Buffett's Tea
With Jimmy coming out with his own line of teas. I was shocked and a bit disappointed that the "Long Island Ice Tea" was not amoung the flavors. Your thoughts....

Re: Buffett's Tea
And I was wondering if Paradise Teas, the company whose tea Cheescake Factory serves, will object to the name of these products.

Re: Buffett's Tea
Not sure, but I know Paradise Teas is owned by Sara Lee. I worked on an M&A accounting project for them and it was available 24/7. I drank my self silly on the stuff. I still love it to this day, but it is hard to find outside of the CC Factory.ejr wrote:And I was wondering if Paradise Teas, the company whose tea Cheescake Factory serves, will object to the name of these products.

Jimmy's teas: Paradise Key Teas
Sara Lee's teas: Paradise Tropical Teas
The names must have been just different enough to trademark?

A-B InBev is 10 times larger than Sara Lee. I guess we'll find out if size matters.AlbatrossFlyer wrote:let the lawyering begin.....

Re: Buffett's Tea
We love iced tea. The flavors sounds tasty and tempting. Can't wait to try these. Do we know which stores are going to sell them?
Thanks for posting about these.
Also like the name and the label. Both very appropriate.
When we taste them, we'll come back and post and tell you what we think about the flavor.

Re: Buffett's Tea
They had the Paradise Key Diet Peach Red Tea at MOTM. Let's just say, it was not the best diet iced tea that I have ever tasted. I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors.

Re: Buffett's Tea
I've never liked the taste of any drink that was diet. But will try it and see. I may be pleasantly surprised. But am anxious to try the other flavors.

I agree-I drink some Diet Snapple teas, but I would prefer they used no sweetener at all.KruzinParrots wrote:I've never liked the taste of any drink that was diet. But will try it and see. I may be pleasantly surprised. But am anxious to try the other flavors.
