Moonshine Original Sweet Tea Moonshine Sweet Tea started in 1946 out in the Texas Hill Country, in the small town of Mason, Texas, by Leo Cobb Porter: the great grand-dad of Joele Porter. MoonshineÕs style of bold sweet tea uses the same secret family recipe that Leo Cobb Porter perfected in his own home, almost 70 years ago. Moonshine is pure and simple: crafted with hand-picked black tea leaves, clean filtered water and 100% pure cane sugar. One glass of Moonshine Sweet Tea contains almost half the sugar than your average a carbonated soda. If you already drink it, you know how good it is. If you havenÕt had it, please try it. This is tea the way it should be.
