Red Diamond, since it's founding in 1906, was based in Birmingham, Alabama, until 11 years ago when they moved about 15 miles to the burbs.

It's Deep South tea at its finest.



Red Diamond tea is poetry in liquid form. It has a crisp, clean, refreshing taste that stimulates the senses and refreshes you.



Reily Food started in 1902 in Monroe, moving later to New Orleans, didn't really get into the iced tea business until 1932. They didn't know what ice tea was until then because they weren't real Southerners but were from Louisiana.

It's not classic Southern ice tea, but more an amalgamation of swamp gas flavorings and sickeningly sweet taste even with a very little amount of sugar added. The bags burst with even the slightest agitation also, which is bad for a tea bag.

There are many, many, many more things about Red Diamond that make it much better than Luzianne but, for now, this encapsulation will have to suffice.

Being from Birmingham, I do love my Red Diamond. Tetley is a close second. I DO NOT purchase or consume ANY pre-packaged gallon tea, nor do I drink tea that has been in the fridge overnight. Don’t judge me you whiskey/cigar snobs, just accept it.

Does Red Diamond support Black Lives Matter?

Red Diamond Tea is to Luzianne as Mobile Mardi Gras is to New Orleans Mardi Gras.

Which is to say, a flaccid & pale imitation.

Red diamond tastes like it has been sweetened with cheap sugar imitations. Luzianne all day over red diamond.

I’ll admit it. The best is Red Diamond tea and Barber’s milk.

Not together mind you.

My buddies and I will not watch football on Sunday mornings without multiple gallons of Red Diamond on hand, or “RD” as we call it. No other tea is acceptable.

Note: The RD that is consumed on Sunday mornings is usually premade gallons due to the complications of logistics, yet still delightful and refreshing as frick. You come by my house though, fresh brewed RD is the only tea you will find.

This might be the worst take in the history of takes. Luzianne is the liquid of the gods. Red Diamond is like drinking bath water that someone took a shite in.

I don’t think they stock the shelves with a Red Diamond in the stores in New Orleans. I’ll have to try it some day.

That Luzianne image you used is really old and no longer in use. You did it intentionally, I’m sure!

What are you, some industrial sabotaging competitor Cogsworth Cogs type throwing a wrench in the works at Spacely Sprockets?
