Support Local. We Do: Spoon Farms

Our South End location is now offering a new product and it is delicious: Spoon Farms' Herbal Ginger Tea! It's a unique blend of fruit extracts, herbs, tea and ginger root and it is only the first product from this company with many more planned! Spoon Farms is the creation of Jason Witherspoon, together with his wife. They started the company here in Charlotte in 2010. Jason graduated from Auburn University in 2005 with a Bachelors in Industrial Design. Upon being laid off from an architectural firm in 2008, Jason began cutting hair at Farrer's Barber Shop and is still at it today. Jason was inspired to start Spoon Farms after suffering from digestive problems. He wanted to heal himself naturally and so began brewing batches of tea for himself. According to Jason the first batches were "horrible and disgusting," but they made him feel much better! He then began working on the taste and was fortunate enough to meet someone in the beverage industry who shared his knowledge with him. In the future, they plan to introduce new flavors of tea, including: Strawberry Ginger, Ginger Lemonade, Apple Ginger Lemonade and Ginger Ale, as well as, children's snacks and granola. Until then, we have the Herbal Ginger Tea to enjoy! It's great hot or cold and features fresh juiced lemons, apples and oranges, fresh mint leaves and fresh ginger root! Available at our South End location! Enjoy!

  1. I would have to say that this is possibly the best tea I have ever tasted! I have tried it both ice cold in the heat of the day, and hot when I fill a cold coming on.
    I highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a few bottles for you and your family.
