Stop by anytime day or night and visit Mason- The World's Largest Sweet Tea. Mason lives in historic Downtown Summerville next to Town Hall, 200 South Main Street, Summerville, SC. Follow the signs to find him!
Mason stands over 15 feet tall and can hold up to 2,524 gallons of Sweet Tea- The Champagne of the South.
The Town of Summerville made it's way into the record book by setting the Guinness World Record for the World's Largest (Sweet) Iced Tea on National Iced Tea Day, also known as June 10, 2016.
So what does it take to brew 2,524 gallons of sweet tea? The recording holding tea was brewed using SCE&G Natural Gas, 210 pounds of local tea from the Charleston Tea Plantation, 1,700 pounds of Dixie Crystals- the sugar of the south and a lot of local support.
