I went to Ikea today with my parents. We stopped for a quick 99 cent breakfast and I ordered a 75 cent tea. Their only option was this and it tasted good. Not sure why Lipton gets such a bad rating. It’s everything I expected. Simply bagged black tea. Should we expect more? 75 cent unlimited refill tea should taste this way :)
Seeing that Della Terra has their Eight Candles tea 40% off today has me ordering more. That tea rocks my socks.
Time to kick back and watch It’s a Wonderful Life.
This is a fruity infusion that tastes mostly of hibiscus. It is bright, tart, and refreshing. I have trouble picking out particular blackberry flavor (mostly generally fruitiness) and maybe the vanilla is present as just touch of creaminess. I like hibiscus, but there is a slight off-taste that I don’t like.
Preparation
Just so Spencer doesn’t feel so alone :)
It’s not the worst I’ve had but it’s still up there.
But we’ve all had Lipton at some point, right?
It has it’s place :)
I wouldn’t want to ruin a perfectly good new-to-me-sample by pairing it with my lunch which is Malaysian Lodeh – Vegetable & Tofu Medley simmered in spiced coconut milk. It’s spicy and punchy and I wouldn’t have been able to give the new-to-me-tea a fair shake by pairing it, ya know?
When I went to Las Vegas earlier this year I remember visiting Denny’s and asking for tea and being served this tea. I was given two teabags but only used one, I still have the other bag. It was harsh and bitter but it did it’s job :)
Haha, thanks! I appreciate the company in my drinking of junk tea. That tea probably does not taste bad with the food!
On the bright side, this was my last bag of Yellow Label. No more in my life!
I just asked from a friend to taste this tea. She gave me a couple of bags, and I understood why… this tea tastes likes grass. I had to put lots of lemon/calamansi to be able to drink this tea.
Can be found on any supermarket and really cheap. I guess you get what you pay for.
Preparation
What sold me on this tea is what sold me on most teas: I held the box to my nose and lightly squeezed it to smell the aroma seeping out. And this one smelled of yummy desserts. Sold! It’s simple as teas are concerned, but is an excellent dessert tea. I even brewed a couple bags in a cup of water and used it for my oatmeal instead of plain water or milk and it was delightful.
I liked this tea but not quite as much as the regular orange pekoe Lipton. My first encounter was on a recent visit to Ghana West Africa. In Kumasi it seems to be the standard tea drink (but I was only there a couple of weeks). It tends to be too strong if steeped the usual time as the regular orange pekoe that I can tell. I liked it enough to bring a box of it back to the US.
