A family-owned and locally owned iced tea drive-thru is opening its second New Braunfels location soon.
Texan Tea is anticipated to open its second location at 2286 Alyssa Way, Ste. 101, in September, owner Jodi Zellner said in an email to Community Impact.
"Opening a second Texan Tea location is incredibly exciting, but it's also a lot of hard work behind the scenes. Every permit, late night and weekend spent preparing is worth it because we believe in this community and are proud to continue growing here," Zellner said in the email. "We didn't open Texan Tea just to sell tea, we opened it because we wanted another way to be involved in the town we love."
A family affair
Zellner said Texan Tea is "truly a family business." Her husband, Deryck, and their kids, Quinn and Owyn, are all involved in the business.
"You might see the kids carrying boxes, pulling weeds, stocking supplies or helping wherever they're needed," Zellner said the email. "We're also fortunate to have both of our families jump in when needed, including my mom and dad and Deryck's mom."
Zellner's full-time career is owning and leading NBTX Marketing. She is a New Braunfels High School graduate and Southwest Texas State University Alumna, and her husband owns Zellner Electric.
"We've built our lives and businesses here, and New Braunfels has always been home," she said.
What they offer
Texan Tea sells sweet and unsweet iced tea in various flavors, including raspberry, peach, coconut, mint, strawberry and banana. The business also sells flavored water and lemonade.
