The flavor is described as the "essence of Tennessee," a nod to Wallen's roots growing up in eastern Tennessee.
“Ryl Tea and I worked hard to capture the sweet tea taste I remember from my childhood,” Wallen wrote in his caption. “This tea takes me right back to my Mamaw’s front porch on a hot summer’s day.”

Wallen, 30, rose to fame on NBC's The Voice back in 2014 and has since emerged as one of the biggest stars in modern country music. His third album "One Thing At A Time" is currently enjoying its 11th straight week atop the Billboard 200 list, headlined by the song "Last Night" in its seventh week leading the Billboard Hit 100 list.
Despite his massive commerical success, Wallen's career hasn't been without controvery. In 2021, Wallen's contract with production label, Big Loud Records, was suspended indefinitely following the release of a video showing him using a racial slur. More recently, he cancelled his April show in Oxford, Mississippi, minutes before he was supposed to take the stage, claiming he lost his voice.
His next show for his global tour is tomorrow in Houston.
