First, he made iced tea a thing.
Now he's making it the best thing.
Maverick entrepreneur John M. Ferolito co-founded AriZona Iced Tea at a time when soda was king and sugary drinks were a given. Thirty years later, in 2022, he reinvented the category again with the launch of Saint James Iced Tea, representing a new era in all-natural, organic tea. The namesake honors Father James Haggerty, a Brooklyn-based priest who encouraged Ferolito early in his career, giving him the confidence and community to make his dreams a reality.

Quality, Care,
& Sustainability
From the sourcing to the bottling, every element of the company is steeped in high quality and good taste, using methods and materials that are kind to your body and good to the planet.
We import our organic black teas from Assam, India and green tea leaves from Nilgiris, India. We then freshly brew, flavor and co-pack here in the USA.
Why Aluminum?
The switch to aluminum bottles supports sustainability, portability, durability, and temperature!
1. Recyclability: can be reused infinitely without losing its quality.
2. Durability: less likely to shatter like glass or leak making it safe for on the go
3. Lower carbon footprint compared to other materials like plastic and glass
4. Thermal Insulation: colder for longer
5. Highest recycling rate compared to all beverage containers
6. Lightweight: easier to transport
There is a way things are, and a way they could be. We knew there had to be a better way to make the world's most beloved drink. What we dreamt up is not just healthier, more delicious, and more sustainable than what has come before, it's
Iced Tea as It Should Be.
