Milo's Tea Company

Milo's Tea Company was born from a simple philosophy that continues to guide the company today: use high-quality, real ingredients, listen to your customers, and never sacrifice taste. This customer-centric approach originated in 1946 with Milo and Bea Carlton's restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama. After Milo returned from World War II, they opened a hamburger shop where the star of the menu, unexpectedly, became their sweet tea. Customers couldn't get enough of the fresh-brewed, perfectly sweetened beverage, a testament to the Carlton's commitment to quality and flavor. This overwhelming customer demand led to the decision to bottle their famous tea and sell it in local grocery stores, making those beloved 'Milo's Moments' accessible to more people.

Today, as a third-generation, family-owned and women-led business, Milo's remains dedicated to its founding principles. For customers who are increasingly conscious about what they consume, Milo's offers a refreshing alternative to beverages filled with artificial ingredients, colors, and preservatives. The company understands that modern consumers seek transparency and authenticity, which is why their teas and lemonades are made with just a few, simple, all-natural ingredients. This commitment to 'clean label' products resonates with families and individuals looking for beverages that taste like they were made in their own kitchen. Milo's has grown from a local favorite into the #1 refrigerated tea brand in the United States by staying true to its roots and consistently delivering on the promise of a delicious, homemade taste that brings people together. The company's growth is a direct result of listening to its fans and expanding its offerings and availability to meet their desires, ensuring that a refreshing Milo's Moment is never out of reach.
