Grandma Alice Wicks, at the age of 18, established a sweet tea in 1943 which
became well known throughout churches and venues in the Metro Louisville
Area.  It was during various church events that this unique, distinct, flavorful tea became a buzz throughout the Louisville, KY community.
As the demand for Grandma Alice’s tea quickly began to rise, it was then that she took her grandson, Ontra Caples, under her wing and began to teach him the secret recipe.  In 1993, the recipe was handed down to Ontra with Grandma Alice’s blessing, and the birth of Down Home Tea was complete.
Down Home Tea, America’s up and coming #1 Tea Company, manufactured by Flavorman, The Beverage Architect. Located in the Louisville Metro Area, at a store near you!
