“Texas Tea” is an old slang phrase that has taken on many meanings. No one is quite sure where it was first used, although many people wrong assume it was coined by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggsin their famous theme song for the “Beverly Hillbillies” television show. However, though most people may have learned the association between “Texas Tea” and oil from the show, the phrase was inuse well before the 1960s.

For example a company started in the 1870s was named the Texas Tea Company, and among other crops like coffee and raisin grapes it cultivated tea. Texas Tea was a popular vintage and uppersociety often held Texas Tea parties in their tea gardens. Given that the Texas oil boom began in 1901, it should be no wonder that the phrase “Texas Tea” evolved into a euphemism for oil. Theinflux of Texas oil to the petroleum market was so profound that according to one source the price of petroleum per gallon dropped from 99 cents to 13 cents within a matter of years.

Texas Tea has been used in the name of an oil company, a motor oil, and in a 1940 patent application in reference to drilling gear head design. The long association of “texas tea” with oil cannotbe doubted and should be accepted as predating the 1960s television show that popularized the winsome metaphor. The historical associations aside, Texas and oil are also well-matched in drama andfiction. The 1956 movie “Giant” starred Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Dean as Texas as a rancher family competing with a wildcat oil man. The television show “Dallas” followed theadventures of the Ewing family who were rich because of oil and cattle.

In the year 2000 International Game Technology (IGT) released a slot game called Texas Tea that has remained popular through the years. It featured a cartoon character, Texas Ted, and hisarmadillo companion. The game uses all the most well-known tropes of about Texas oil magnates: he is a rascally old guy with a cowboy hat, a cigar, a deep Texas drawl, and a huge cigar. He alsodrives a blue convertible with a longhorn ornament on the front end, owns his own jet airplane, and he speaks in eccentricities.
