The NATC is the only independent and professionally judged iced tea competition in North America.
The North American Tea Championship was held in May 2012 in Montebello, Calif. at the Wilbur Curtis headquarters, for the evaluation of iced teas. The Championship evaluated premium iced teas in the Ready-to-Drink, Food Service and Instant tea categories. In recognition of its superior evaluation, the World Tea Media presented the First Place North American Tea Championship Award to MaryAnna's Tea LLC for its MaryAnna's - Summer Sweet Tea. MaryAnna's Summer Sweet Tea won first place in the Ready-to-Drink - Flavored Black tea category of the 2012 iced tea class. To choose the recipient of this award, the judging panel of professional cuppers assessed each submission through blind organoleptic analysis of the following characteristics: MaryAnna's Tea owner, Mary Ann Rollano, who started her own bottled iced tea brand in 2008, said, "It's wonderful to get positive feedback from customers about your tea, but being honored by industry experts brings it to a whole new level. A competition like this not only gives us recognition for winning first place in our iced tea category, but it also acknowledges our ability to create the finest bottled iced tea directly brewed from premium tea leaves. I thank the World Tea Media for its efforts in highlighting specialty teas. For a small company like ours to place first among nationally branded bottled iced teas is a real testament to the quality of our product." A complete list of first, second and third place winners of the North American Tea Championship is available at http://www.TeaChampionship.com "Nearly 250 teas were entered into this class of 20 categories and the ratings were close", according to Jie Chen, Competition Manager of the North American Tea Championship. The Iced Tea Class included categories in Ready-to-Drink, Foodservice and Instant.
