Sadie Sips Nutrition, a new loaded tea shop based in downtown Tuscaloosa, will have a soft opening from July 29 to Aug. 16. “My sister attends the University of Alabama, and every time I visited, I found myself craving a loaded tea,” Lewis said. “At that moment, we knew the shop had to be named after her — and that’s how Sadie Sips was born.” Sadie Sips Nutrition will offer a variety of menu items such as traditional loaded tea flavors, speciality tea and a seasonal menu.
