Last Steep of the Day
Early Evening Fruity Unwind.
Good Black Tea, with a Strong Mixed Berry Flavor

Peppermint tea is the best when you’re completely stressed out. It’s warming and refreshing at the same time. It’s the ultimate comfort. Three cups and you’re good to face the world. (Based on my experiences.)

My go-to tea at work. It has a bit more caffeine than other teas (or so it seems to me) and is great for the early afternoon.

Very bad even following the suggested brewing instructions this turned out with a bitter and sour berry flavor that was bad enough for me to dump the cup of tea down the drain after a single sip.

A generic mint green tea that does not have anything that impressive to me.

A sweet fruity berry tea with a nice light raspberry taste. Can not really taste the tea but with this one it doesn’t really matter as with Lipton flavored teas chances are you are drinking it for the flavor and not the tea.

Another interesting green tea with a nice fruity mix. Personally this flavored green tea comes off as tasting a bit more like a juice cocktail mix than a typical green tea. But that is perfectly fine with me as that is how I treat these less serious flavored green teas as a lower/zero calorie alternative to juice.

Another easy sipper flavored green tea from Lipton. The lemongrass nicely complements and lightens the ginseng. A light flavor that allows the green tea base to show through which is acceptable but not the best.

A very interesting and good tasting teabag green tea. What impresses me the most of this tea is that it tastes like honey yet the ingredients do not include honey as it is actually a mix of green tea, orange peel, chamomile flowers, licorice root, roasted chicory root, natural flavor (whatever that means) and soy lecithin. While not a traditional tea in any sense this herbal honey blend with a very decent green tea base (or at least I could taste that it was green tea and not bad green tea) is very enjoyable. Better watch out tea snobs because if Lipton keeps it up with more teas like this one it can no longer be used as a synonym for bad tea.

Mom takes these to work- she’s the manager of a retail store that was not left in good condition by the previous manager (hence why she has the job) and isn’t given enough pay roll hours to get everything done so she barely has time to drink tea much less make any- even bagged. I added 2tsp of matcha to this in attempt to make it taste better.

Wow. Still INSANELY sweet. The flavor profile is nice and fresh and sweet (in a good, natural fruity kinda way)- but it’s too over the top. I get really frustrated when sweetener (even a natural and calorie free one like stevia- although that’s the lesser of evils) ruins an otherwise wonderful tea. But that’s just me. If you like sweet teas, consider using these to flavor matchas… not sure how they’d work hot though… may need to experiment w/ that…

Eh, I’m not impressed. The “blackberry” tastes and smells overwhelmingly fake and it’s more like a fruity-berry flavour with some hibiscus thrown in than anything that resembles blackberries (which I love eating). The tea base is bland and close to flavourless; this could almost be a tisane for all the role it plays in this tea.

It’s not a godaweful tea I guess, but not one I’m going to be running out to go buy.

Great peach/mango flavor, but it totally overpowers the white tea (I don’t detect the floral flavor or aroma of the tea.) I keep this at work, it smells so good that people stop by and ask about what smells so delicious and it is inexpensive enough to share with just everyone.

best tea ever!! can’t find it in Fl. any ideas?

Mom’s idea of green tea. I remember I liked it when I first tried it. Tonight I found it bitter, with little tea taste. Very disappointing.

This is the tea that I keep in my desk at work, for those days I forget to bring something else with me. Really, it’s delightful!

It’s a nice, smooth, simple chai with just enough flavour that I’m a bit surprised it’s made by Liptons! Honestly, for a box of tea under $3.00, I was quite impressed.

I finished the last two bags from a swap with Jaime. I’ll definitely be picking some of this up once I go through my bagged tea stash. I love all the fruity goodness in this tea. And it’s one of very few jasmine teas I enjoy. Final Sipdown until I purchase more.

Another tea from a swap with Jaime. Thanks for all the wonderful samples.

This tea is surprisingly enjoyable for the combination of flavors I am tasting. I didn’t know how well passion fruit and jasmine would work together, especially with the green tea in there too, but this works really well. I love how bold and citrusy this cup is. The aroma is more floral than is the taste. This was a great pick for after dinner tonight. Refreshing and relaxing.

This tea is more aftertaste than taste—but I mean that in the best way possible. It’s sweet and peachy and reminds me a little bit of what peach-flavoured Snapple might taste like if you warmed it up. It has a very lovely mango scent and for three dollars a box, it’s one of my go to ‘spare teas to leave at work’.

Awful just nasty sickeningly sweet and has a chemically-sour aftertaste.

I’ve got to replinish my work stash! This is the last bag of this one here, too. Definitely need to get more tea over here…especially since maintenance doesn’t know when they’ll get the heat fixed in our building.

This is my first cuppa since I left my house this morning.

And now I’m off to a two-three hour meeting. Where there probably won’t be tea.
