Something BIG is brewing in Columbia. For generations, fruit tea has been steeped into the story of our community. It’s been shared around family tables, poured in local restaurants, and served with Southern hospitality that has made Columbia unlike anywhere else.

Fruit Teaser is a one-year-only community celebration to proclaim itself as the Birthplace of Southern Fruit Tea and celebrating the drink that has become part of our identity! This special kickoff event is all about our residents—bringing everyone together to sip, celebrate, and show the world what makes Columbia’s fruit tea culture so unique.
