Bluegrass Roots | "Sweeten The Tea" Premium Southern Mason Jar Tee

Well, honey, around here we have a sayin’: if you can’t say something nice, just take a long sip of something sweet. Our Bluegrass Roots signature "Sweeten The Tea" t-shirt is a tribute to that classic Southern grace—and a gentle reminder to mind your own biscuits while you’re at it. Featuring a hand-illustrated mason jar overflowing with iced tea, citrus, and a crown of wild-grown flora, this tee is a little slice of Southern hospitality you can wear on your sleeve.

This one comes from Bluegrass Gifts, designed right here in Kentucky.

Whether you’re browsin' a sunny farmers market, catchin' a breeze on a wrap-around porch, or headin' into the city for a Saturday night, this shirt brings that "already-loved" vintage feel to your wardrobe from the very first wear.

Why This’ll Be Your New Favorite Go-To

Breathable & Blissful: We’ve upgraded to the Gildan 64000 Softstyle—and y'all, it is incredibly soft. It’s made with 100% ring-spun cotton that’s light as a feather, making it the perfect choice for those humid Southern afternoons when you want to stay cool and look darlin'.

Style It Your Way: This modern unisex fit is as versatile as a mason jar. It’s thin and soft enough to tuck into your favorite high-waisted denim, tie in a side-knot for a boho look, or layer under a light jacket for those crisp country evenings.

Built for the Long Haul: Don't let that "soft-to-the-touch" feel fool you; we use high-durability printing right here in our workshop. The design is made to last without cracking or peeling when the gossip gets heated. Plus, with no side seams and a reinforced collar, it stays looking polished from sunup to sundown.

Southern Heart, Ethical Start: We’re proud to use ethically grown and harvested US cotton. It’s a "mind your own" philosophy that extends to the land—pure quality you can feel good about wearing to the next Sunday social or family BBQ.

Free Shipping on Us: That’s right, sugar! We take care of the shipping costs so the price you see is the price you pay—no surprises at checkout.

The Nitty-Gritty

• The Feel: 100% Ring-Spun US Cotton (Heathers include a touch of poly for a little extra stretch).

• The Weight: A light 4.5 oz/yd²—airy, comfy, and never bulky.

• The Look: Classic crew neck with a clean, retail-style fit.

• The Comfort: We used a pearlized, tear-away label, so there’s no itchy tag botherin' you while you're mindin' your business.

• A Little Note: Because we use high-quality, natural fibers, our White shirts have a soft, natural glow rather than a harsh, bleached look.
