RUSH: Jacksonville, Florida. Hi, Scott. Great to have you on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Kiefer Sutherland mega dittos from your number one listener in Jacksonville, Florida.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I am a frequent customer of Two If By Tea<\/a>, and I have it delivered to my office so I don\u2019t have to deal with it at home. Well, the other day, I\u2019m walking by my secretary and opening my box. She says, “What is that?”<\/p>\n

“This is Two If By Tea.”<\/p>\n

And she goes, “Is that Rush\u2019s tea?”<\/p>\n

I said, “Why, yes, it is. And I really prefer the raspberry with sugar.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>“Can I try one?”<\/p>\n

Well, I was not willing, really, but I said, “Okay, you can have one bottle of Two If By Tea.”<\/p>\n

When I came in this morning, she goes, “What\u2019s the website address to buy it? It\u2019s the best tea I\u2019ve ever had.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow. That\u2019s a wonderful Open Line Friday call! That\u2019s a wonderful Open Line Friday story, Scott. You gave her the correct address, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, TwoIfByTea.com.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, not “Rush.” Just TwoIfByTea.com.<\/p>\n

CALLER: TwoIfByTea.com.<\/p>\n

RUSH: TwoIfByTea.com<\/a>. So one bottle is all it took for her, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s all it took, a bottle of the raspberry. I\u2019ve tried the blueberry; it is great. I haven\u2019t tried the sugar-free yet, but the raspberry is my favorite.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, everybody has their favorite, and raspberry is at the top. Peach, too. They\u2019re all good, and the unsweet — the Plane ‘Ol Tea — that\u2019s new this month. In fact, there it is. I have a bottle right here, and the bottle is cool. It\u2019s me in an airplane for Plane ‘Ol Tea, instead of on the Paul Revere horse. Scott, I appreciate the call. Thanks very much. It is the best tea in the country, folks — and, look, it\u2019s hard for me to say that. I don\u2019t tout my own stuff. I\u2019m not good at it. I really am not good at it.<\/p>\n

Even when I pay myself… You know, I buy Two If By Tea commercials. I pay myself to run these commercials, and still it\u2019s tough to tout. It\u2019s the best iced tea you\u2019ve tasted in this country. There\u2019s no comparison. But I just get… I don\u2019t know. Like, “Buy my book!” or “Buy my coffee mug!” I\u2019m just not good at that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ken in Kingsport, Tennessee. Welcome to Open Line Friday. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, mega dittos from Kingsport, Tennessee. How are you, sir?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very well, sir. Thanks very much for the call.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you very much. I\u2019ve called to discuss the tea, Rush. I want to know something about the tea.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have not tried the tea yet, and I have gone to the Two If By Tea website, and I cannot make up my mind as to which flavor I want. So what I want to discuss with you is, I want to make a request, a request for you to produce a variety pack where I can sample all the wonderful tea flavors in one case, if that\u2019s possible, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We have that, we have a variety. You buy a case of blueberry. You buy a case of raspberry. You buy a case of peach, and you buy a case of regular and a case of unsweetened.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, one man can hold only so much tea.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: (laughing) Yeah, we get this request somewhat frequently. It\u2019s a perfectly reasonable request, except it isn\u2019t bottled that way. It\u2019s packaged right as it comes off the bottling line, the assembly line. It\u2019s shrink-wrapped and it\u2019s all part of the automation process. So this would require a whole ramping up of assembly and packaging that would not be automated since it\u2019s not bottled that way. And that would elevate the cost. But we\u2019re looking at it. We always do. It\u2019s like we came out with the Plane ‘Ol Tea, unsweetened, \u2019cause we\u2019re deluded. I mean, deluged. (laughing) Deluded. I might be that, too. It\u2019s been a long week. I only had an hour of show prep this morning and I feel so inadequate here. I really feel like I\u2019ve let everybody down \u2019cause a bunch of stuff this morning took longer than I thought it would take. <\/p>\n

Anyway, we are deluged with requests here for the Plane ‘Ol Tea. We\u2019re coming up on a year now. So we finally did it, and the same resourcing testing process, taste testing, the same great care and concern went into the label design, and it\u2019s clever. So nothing is ever off the table of possibility, and I appreciate your concern. I would suggest to you, since you don\u2019t know which to buy, you\u2019ve gotta dip your toe in the water somewhere. And you\u2019re gonna laugh at this. Until we came out with a peach and blueberry, the raspberry was my favorite, and I really don\u2019t think you could go wrong. The raspberry, either regular or diet, will knock your socks off, but so will the peach and blueberry. The blueberry is incomparable, and you won\u2019t find that anywhere else. And the blueberry flavored tea is truly something you can\u2019t do yourself. <\/p>\n

You could theoretically brew some tea and squeeze a peach in there, and we don\u2019t do lemon because anybody can add lemon to their tea. Raspberry and blueberry, that requires trained professionals. We have food scientists that concoct these recipes that we taste rigorously and then make our decision. Kathryn and I do this. We\u2019ve hit gold with each one. I would suggest you try the raspberry first. But see, now people that like the blueberry are shouting. Snerdley is shouting blueberry and so forth. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s another alternative you could do using my creative marketing juice here. Assemble a group of friends, and each one of you buy one case, and then swap. Have your own Tea Party. You kill two or three birds with one stone there. You get five people, each buying one case of each flavor, regular or diet, and then you swap \u2019em out. Our tea, here\u2019s the thing. Two If By Tea is a science, and as such, there is no consensus as to which one\u2019s the best. It\u2019s totally, totally up to you. It would be my suggestion until we get around to figuring out the variety pack, or the sample pack. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
