Well that would explain the awful taste of Lipton teabags! I wonder what that same test would turn up if it was done in the US.
My family drinks their weight in Lipton daily, and I grew up on it. They still think I am nuts for drinking hot tea. And of course if it is not Lipton, it is not worth trying. Gag.
