TasTEA Time! Lipton Green Tea

Oh Lipton, I've made fun of you on this blog and I'm probably going to do it again.  But it's not necessarily because you're bad.  No, it's because you're a big giant corporation that has so many different branches and kinds of tea that it's ridiculous.  Yes, something as awful as Brisk and as....decent as Pure Leaf can be in the same company.  I actually bought a sampler of green teas just to see how they compare to the other green teas I have.

Outsides:  See, I thought the sachets were just wrapped n paper, but the inside is saran wrap so good job Lipton.  The green tea looks like green tea that you'd get in America, kinda gold colored as opposed to matcha green.  And it smells very fresh and plant-like.

Insides:  The flavor is nice and strong, plantlike with a very sweet tastes.  It's not as warm as the Dilmah but it's not as sweet as the Chunmee, so I'm guessing it has more Ceylon than anything else.  Despite a strong, green tea flavor, it has very little bitterness however, I did taste a hint of chemical (Lipton isn't organic).  Despite that, it's not a bad cup of tea.

Overall:  It's ok.  You can probably do better and I'd encourage you to buy some loose leaf, but if you see it at a hospital (and mix some cold water in with the hot water so you don't burn the flavor oils), you'll have a decent cup of tea.

My Rating:  Try/Pass.  Here's the site and now I can review all the fun flavors!
