Lipton Yellow Label | Black Tea | Premium Blend | International Blend | Lipton Tea Bags | 200 Grams (Pack of 2)

I drink a lot of hot black tea, even in summertime--if tea has antioxidant properties, I should be really darned rust-proof by now. I am pretty plebeian in my tea tastes for everyday--I don't want a pale and delicate floral liquour. I want a hearty and flavorful brew to drink (sweet, I admit it) with my breakfast and teatime. And this is the tea I drink over and over and over. For years. Forget the Lipton tea you know from American grocery stores--this is tea for India and the Middle East, where folks take hot tea drinking seriously, and it makes a quick, robust, bright strong brew. This is CTC tea, not leaf tea; it looks like little granules because the tea leaves have been chopped or torn up or something, then allowed to ball up into little bitty irregular bits, and this process allows the tea to infuse very rapidly and come more or less to equilibrium; if you leave your tea loose in the pot, as I do, you don't have to worry about your tea getting too bitter and strong before you can drink the pot down, and that is nice. The price is also awesome, as a good heaping teaspoon of this tea will make a nice pot for two people. If you live where you have Indian grocery stores, you can get it considerably cheaper than you can on Amazon, but I have moved to a small town in Mississippi where that just isn't happening, so I have to be content with the Amazon price, which still beats the pants off any sort of gourmet or specialty tea I'd be buying to try to equal the taste of this tea workhorse.When I do was a more special cup, I use a bit less than a level teaspoon for a pot, and mix in leaves of another, more expensive tea, like KusmiTea Russian Evening or Morning Tea, or a good Earl Grey. The Lipton supports a good red base cup, while the more premium tea adds a nice top note of flavor; in this manner I can stretch the expensive tea out a long, long, way, and so justify buying it!Bottom line: if you like a delicious red (black) tea in industrial quantity, this is the tea for you.

The box had a LOT of loose tea that leaked from the bags. Perhaps the box had a very rough journey. That said.... IT'S TEA IN A BAG. Looks like tea, smells like tea, makes an excellent tea drink... open the box over a sink!! I make SUN TEA in a big glass "sun tea" jar on my patio.... I've been making Sun Tea as long as I can remember! Start with cold water in a BIG jar, tie 5 tea bags together (or more, depending on taste and the size of your jar), screw on the lid and set it in FULL SUN. No boiling of water necessary... nature takes care of the rest. When it looks dark and the bags are "spent" remove the bags...DO NOT SQUEEZE them... they may rupture and leave you with a mess of errant tea leaves! Let the jar cool... when cool, put it in the fridge. I put mint leaves in the jar to SUN with the tea bags. I usually squeeze the mint leaves to eek out every last drop of mint! Hint.... if you sugar the tea when it's warm, it won't last as long in the fridge. It sometimes will turn funky. I suggest sugaring in your serving pitcher or glass when ready to drink

I think the difference is that we made a whole teapot of tea--4 six ounce cups with one tea bag steeped for five minutes but the color and taste are there. One tea bag for one cup is lots stronger than the tea grandma made! I am happy with my purchase and am enjoying the comfort this holiday month!

Though the pack was mutilated, however it tastes great. Quality product deserves quality and good packaging. Give it a thought!

This product is fundamentally different than the loose leaf sold in the US. It's ok because, well, you can't find the loose leaf that Lipton use to sell - at least I can't.

Not leaf tea. Looks more like instant coffee. Not good for brewing iced tea. Would return if I could.

I have used Lipton for more than 65 years. I am very grateful to be able to get it sent to me.

Strong taste and great value for 100 pcs
