What to know

Founded in Montgomery, Alabama, in 2015 by Wes Willis and Golson Foshee, the Alabama Sweet Tea Company describes itself as 'born in Alabama and raised in Texas.' The company gained significant prominence in Waco after being discovered by Chip and Joanna Gaines in 2016, eventually parking its food truck at the Magnolia Food Truck Park, also known as the Silos, in 2022. The Waco truck is the company's only physical location and operates in partnership with the Magnolia brand. It serves a variety of freshly brewed iced tea blends, which are served in custom, Instagram-worthy reusable glass mason jars. The menu offers four distinct sweetness styles: the Yankee (unsweet), the Southern (full sweet), the Mason Dixon (half sweet), and the Holiday (a spiced twist). Beyond its presence at the Silos, the company is a recognized vendor in the community, appearing on Baylor University's approved caterers list as both a food truck and catering provider. The business has seen immense success at its Waco site, recently celebrating the milestone of serving its 1 millionth jar of tea.
