Ezekial Brewman (??? — 1901) found his calling early in his life in travels to the Orient to meet with monks and purveyors of fine teas and their mystical powers.  He spent years working with the monks in reading the leaves, smelling the teas, and training his senses.  The Master Brewer would put Mr. Brewman through the rigors of sensory deprivation so that Mr. Brewman could sense a fake tea even without one of his senses.  When blinded, he could feel a fake leaf, he could smell an imposter, and taste a fraud becoming a Brewmaster of tea.  Even though Mr. Brewman would completely surround himself in the world of tea and give up his material needs it would be tea and the monks that would show him the way and give him something to bring back to his home in Virginia.

About 1863, both the Union and Confederate sides of the Civil War armies would take time out to enjoy Mr. Brewman's Premium Southern Sweet Tea but eventually the North would begin a campaign to politicize Mr. Brewman's tea as being only for the Southerners.  It was written in Harper’s Weekly that President Abraham Lincoln was overheard to say that he would never be caught drinking that “Southern brew.” The North would stick to their own less flavorful teas.  This would turn out to be a huge blow to Ezekial Brewman as he took pride and joy in seeing people from so many walks of life and opposite sides of the political spectrum coming together to enjoy his tea and the relaxation that would come along with it. Ezekial vowed that he would someday bring his tea to the North again but it was not to be as he would spend much of his time caring for his sick wife, Maribelle, while his tea became a lost family secret.

In Mr. Brewman's latter years he told his sons about the family tea that he had made for people in his heyday and his children decided to try and bring his tea back.  In the South it was a huge hit.  People loved the refreshing flavor of the tea and it's distinct Southern flair.  Once again it became synonymous with the South but the North had turned itself over to a decidedly different fair.  The North had been caught up in the "snooty night-time teas...tasted like skunky water to me," said Junior.  It was just too hard to get people to get past their prejudgments of the tea and the South.  "We liked it a little sweeter with more flavor.  We liked it that you could drink Dad's tea with a Bar-B-Que or fishing or lounging."

We agree but even today, the remnants of this split in United States tea history, is still evident.  Go to a restaurant in the North or the far West and ask for a Sweet Tea.  Dollars to Donuts they tell you, "The sugar is on the table."  Makes you crave the good Southern stuff don’t it?  So finally with this Internet invention the South is just a mail carrier away.  Our Mr. Brewman's Premium Southern Sweet Tea™ (and it's lite version) works best in a Iced-tea maker with good fresh water or boiled in 1.5 cups of water (which is then finished off with 3 cups of cold water to make a quart).  Why?  Well, while we know it's best to let tea sit in the sun for a day to brew, who has time to wait for that?  When we want our Southern Sweet Tea, we dont want it tomorra! 

So order some Mr. Brewman's Premium Southern Sweet Tea™ and order some for a friend because they might not know what they've been missing until you show ‘em what good Premium Sweet Tea tastes like.  It'll be the best Premium Sweet Tea you've ever had and Mr. Brewman and his big heart will be smiling down at you. So take a sip and smile back.
