Yesterday as the heat soared into the 90's, I was at my local Bi-Lo picking up a few things for the weekend's festivities.
As usual I was hot from running errands and had a terrible thirst!
I was looking in the static displays they have of all of the single bottles of drinks. Nothing caught my attention. It was too hot for a Pepsi, a bottled Frappaccino wasn't going to work and the juices there just wasn't rousing my attention enough to pick one.
I was walking by the deli on my way to the water fountain and saw these bottles.
I have heard of the Beacon Drive In. Anyone worth their rebel flag knows where Spartanburg and the home of the best hash plate is.
I picked up a bottle and read the contents, tea concentrate, lemon, sugar, a few other things to help with shelf life. So I bought one and then I saw they had the tea in plain, lemon and peach. It also came in quart sizex and believe me I thought about getting one of those instead of the 16oz bottle!
I have been disappointed before by bottled tea, so I took a chance on a small one.
MAN! I should have bought the quart!
It was great! Just enough of the lemon to give the tea the kick it needed to get by the sometimes aftertaste you get from tea concentrates!
I had it gone by the time I got home. I don't live but 3 miles away from the Bi-Lo.
I do not know if this will be sold nationally or just in the South...but it SHOULD BE!
To all of my Palmetto State readers, if you get the chance this weekend to stop by a Bi-Lo, do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of this tea.
If you live in the Spartanburg area and are reading my blog, do me a favor and eat a hash plate for me! Beacon has their menu online...just in case y'all want to make your mouth water!
Sorry I haven't been around a while. I have been attempting to get a relief effort down to my friend and sister witch, Wyllow. She lives just 40 north of the "disaster area" of NOLA.
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Brightest tea blessings to y'all!

I took your advice!
I went towards N. Charleston from Georgetown and got a quart of the Beacon. If it was as good as you say it was, I thought I should go ahead and get the biggie.
I bought the peach.
It was goooooooood!
Yum!
I have been to Spartanburg, who hasn't if you are a local. I have been to the dairy bar of the Beacon Drive in.
We spent mmost of our nights at Wild Wings. I went to USC up there for 2 years, then transferred to Charleston College.
This was really good tea, even Gemmie liked it and she doesn't care for caffeine drinks.
Tell Wyllow if you talk to her that she is in my personal rituals as well.
Thanks for the heads up on this tea.
