A Taste of Tradition
In Alabama, some traditions are sipped, not spoken—and Milo’s Tea is one of them. Brewed right here in our home state since 1946, Milo’s has earned its place at the Southern table, one refreshing jug at a time.
You’ll find Milo’s Tea in every Piggly Wiggly Birmingham location, right where it belongs. As a proud member of the Buy Alabama’s Best program, Milo’s represents everything we love to support: local roots, family values, and uncompromising quality.
Founded by Milo and Bea Carlton after WWII, this Alabama original started in Birmingham and is still family-owned today, with headquarters just down the road in Bessemer. At The Pig, we’re proud to call Milo’s not just a partner—but a neighbor.
Brewed in Alabama, Loved Everywhere
Milo’s Tea began in a humble hamburger shop where customers kept asking for more of the tea than the burgers. That overwhelming demand sparked a family business that’s still thriving today.
As Milo’s likes to say:
“We are committed to being a different kind of beverage company—one that is authentic, transparent, and truly connected to our roots here in Alabama.”
That philosophy has helped Milo’s grow from a local favorite to a regional staple, without ever losing touch with the values that built it. Milo’s is still headquartered in Bessemer, employing local families and bottling that unmistakable Alabama taste.
What Sets Milo’s Apart: Real Ingredients, Real Flavor
Sweet tea should be simple—and that’s exactly how Milo’s does it. Each batch is brewed fresh with real tea leaves, filtered water, and pure cane sugar. No preservatives. No added colors. No acids. Just honest, homemade flavor in every sip.
Their cold-brewed, refrigerated process keeps it tasting like you made it yourself. It’s no wonder so many families across Birmingham trust Milo’s as their go-to tea.
Look for their full lineup in stores:
- Sweet Tea
- Unsweet Tea
- Zero Calorie Sweet Tea
- Seasonal flavors (available throughout the year)
As Milo’s puts it:
“We don’t compromise on ingredients, process, or flavor—just like you wouldn’t at home.”
Rooted in Alabama: Supporting Local Jobs and Families
When you choose Milo’s, you’re doing more than buying great tea—you’re investing in Alabama. Milo’s supports hundreds of local jobs through its production, bottling, and distribution right here in the state.
As a Buy Alabama’s Best partner, Milo’s also helps fund charitable efforts across the region, including initiatives that benefit the Children’s Hospital of Alabama. That means every bottle you bring home helps support families, healthcare, and sustainability across the state.
“When you buy Milo’s Tea, you’re not just getting a great product—you’re investing in Alabama families and local businesses.”
A Southern Staple: Milo’s in Everyday Life
Around here, Milo’s is more than a drink—it’s a part of life. It’s what’s served at cookouts, poured at church potlucks, and passed down through generations. In homes across Birmingham and beyond, it’s a refrigerator staple that signals comfort, hospitality, and homegrown taste.
Health-conscious shoppers appreciate the clean label. Longtime fans cherish the consistency. And everyone agrees—it’s not a true Southern meal without a glass of Milo’s on the table.
