Funding Successful

Why should specialty teas be just for hot tea drinkers? We don't think it should be. Just $3 gets you some great iced tea.
Backers: 790
Average Pledge Per Backer: $23

Funded: $17,867 of $500
Dates: Oct 31st -> Nov 30th (31 days)

Thank you for your help! The Kicktraq gnomes will get to work on your suggestions very soon.

Please keep in mind not all suggestions may be used, and repeated re-submissions may result in being rejected automatically (and we don't want that to happen).

If you have any questions, have a good idea for a tag, or a more in-depth suggestion - please feel free to let us know!

Ok
Hrm... something went wrong.
Hey, bad things happen to the best of us. Don't worry, the gnomes have been dispatched. Maybe try again in a little while.

Ok

This is not an iced tea (though it could certainly be prepared that way, it's just a loose tea blend as opposed to a teabag tea.  It's also a honeybush blend.  Honeybush is a caffeine-free tisane from Africa.  Anyway, I just thought since you guys... (Read More)
