Crappiest black tea ever. It’s essentially water with a weak amount of caffeine. Not even adding cream could help this tea’s cause. Not a fan of Lipton black teas at all. The tea, once brewed, ends up being too watery and it’s not strong enough. Two negatives, which, in this case, does NOT make a positive. For shame Lipton, for shame. You shouldn’t be allowed to call yourself tea.
I know it’s been a while since you posted this review, but are you sure the tea you tried was Lipton Yellow Label. It would say specifically on the box or on a little tag attached to the bag, the words “Yellow Label” – in the US where you are Lipton also has a tea called “Lipton Black Tea” which I’ve only heard negative reviews about (like this one) but it is not the same blend as “Yellow Label”, which is popular all over the world.
There’s something strange about this tea that I can’t put my finger on. It’s not the carbonation since I’m a big fan of carbonated drinks and I carbonate all kinds of drinks on my own (homebrewer). I’m generally not sensitive in any way to artificial sweeteners or flavors but something in this tea doesn’t sit right with me. I’ve had it a few times now and every time it seems to give me a minor stomach ache. The regular Lipton Green Tea bottles w/o CO2 are good for what they are but I wouldn’t recommend this stuff.
Hot leaf juice. Awesome.
