Lipton

I bought this tea to try it out when it was on sale. I didnt really care for it very much. I prefer normal green tea. I dont think I will buy this tea again.

Well, if I can’t find my apple chamomile at the store, this is a plausible substitute. Enough sweet fruit to tone down the chamomile; hopefully enough chamomile to tone down the tension after a long day.

No deceased Chinese mafia dogs for me tonight, please. (They must have been really mini Shih Tzus. Don’t mind me, just see previous tasting note.)

Therefore, and since I was one bag shy of a sipdown anyway, I made this to relax with. Hot bath, pumpkin pie, comfort reading.

For newbies and cheapsters, this really is one of the better Lipton pyramid-bag offerings; good enough to buy a repeat someday. Enough pineapple to overshadow the chamomile flavor. Isn’t it funny that chamomile is perceived as a light, restful, delicate herbal, but it’s so strong you just can’t shout the flavor down much?

Sleep tight. Don’t let the shar pei’s bite.

Discovered a small design flaw in the pyramid bag today … when you stand around talking to friends while you wait for the machine to warm your water and spin it around by the tag, it comes loose kind of easily and goes flying across the room.

(Even slightly damaged, was probably the best cup of anything I’ve had for days.)

Pawed through the collection to consolidate stray bags for work and travel and popped a sachet in a cup while I was sorting. Poor Lipton gets a bad rap way too often. They’ve put together a really mild and tasty evening tisane. I drink chamomile but don’t get excited about it; the pineapple is sweet and strong enough to shout it down a little.

Nice end-o’-day treat following a little too much snacking at work and a little too much hubby-made pizza at home (if you haven’t tried Pastorelli pizza sauce and like spicky-kicky tomato, it’s worth the search).

Sweet, a little thick, and not picky in personality. Bag stays in the cup. In retrospect, should have had the pizza chef save me the juice out of the pineapple bits to add.

Husband saw this and brought it home today. I have been consistently pleased with anything Lipton has put out in their premium pyramid bag line, and this is no exception. The pineapple is strong and sweet; a little syrupy and a nice complement to really mild chamomile that stays in the background.

Leaving the bag in the mug doesn’t hurt a thing. My 81-year-old dad, headed this way from the farm anyway, thoughtfully filled the trunk of his car with a few of the things we had in storage that he could comfortably lift. One of them was a box of teapots and service items. It is a pleasure to drink from a mug that isn’t chipped or have an insurance company logo on it. If you’re doing that tonight, consider yourself blessed.

Among the odds and ends available at a conference I’m attending this week. Rooms are so cold I’ve had to chug so much hot liquid I switched to decaf. Reminded me a little of Constant Comment with less spicy bite.

Have some of these and had no clue what to do with them. Decided to have a yakisoba chicken noodle bowl so I steeped 2 bags (because there’s 2 servings per bowl) first, let it cool, then added it to the bowl before microwaving instead of plain water. Definitely gives it a nice flavor (along w/ the 2tsp of wing sauce I added). Now if there would only be more veggies and actual chicken in it. The other half of the bowl will be my dinner.

I grew up drinking Lipton black tea, so it’s nostalgic if nothing else. But, it’s my standard, cheap black tea. Also, it reminds me of my preferred bike touring meal at diners; salad, blt, fries and a hot cup of black tea. mmm.

Hmm. I’m a sucker for flavoured teas, and always look for something interesting (and inexpensive!) to try at the grocery store. I’ve been treating myself to some better teas lately though, so I knew there was a chance that a cheaper one like this might not do the trick anymore.
I wasn’t totally disappointed. White tea is a new thing for me, so I don’t know what to expect there, but it kind of reminded me of another cheap green tea (that’s not just me, because it’s labelled as just white but the ingredients list says “white & green tea”).
The smell of mango and peach is definitely present both dry and when steeped, which is a plus.
The flavour was nice – light and clean, with a hint of tropical fruitiness. The fact that there is no actual mango or peach listed in the ingredients is a turn off though! I will try this again, and think it would be interesting to make iced, but this tea is nothing special. I was right, now that I’ve tasted better quality teas, the grocery store ones just aren’t comparable.
