This tea is weird. If I stew it in a water that was heated in the microwave, it tastes very good. Kind of like green tea with some sort of candy. Very nice.
But then, stewing it in a water heated by other methods, even if I’d try to do it exactly as I did the last time when I got a good cup… it fails, and it tastes horrible.
I’ll give the points for the taste that it has when it turns out well.
Blech! You call this tea?! This is a sad impression of what could be. (The rhyme was unintentional, sorry).
Forget Lipton and go with Twinings. How could a British tea company get this so wrong? Lipton’s weak, bland flavor just can’t compete with high quality teas. But if you’re in a bind and it’s the only choice so you can get your tea fix, it’ll do.
I mean, come on! It doesn’t even have a name! Hot tea?! That’s not a name! That could be anything!
Preparation
I only drink this in places like restaurants where this is my only tea option (although lucky I can almost always get green tea- even if it is cheap green dust). It’s ok w/ lemon and/or lime. Certainly better than plain water.
Oh no. Well except for possibly for when you’re sick to add ginger and lemon to… those cases just call for something that tastes like tea to serve as a base. But then again I think there are better cheap brands for even that.
You really hit on so many points that also bug me! Twinings is cheap and reliable for a good cuppa, so I don’t understand why restaurants don’t dump the Lipton and carry Twinings. And nothing makes me want to punch people more than when I’m at a restaruant and inquire what type of tea they serve and they just reply “um, hot tea.” THAT NARROWS NOTHING DOWN! But of course they really mean to say Lipton.
Its OK, Not Great, Not Bad. I get some after tastes that are not bad. I would really like more caramel flavor.. The TEA flavoring is not there much. So what i get is a hodge podge of flavors that is ok but not good as tea. sounds silly
Preparation
This is a light black tea that is great for an everyday tea. To reviewers who say it’s bland and they prefer something stronger, I would say they’re absolutely correct, they probably prefer something stronger. however, compared to other tea’s in it’s class it holds up about as you’d expect, maybe better.
Preparation
One of my favourite teas. I got it as loose tea from friends in France. It is the brightest organge flavoured black tea. I don’t know why every other tea blender tends to add spices like cinnamon when they add orange to their tea- it then becomes a ‘winter’ tea. With just orange as Liptons do it – its a lovely all year tea.
Preparation
The product I bought was probably the same, but the packaging was a little different. The large white letters on the front of the box say “Melon Citrus Mint,” not “Melon Citrus Mint Infusion.” There was no French caption following the English words.
Overall, a fairly good herbal tea, fairly well balanced. The mint is subtly noticeable, definitely not overpowering. Unlike many fruit teas, it is not sour.
I think Lipton has done something wrong in marketing this tea, though. The ingredients list is long, but one of the most present ingredients is chamomile. Lipton does not clearly indicate that the tea has chamomile in the name of the tea or on the packaging. Chamomile really is a soporific, and Lipton should do more to make consumers aware that the tea has chamomile, so that no one takes chamomile without wanting to.
Preparation
I’ve been one entire summer to drink this tea in cans. I bought almost two packs of twelve cans a week. It was a drug, litterally. For the ones who want to try it, you won’t regret it. But I got enough of it and I saw a big difference in my bank account thereafter. It’s totally addictive!
..This is a white tea? I examined the tea bag before I steeped and saw a whole lotta stuff in it, but nothing that struck me as looking like anything but Japanese green (it looks like cut grass). So maybe there was some sort of white tea ritual where they have workers wave small bushels of white over the tea as it’s being mixed? Sort of like a sage burning ceremony?
This tea might as well be herbal! Ugh! I’d rate it lower, but the taste is actually pretty good so I’ll cut it a little slack (but I’m not happy).
The tea tea would make excellent potpourri though, it smells very nice.
Preparation
Blegh! Fake berry flavor alert!! I cold brewed three teabags or abt. 8 hrs. DH & I each choked down a glass and then poured with pitcher out. Maybe if you drink Lipton’s RTD flavored bottles of tea you might like this, but we both found the berry flavor overpoweringly strong and underwhelmingly artificial.
