This is a nice light “mostly” white tea. The blueberry taste comes through, but not too strong. Some blueberry teas that I have tasted seem fake, but this one tastes more true to the essence of blueberry…if that makes any sense…the blueberries are perfectly balanced with the white and green tea base. I do not taste any other flavors, just white tea and blueberries. Lipton has done a nice job with their pyramid tea bags. Will definitely be purchasing again.
Preparation
It’s actually not bitter!! (All the green teas I’ve ever tried have been bitter.) Hopefully it won’t keep me up all night as green tea often does. Yes I know it’s only 11am, but I’m extremely hypersensitive to caffeine…gah.
But yes, this is quite pleasant to drink. I think it’s the jasmine and passionfruit I’m tasting the most, both of which I’m usually a pretty big fan of.
Preparation
I just had the diet version of this as a pick me up before my next class. It is not very tea-y, but it works.
With the pyramid type tea bag, Lipton is bringing the world of fine teas to the masses. This white tea does not taste like flowers..something I look for in a white tea. The mango and peach flavors are perfectly balanced. The leaves in the bag are large…no dustings here…after 2-3 minute infusion, the once empty looking pyramid is now completely filled with leaves. The smell from this cup reminds one of a summer day. 18 pyramids in the box for $2.00 from my local WalMart. Life just got simple.
Preparation
I was out of town and I drank a lot of this over the weekend. Compared to many other teas it doesn’t hold a candle, but I still prefer it to coffee. Steeping and brewing times I left blank because really…who cares with this one? You drink it because it’s there and that’s all. I give it points for being there when I need my tea fix. That’s all I can say for it.
This one is a classic. The first tea I ever had, though it was decaf back then (mother didn’t want mer 8 year old tea drinking bouncing off the walls I suppose). We use this for everything in my house. Hot, iced, black, lemon, milk with sugar or honey, you name it. When we make a batch of iced tea with this blend, we heat it up in a pot on the stove, often with a few sprigs of fresh mint from the herb garden. If that isn’t available, we’ll add a bag of Peppermint tea to the pot, or Raspberry, or Peach. Usually when we make iced, however, we do use the decaf, because everyone in the house likes to drink it, but not all of us like to be caffeinated that often.
Preparation
I’m rating this as the soft-drink that it is. As a soft-drink, this is great. Very refreshing.
I wouldn’t consider this a soft drink at all. It’s simply bottled presweetened tea. Now their sparkling tea is more soft drinkish, but I’d still qualify that as tea as well.
I have tried sparkling tea before but never from Lipton. It was a Darjeeling tea with lemon sold in Japan. I wouldn’t recommend it.
I know from experience that the tea Lipton sell here in the UK differs greatly from the ice tea they sell in Japan (the British variety being more fruit with hints of tea and the Japanese tea with hints of fruit). I can’t speak of the American variety having never tried it.
The main reason I consider this (or at least, the British version of this) a soft-drink is because it is incredibly sweet and fruity and the only tea it contains is “tea extract” at a fraction of one percent.
Arrghh, tastes horrible. Not even like some tea bag with no taste, this one has taste : a bad one.
Preparation
Well, I tried some teabags which can’t be compared with a real tea but have a nice taste. Besides, sometime, you don’t have the choice and must go with teabags (during holidays for example :). So, yeah I find it useful to rate this. It’s like saying : yeah ok, it’s not “real” tea, but it doesn’t have to taste bad.
