"I am making a product that I want to sell to restauranst and other hospitality establishments. One of the ingredients is instant powdered iced tea. At your suggestion, I contacted Vicony Teas and they actually sell it wholesale.It is a pretty miraculous that you actually identified a source that sells it. I had given up!."
