Black Tea Company

By Wayne A. Young

On the bottle it reads: "It's in The Taste."

Grandad’s Sweet Tea really does taste good. I had a bottle (Original Flavor) while in the Motor City. Grandad’s is readily available in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Florida and online.

The added plus to its taste is that Grandad’s is made and distributed by a Black-owned company and gives people a chance to practice EE (Empowerment Experiment). “The American dream is dead until people of all races are able to shop Black, and create jobs and opportunities in Black America!” says Maggie Anderson of the Empowerment Experiment in the September 30 to October 13, 2010 Snippets and in an article in the upcoming print issue.

I'll bet you a bunch of these people don't have passports," said Bloomberg, according to the Wall Street Journal. "We're about to start a trade war with China if we're not careful here, only because nobody knows where China is. Nobody knows what China is."
