Lipton

It’s at work and it’s free so I thought I’d at least try it…

This tea came in one of those pyramid infusers but it doesn’t look like they’re the biodegradable kind (boo, hiss). I checked the list of ingredients for anything weird… no hibiscus, yay! But why do they need to put modified corn starch in here? that’s just weird.

As for the tea itself, it isn’t as dreadful as I was thinking it might be. It’s a blend of white and green teas with blueberry and pomegranate pieces. The pom is adding a bit of tartness but I’m glad it isn’t too tart. I’m getting more pom than blueberry and the tea flavor itself is somewhat obscured.

I don’t think I will run out and buy any for my personal collection but it certainly seems as good as anything I’ve had from Republic of Tea, for example.

I thought I would like it better after I poured it over ice but I think I preferred it hot.

So I’m trying to get rid of these and used about four up last doing cold brew iced tea. This steeped at a little over 48 hours.

Still a very light taste, the peach is not quite as overwhelming. I can’t even taste the mangosteen (possibly not even sure what that tastes like).

Pretty much a “bleh” tea. I had bought these bags when I didn’t know much about tea, so it’s about time to use them up and never think of them again. ;)

I’ve had this in the cabinet for a while, and feel this need to drink everything I can’t give away. It’s alright. I don’t have a super refined palate (yet!), but the mangosteen and peach are pretty indistinguishable, just a light “fruity” flavor.

It’s nice iced. Different than a lot of the green teas you would typically think of having on ice, so it’s good for a change. I get more cranberry than pomegranate from it.

This tea will very quickly become too dark and bitter. It has a full flavour, even with short steeping times. Every piramid bag makes two cups. Don’t steep too long for the best taste.

not the best black tea by far, but acceptable

It’s a nice after dinner tea, but definitely cannot let this steep too long or it gets kinda bitter. And the same goes for letting it cool too much.

This is the tea that started it all for me, so it has a special place in my heart. Sure it might not be the best tea ever, but whenever I smell it, or drink it, it is just “tea” to me.

Well, this was a surprise. I forgot I even had it. I was looking for something to drink with a light supper of steamed potstickers and spotted this.

I did not expect to like it. My experience with green teas has not, overall, recommended me to them But I did enjoy this Lipton! For me the orange and jasmine were much stronger than the passionfruit. I sweetened it lightly and it was just right with the dumplings. I’m going to try another cup with cookies and call it a night.

I had this at a girlfriend’s place tonight. Two steeps, neither of them great, but neither of them terrible. Even with some sugar, it was… unmemorable. I tasted Yunnan, maybe a bit of Keemum.
She said it was an old bag. and, well… it was bagged. and a dusty one to.

This tea is fantastic! I love the spice/mint combination… I cant get enough… :) I keep the tea bag in the whole time I’m drinking & sometimes even top up (its not as flavorsome the second (or sometimes third) time round but its still very enjoyable!!

Can anyone tell me how much (if any caffeine) it has tho?? I cant find it anywhere on the box??

I grew up drinking Lipton. It’s like family. Due to high BP mom and dad have switched to decaf. Normally I don’t mind. It works with cards and snacks on a Saturday night. Last night though it tasted like latex paint. Just gross. It was probably aggravated by a day of exceptionally good tea.

Denny’s just opened in town. So we abandoned our usual Saturday breakfast spot to try the new place. It was ok. Not sure how two $4 breakfasts turns in to almost $15 by adding a cup of coffee and a cup of tea, oh, and some toast. Still seems like too much. Maybe it is because I paid $1.80 for one cup with no offer of refills, and it was a horrible cup of hot tea. I drink this iced at Mom and Dad’s and it is passable. Hot it tasted fishy and just not good. Looking forward to my usual Mother Parkers hot tea next week at Steak ’N Shake.

Sunday evening cards with mom and dad. This is what they always serve over ice. Yes, the Tetley I use at home is light years better and I realize this wouldn’t even pass for tea with most of y’all but its family and you don’t trash family.

I daresay this is the fastest I’ve ever finished up a tisane, although this isn’t a particularly big box of them. While I’m hesitant to try any of Lipton’s real teas, I figured they couldn’t screw up mint — and I was right!

This is a nice blend of flavors: minty but not overpowering, with a touch of fruitness that really complements the mint. There’s a notable taste of chamomile as well, and that’s where it could be much improved in my book — it’s just intruding on the flavors that are actually good!

Overall, though, it’s hard to go wrong with mint + fruit in my book. Tasty!
