Lipton

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.

I’d rather shoot myself than drink this again.

Not too strong, nor overpowering.

I’m rating this as the soft-drink that it is. As a soft-drink, this is great. Very refreshing.

drank this one after the disappointing chai experience. i agree with zizu, there’s a bitter aftertaste to this one. wish i had milk or cream to soften the bite.

Arrghh, tastes horrible. Not even like some tea bag with no taste, this one has taste : a bad one.

Quick and easy…makes plastic water taste good. A bit sweet for me, but at least its not real sugar.

Has a nice tanginess to it, I enjoy the bite.

I really enjoy this tea, very good with a bit of honey in it, nice to just sit back with a book and read while sipping on a cup.

Very delicious, smells great, tastes good, has a nice color too it too.

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/
