Brand Story:

Jinx Tea is a premium cold-brewed sparkling craft beverage. There is absolutely nothing like it – it will change your palate for iced tea! The Jinx Tea team uses only the highest quality hand-picked tea from China which ensures a superior, purer taste. This exceptional tea, when blended with artisan aromatics, fruit and pure cane sugar, results in a distinct product: flavors and a taste that is bold, unique and out-of-this-world. Jinx tea was concepted by a local Minnesotan, Jennifer Wills. It all started when she had a craving for an interesting, flavorful cold tea. It didn’t exist in the market, so she was inspired to experiment in her own kitchen, tapped into her culinary training, and Jinx Tea was born! The company is owned and operated by Jennifer and her family, Chris Eilers and Sam Eilers. All flavors are available at both Wedge Co-op locations and about 150 other locations around Minnesota.
