In 1904 the United States was ready for the world to see her development at teh St Louis World's fair.
Trade exhibitors from around the world brought their products to America's first St. Louis World's Fair.
One merchant was Richard Blechynden, and he owned a tea plantation.. He had planned to give away free samples of hot tea to the visitors at the fair, then a heat wave hit, and no one was interested in hot tea.
So that he did not waste the tea, this merchant added ice into the brewed tea and served the first 'iced tea'. It was a great success.
