We were visiting with good friends all day today, so I didn’t have a chance to dig into my tea stash. Instead, I drank a few cups of Lipton Green Tea. It’s what I’ve come to expect of Lipton teabags. They’re convenient, they do the trick, but they’re essentially a one brew teabag. I much prefer loose tea varieties that tend to give multiple brewings. But I wouldn’t say no to a cup of this in the future, if it were offered to me again.

A very ‘meh’ experience, and not particularly flavorful. Unremarkble, except that it gets bitter very easily and like most green teas, should be steeped only for a short period of time.

I guess this is just an “alright” tea for me, it’s forgettable and tastes like “cheap” green tea. Be careful of over-steeping, it gets bitter really quickly
