope that evens it up.

Flasch186 · 04-08-2009, 09:04 PM

Ezekial is gonna get whacky with some twittering....not sure what the means. Should have a blog on the site in the next few weeks too. Ezekial should be busy.

JonInMiddleGA · 04-08-2009, 09:51 PM

Cool, just sent a Facebook friend's request to Zeke.

PurdueBrad · 04-23-2009, 03:24 PM

Just arrived home today to find that my first order of Mr. Brewman's sweet tea is here AND the wife already whipped up a batch. I'm a sweet tea snob and I thought it was awesome! Really, really good and reminds me of my childhood in NC. The one change I will make is I'm a 'rot your teeth it's so sweet' iced tea guy so I'll add a touch more sugar but it is damn good. The wife, who is also picky about sweet tea, loved it as well. Nice product Flasch!

path12 · 04-23-2009, 03:28 PM

That reminds me. Ms.path was mentioning sweet tea a couple weeks back and I told her I knew this place where I could order some......

GrantDawg · 04-23-2009, 03:30 PM

I'm constantly pimping this stuff (though it has been awhile since I odered myself some). It is really good tea.

path12 · 04-23-2009, 03:34 PM

Never had sweet tea before. I'm curious as to what the buzz is about.

Yep, I can't stand it with just sugar. You need some lemon!

What Cuervo said, but, it's much better than the pansy ass tea they try and peddle out on the west coast with lemon...god that is some aweful tasting tea.

Go to a Chick F Lay (however it's spelled) and order a sweet tea. If you don't like it, Pumpy will refund your money.

I can't stand tea with only sugar in it, the lemon gives it some bite.

Lemon with sugar isn't bad. I like to drink Arnold Palmers. It's when it's just lemon and tea that is just absolutely horrible.

I've learn to like it that way, since it's much more healthy then with sugar.

cuervo72 · 04-23-2009, 07:32 PM

Ok, less of a smart-assed answer:

Quote:

Sweet tea is a form of iced tea in which sugar or some other form of sweetener is added to the hot water before brewing, while brewing the tea, or post-brewing, but before the beverage is chilled and served.

I don't drink it anymore (the low-carb thing), but real sweet tea is really really good.

Sugar is good for you. If it wasn't, it wouldn't taste so good.

Marc Vaughan · 04-23-2009, 09:29 PM

I love Sweet tea so I've given in and ordered some

I'd second amazon - I order English food through there myself (darned hard to get hold of Marmite and 'proper' baked beans over here

).

I really liked the first answer actually. That was a pretty dumb question in retrospect.

Understood about the Rot your teeth comment BUT I had to make a judgment call at one point during the recipe process that at some point I'd be pushing out too many people out of the center of the bell curve (lets call it) so I brought it some back to center, If you know what I mean.

Glad you like it!!!

How are the kids and the new ELMO!?

Can't stand lemon in tea. It is a pain the butt to get restaurants not to put lemon in tea. Totally ruins a glass.

Yellow5 · 04-24-2009, 10:13 AM

I caved and just ordered some of this for my wife. She is a sweet tea freak and can't wait to try it out.

Yellow5 · 05-03-2009, 02:29 PM

Ok it has arrived and wife says it is good stuff. She normally makes her own but said this is just as good/better than her homemade tea, and is easier to make.

Flasch186 · 05-03-2009, 02:56 PM

SWEET thanks man!! Im glad you're enjoying it!

ColtCrazy · 05-03-2009, 06:54 PM

I've always loved tea, but now that I'm getting away from buying soft drinks except for the occasional one at a restaurant, I'll be getting a lot more tea. This stuff looks really good, so I will probably order some when I get paid next weekend.

Flasch186 · 05-28-2009, 09:37 PM

so i received a feeler from someone who might want to buy this whole thing from me. I have no idea what to value it at since I hadnt thought about it and I know the potential is there to be huge but I dont have the investment capital to push it there....clueless.

As in the entire business? Will you be asked to continue running it for a period of time? Are they just buying your brandname or the recipe?

Sorry, immediate questions that popped to mind from a legal perspective.

Valuation is generally a question for accountants and experts in that field. It would relate to things like your current revenue, profit and estimated future earnings.

Mustang · 05-28-2009, 11:38 PM

Just as long as 10 years from now, they aren't interviewing some guy standing in front of the 10,000th opening of a 'Mr Brewman's Sweet Tea Shop' and he is talking about how he bought the original recipe for $50 off some guy...

That would suck.

Not sure how profitable this is for you, but if it brings in a little bit, the offer isn't that outstanding and you like doing this.. I'd say pass for now and see what happens.

fantom1979 · 05-29-2009, 03:04 AM

Its like McDonalds all over again

Izulde · 05-29-2009, 03:27 AM

Ditto. Now if he wants to invest in you, that might be a consideration if you feel the business can truly grow. Of course, if the offer is stupid money, you should consider it (and send me some).
