The actual tea leaves taste great to me. Did I say great? I meant good. For Lipton. The blueberries are wonderful though. I would like a blueberry Lipton bagel in the near future. I’m not a huge fan of pomegranate, so I’m not going to comment too much on that. There is TONS of licorice in this blend… and if you brew it wrong so help you god you’ll be sipping on black jellybellies. This tea is okay, but I probably won’t buy this specific one very much if ever… though I’ve had worse.
Protip: Brew it a bit hot and it’ll mute those licorice notes.
Preparation
I was quite surprised with this one. I received this tea as a gift (not for a birthday, or other special occasion, but because my family knows my deep appreciation for tea). I usually do not like Lipton, and try to stay away from it. As for this tea, I had to try it, and was astonished by its malty flavor. However, this tea contained MANY stems on a stem-to-leaf ratio. This is not close to the best tea I have had, but if I am offered Lipton again, this is the tea I will choose (as it is better than their other teas).
Preparation
Meh, it’s tea. Does a 1/2lb box @ $5.00 compare to David’s Tea for $6.00/50g? Hell no. Is Lipton prepared wrong by 98% of the pseudo tea-drinking population? Yes. Everyone can point out goods and bads about most teas, but on thing is for sure… this tea is a generic taste that cost very little and can be bought at 24/7 stores and gas stations. I think that in the tea world where everyone has become used to cornflowers, oranges, berries, and blooms within their pots… this minimal tea is left out in the cold. It gets a bad wrap, but I’m sure it was a “gateway tea” for many people here.
I’m not all passionate for white tea but I love floral teas so I decided to have a go at this one.
I loved it! So this is one of those teas to alwys have in my cupboard! :) Perfect tea to have at late hours just before being tucked into bed…
Preparation
Bought this on a trip to my local supermarket. They were on sale 2 for $7. I bought this flavor & something else. I’ve already forgotten the other flavor!
I liked it. I liked the smell & there is a good berry flavor. Definitely one I would buy again. I keep a box at work to grab when I am in the mood. I like the smell in my desk drawer from it. It actually overpowers my other teas, but not in a bad way.
