Lipton

Not a bad flavor at all, reminds me of Apple Cider, very good, but rather seasonal. The cinnamon is tiny bit too much, as it dries your mouth out very subtly, but overall its rather good.

Nothing really too noticeable about it, basically you could dehydrate lemon peels and steep them, and youd get the same taste.

Had at a restaurant yesterday…this is tasting more and more like nothingness…sigh…

BUT…when you’re in a pinch and it’s Hot Tea on a really cold day OR Coke…which I couldn’t stomach…it was Tea…

It was the only option yesterday…backlogging…

This is a delightful tea best served dumped in the Atlantic and forgotten about.

Christmas day, w00t! Merry Christmas, Steepster (even though it’s nearly 1 am here and that’d make it December 26th, but who’s counting?!)!

LOTS of tea given to me as presents today! My TeaGschwendner order and Harney & Sons order were sitting under my tree, wrapped by my mom. And the boyfriend suprised me with a bunch of stuff, including the Art of Tea Dessert sampler I was eyeing in the Steepster Select a few days ago! YAY! Can I say yay again? YAY! Super-over-abundance of tea.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to drink a lot today at all, since I was out for most of the day. But I did manage to have some of this peppermint during dessert time at my aunt’s house. Honestly, this tasted pretty much like nothing. No flavor whatsoever. I could have cared less, though, because I was eating my mom’s famous apricot tarts and my aunt’s walnut tarts, so it really didn’t make a difference WHAT I was drinking.

But much Christmas happiness overall!

Goodmorning Steepsterites, and merry christmas to those of you who celebrate.

This year I got a tea-related present. A set of a mug, a small box of biscuits, a small tin with five teabags of green tea and a tea measuring spoon. I can’t wait until I get home on sunday so I can try it out. (If I can figure out what brand it’s supposed to be)

Anyway, this is a backlog from last night after the present opening was over. Over here in Denmark we are so backwards and impatient that we open our presents on the 24th in the evening. My parents have a sampler pack and one was just picked at random.

Nothing special really. Lipton’s lemony tasting Earl Grey with some jasmine, I think, thrown in. I can’t check, but it tasted like jasmine to me, so that’s what I think it was. Drinkable although somewhat perfumed.

My girlfriend had some of this tea, the smell is fairly enticing but I felt the berry taste was much too strong and it tasted more of hot juice than tea, I like the pyramid idea although this is the only one I’ve tried

Blargh! This tea is nasty! It so sour and not in a “you cheated and added hibiscus” way, more like “let’s make this as unpalatable as possible” way. I can’t even call this tea ‘tart’ as that implies that it has a bit of fruity-sweetness to it. Which is doesn’t. It starts off sour and then it gets an almost salty-savory taste in the mouth. The end is curiously bland and tasteless.

TEA FAIL, Lipton!!!

a nice black tea by lipton, with caramel flavor. not too sweet, not too dark. really, a nice blend of flavors here. a good pick me up black tea, with just enough sweetness.

I think this comic pretty much sums this tea up: http://wondermark.com/557/

Had this at a hospital tonight- only choice, but glad that I at least had a choice besides coffee. It was a tea bag (not loose like the picture) and not bad considering that it’s cheap and generic. For basic black tea it seems to be fine- I drank if straight and it tasted pretty good! My mom has been drinking Lipton tea for as long as I can remember, so I do have a “warm fuzzy” about this tea. :)

Got this on the way to class. Tea was much needed to combat the disgusting weather NJ is having today. Ick!

They were out of my beloved darjeeling this morning, but this is a fine substitute! I am looking forward to it being the weekend again cause that means more tea!!!

I like this tea a lot. I usually don’t like Lipton that much. I find it kind of bland but I really like the combination of spices in this tea.

I will only drink Lipton if I have no other choice. It’s sour and has a lingering astringency that turns me off. It would probably be ok as an iced tea with lots of sugar and lemon, but as a hot tea it’s a last resort.

Last night the husband was tired and went to bed a bit early so I took the newspaper into bed to read a bit. I wanted a cup of tea to take with me and it was cold in the apartment so I wanted tea quickly so I could get under the covers. So I made this bagged Orange, Passionfruit, and Jasmine Green. It was a decent enough cup, though slightly bitter. I could taste a bit of orange, jasmine, and green tea but not the passionfruit.

White ceramic Mepkin Abbey mug. 1 bag.

This is what I drank for several years before being exposed to looseleaf tea.

Prepared without milk, it is harsh to the point of being almost undrinkable. If I let it get into the side of my mouth under my tongue, it makes me have a horrible puckering feeling there. Like… sour dirt. If it’s steeped for more than 3 minutes or so, I feel like it’s damaging my esophagus as it’s going down.

Prepared with milk, it’s drinkable but still harsh and not particularly flavorful. But, if it were the only black tea in the world, I’d drink it often (with milk). Still beats out a lot of non-tea drinks.

Mightaswell just suck on a hot lemon…pucker up!

maybe i steeped too long (the box says 4-5 minutes) because it was not what i was expecting. the flavor was a bit too minty for me, i was expecting more of a berry. i am looking at the ingredients now and see that there is licorice root and cinnamon. that may also be why. ill give it another go before i throw it out but not for a while!

So I was bored, and I just dug through the annals of my family kitchen cabinet and pulled this out of nowhere. I was morbidly curious since I haven’t actually tried any of this before. I didn’t even realize it was an herbal until I put it in my cup.

What color did you think this one would brew up? It was a nice dark orange color, and it actually has an orange-y scent. To tell the truth, I was fairly surprised.

And the taste? I can’t say it’s really all that horrible. Actually, it kind of tastes like hot Tang. Tang is one of those beverages that is kind of gross but endlessly drinkable, at least to me. It’s kind of sweet, with a twang at the end, and it’s definitely much more drinkable than a lot of Bigelow’s offerings.

I really need to buy more high-quality decaf blends for my nighttime steeping, because I can’t live in decaf bagged teas and my one tin of Decaf Ceylon from Adagio.

I really like this tea, actually! It gets bitter with over-steeping, as with any tea, but I quite enjoy the orange flavour and don’t think it tastes artificial. For a teabag, and for one that contains fannings and fruit, I thought it was pretty decent.
