If you’ve ever spent time in Chillicothe, you know something important… This isn’t just a small town. Instead, it’s a hardworking, proud, deeply rooted community. And every June, that pride rolls straight through downtown in one of the most anticipated events of the year—the Kenworth Truck Parade in Chillicothe Ohio.
For decades, Kenworth Truck Company has been a cornerstone of Chillicothe. Because of this, it represents far more than just a manufacturing plant. It’s jobs, families, and generations of skilled workers. It’s also a source of identity for our entire town. You’ll hear people say it all the time: “The world’s best trucks made by the world’s best people.” And here in Chillicothe… they truly mean it.
The Kenworth Truck Parade: A Must-See Event
Every year, people travel from all over the United States to be part of something special. In fact, the Kenworth Truck Parade in Chillicothe Ohio has become a destination event. The parade isn’t just a parade. Instead, it’s:

Why We Created Big Rig Bold Blend
At Tea of Life Apothecary, everything we create has meaning. Because of this, our Big Rig Bold Blend wasn’t just made… it was inspired. By people rising early mornings before sunrise, by long shifts that don’t quit, by hands that build-fix-paint-and drive. By the determination and grit of the people and of this town.
Our blend was built for the ones who “keep going”! This is not your average tea. Instead, it’s an extra high-caffeine tea + coffee fusion designed for those long days. Days when the morning comes WAY TOO EARLY. And for those people who Never slow down!
This bold blend combines:
- Assam black tea
- Coffee
- Roasted chicory
- Smoky Lapsang Souchong
More Than Energy—It’s Performance
Our blend was carefully crafted to support:
- Sustained energy (without constant refills)
- Mental clarity and focus
- Endurance through long days
- Reduced brain fog
At the same time, it provides a smoother, more balanced experience than relying on coffee alone. Like the trucks in the parade—bold, powerful, and unforgettable—this blend delivers a deep, smoky richness. Along warm Spice from cinnamon and ginger, and a clean, refreshing lift from mint and lemongrass. As a result, each cup feels both strong and balanced.
