Meet Jackie Ray Robertson

For Jackie Ray Robertson, sweet tea is more than a beverage.

It is a family tradition, built around a recipe that has been passed down through generations.
​
A New Orleans native and Marine Corps veteran, Jackie Ray spent part of his life serving his country. Today, he is sharing another part of his story with the world through a recipe that has been part of his family for generations.
​
Jackie Ray’s Sweet Tea was created to bring that family tradition beyond the family table and into homes, gatherings, celebrations, and everyday moments. Each bottle represents a piece of his heritage, the hospitality he grew up with, and a recipe he believed was simply too special to keep within the family.

A Prayer Over Our Business

Jackie Ray’s Sweet Tea was built with faith, family, and purpose. We place this business, its growth, and the people it serves in God’s hands.

Heavenly Father, We dedicate Jackie Ray's Sweet Tea to You. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will be established," so we place every bottle, every customer, every partnership, marketing effort and every dream into Your hands. As in Psalms 90:17, establish the work of our hands and prosper what You have called us to do. Give us wisdom in every decision, for we trust in You with all our hearts and acknowledge You in all our ways, knowing that You will direct our paths according to Proverbs 3:5-6. Give us favor with distributors, retailers, restaurant owners, buyers, and decision-makers. Let Jackie Ray's Sweet Tea be sold in grocery stores, specialty markets, military commissaries, and online to customers throughout the world. May this business produce abundant and lasting revenue according to Your blessing, for Proverbs 10:22 reminds us that the blessing of the Lord makes us rich and adds no sorrow with it. Teach us to steward every increase with humility and generosity, remembering Deuteronomy 8:18, that it is You who give us the power to create wealth. Let our company be known for excellence and integrity, because a good name is more precious than great riches (Proverbs 22:1). Raise up the right partners, employees, and opportunities in Your perfect timing. Above all, may Jackie Ray’s Sweet Tea light shine before others so they may see our good works and glorify You as it says in Matthew 5:16. Thank you in advance for answering this prayer. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
