About Delta Blues
Nashvillian native, Leslie McKinney Bass, who at the time, was living in Chicago, founded Delta Blues Iced Tea Company in 2001. Upon hearing a rendition of blues notes gliding from a garage combo over city rooftops, she longed for Tennessee. Missing her family’s recipes, devoted to Creole and southern cuisine, she returned to harmonica lessons as a way to connect southbound. But it wasn’t enough, so she recreated that ‘Sweet Sip of Southern Hospitality’. Though making tea punch for several farmers’markets in Chi-town was as tough as “puttin’ socks on a rooster” it was well received. She decided to market it year round.
