drank Peach Mango (Herbal) by Lipton
1103 tasting notes

We have a ittle coffee/tea bar in the lunch room where I work and this is one of the offerings.
You pretty much get what is advertised; peach and mango with a little sweetness. Not a terrible choice if you’re after something strictly herbal but I prefer my tropical teas somewhat more juicy and flavourful.

Flavors: Mango, Peach, Sweet

drank Lipton Black Tea by Lipton
1103 tasting notes

So I bought something from Poshmark and the seller included a couple of fragrance samples and a bag of this tea (very sweet of her.)
I had coffee before work this morning and now I’m home from work, sipping this tea. I didn’t have high hopes as I’m not a huge fan of black tea but if you drown anything in enough honey, it’s going to make it nice and sweet and take away that strong bitterness and some of the astringency and that is exactly what I did. LOL
With the honey and some almond milk, it was quite good. I wouldn’t have enjoyed it otherwise. Still has a slightly astringent aftertaste but it’s nothing that I can’t tolerate.

Flavors: Astringent

It’s been a long time since I ventured into Lipton territory. I always thought their plain black loose leaf stripped your tongue a little less than the bagged variety.

I definitely had to kill it with honey! lol

drank Sencha Green Tea by Lipton
303 tasting notes

This is a tea bag I picked up at a hotel in Kortrijk, Belgium a few months ago. I was quite impressed by the look of the Lipton tea bags nowadays, thinking that the tea might have improved as well, but there I was so wrong ;-)
The bag indicates “exclusive selection”, but I wonder what they consider “exclusive”. This is green tea without any flavour really, and any hotel that tries to guarantee a certain quality level should maybe ask a tea drinker for advice.

Flavors: Green, Watery

drank Pokrzywa z Mango by Lipton
377 tasting notes

Straw-like nettle character and fairly natural mango make up a really nice, warming, pleasant aroma combination.
The taste is mainly nettle, with only a bit of mango showing through. It’s not bad but you can tell that this tea comes from a big company.

Flavors: Mango, Straw

Preparation
Boiling 7 min, 0 sec 2 g 7 OZ / 200 ML

Aye, no. I don’t know what mum’s obsession with this tea is and why it’s most she drinks because… I actively dislike it. It tastes like rind. Don’t really have anything else to say about it.

Flavors: Bitter, Lemon Zest, Orange Zest

drank Lipton's Yellow Label by Lipton
127 tasting notes

I usually avoid this tea because of how I think it tastes weird, but when grandma makes you a cuppa…you drink it. Still think it tastes weird and I can’t put my finger on it. Here people claim this is “normal” tea and compare it to other “normal” tea which usually means Pickwick’s English Blend, but that one packs much more of a punch…

drank Green Tea with Citrus by Lipton
2891 tasting notes

Do not be deceived: this is not green tea with citrus. This is weak lemonade. However, it’s not nastily artificially sweet, nor does it have enough citric acid to curl your tongue. And when it’s in triple digits and you’ve been doing VBS with a cluster of fourth graders , on ice, it’ll do. I brought the rest of the bottle home and halved it with some Brew La La strawberry green tea and it turned into a nice little fruit punch cooler.

drank Green Tea Quince by Lipton
377 tasting notes

Quite strong aroma, a bit sweetish, but with quince flavour being the most evident (and pretty natural).
The taste is pretty straightforward, typical to big company flavoured teas. There’s a faint note of not-very-high-quality base green tea, quince flavouring, slight sourness, very low astringency.
Not bad but also in no way special. Just passable.

Flavors: Fruity, Quince, Sour

No flavor. Even adding 2 teabags for a small amount of water.

drank 100% Natural Green by Lipton

Oh, nooo…

Had with a Vietnamese vermicelli bowl for lunch today. The tea smelled like swamp. Scratch that. It smelled like a murky puddle thick with algal growth. It tasted like flat and sour buttery dry grass.

The food deserved better, like a basic Vietnamese jasmine green tea. The restaurant even used proper temperature water in the pot.

:(

I hate when I order tea in a restaurant and then the tea bag they bring out is a really crap brand…

Leafhopper

Blech! I guess they deserve points for getting the temperature right.

Martin Bednář

Ordering a tea in a restaurant is always a gamble, unless they have stated the brand. But it’s sad to see Lipton, or some other famous brands considered as high-end brand here sometimes.

We are lucky as our Chinese place has excellent tea. But places like it are far and few in between.

drank Peach Mango (black) by Lipton

Pretty standard Lipton “fruit” flavoured “tea”, artificial and perfume-y. Essentially drinkable, but that’s it.

“Essentially drinkable, but that’s it” – I’ve had those. Just finished a cup of one of those. You drink it and all you can think is “This is not the worst beverage ever.” That’s all it has going for it. It’s wet and it isn’t the worst thing ever, lol.

Sipdown! (13 | 290)

Finishing off my second little stick of this, which was from a tea swap with Australian tea friend Brianna of Instagram.

Honestly, it’s not quite what I expected. I don’t taste any apple at all, and very little matcha. The strongest note is actually the basil, which gives it a more savory spa-water kind of feel. There’s also some lemon alongside it adding a nice tartness. At times, the basil actually has an anise-like flavor as well, which reminds me of fresh fennel.

Very interesting! Not something I would drink every day, but I could imagine sipping on something similar at a high-end salon or a spa, possibly with added cucumber slices.

drank English Breakfast by Lipton
1837 tasting notes

I had this tea bag from their “A moment to…” series. I asusme it is still same.

Oh well, where to start? Let’s start with a note that two minutes steeping was more than enough. Although their teas are Rainforest Aliance Certified, it doesn’t mean it’s a good cuppa.

It’s indeed quite strong and bitter, but as well somehow plain in tates. I couldn’t notice anything but bitterness. Two minutes steep caused it wasn’t ovewhelming though. There was some other note, which I could call malty, but not really sure about that. And that typical Lipton’s cardboard…

Flavors: Bitter, Cardboard, Malt

Poor Lipton. Nobody loves them here :)

I don’t look at brand, sometimes their teas are decent. But not this one.

‘Typical Liptons’ cardborad’ haha!

Mastress Alita

I actually know exactly what “typical Lipton’s cardboard” tastes like. I always assumed it was me having a reaction to the type of paper they use for their teabags… and they aren’t the only tea company where I’ve tasted “paper” or “cardboard” notes from the bags.

Persian Earl Grey. 3 words chosen randomly from a dictionary, strung together in seemingly no rhythm nor reason. When I think of Persian I think of a cat roaming around in the sand. When I think of Earl I think of the man who moved into my neighborhood last year, knocking on my door informing me that he is in fact a sexual predator. Grey, an indecisive color. You’re either black or white. Choose one. However, when blended together a sort of harmony arises. Gone with the indecision. Gone with the fear of being sexually assaulted. Gone with the smell of a sweaty cat. Instead, a nice consensual rainbow of sweet aroma arises in an otherwise normal tea mug. When you drink this tea you feel like Cyrpus the Great ruling the once great empire of Persia. you feel like a lion, king of the jungle, shaking the ground with its mighty roar. You feel as though all color has become brighter, clearer, and more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Just kidding. This tea is just ok. 5/10
