Sweet Leaf Tea, one of the nation’s fastest-growing makers of ready-to-drink iced teas, announced today that it has completed its largest round of funding to date — $18 million of growth capital.  Made from all-natural ingredients, including purified water, pure cane sugar and high-quality organic tea leaves, Sweet Leaf Tea is made and brewed based on Clayton’s grandmother’s recipe and technique. Sweet Leaf Tea, which is available in 10 classic iced-tea flavors and three lemonade flavors, is available nationwide through Kroger, Safeway and at natural and specialty food stores including Whole Foods.
