Lipton Green Tea: A Refreshing Way to Brighten Your Day Green tea is comprised of younger, smaller tea leaves that don't go through the same oxidation process as black leaves, and therefore have a smooth, delicate taste that combines well with other flavors. These tea leaves are also high in flavonoids, a group of plant metabolites found naturally in fruits and vegetables, and thought to provide health benefits. Lipton offers an array of delicious green tea choices. Jasmine green teas add a floral note to the brew, while tangy blends like Cranberry Pomegranate and Acai Dragonfruit feature an infusion of juicy fruits. | Sustainably Sourced and Rainforest Alliance Certified Like all of Lipton's tea, Lipton Decaffeinated Honey Lemon Green Tea is Rainforest Alliance Certified. This means that Lipton works with the Rainforest Alliance to improve the social, environmental, and economic conditions of the people who grow and pick every leaf in your cup. Currently, Lipton operates a Rainforest Alliance Certified tea estate in Kericho, Kenya, and is committed to worldwide sustainability for Lipton Tea. | Lipton Tea: From Tea Garden to Tea Pot The world's leading tea brand, sold in over 150 countries, the Lipton story began in 1880 when Glasgow-born entrepreneur Sir Thomas Lipton envisioned an opportunity to make tea universally accessible with quality at acceptable prices. In 1890, he began purchasing tea estates in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), and packaged and sold the first Lipton tea. Staying true to his vision, he arranged packaging and shipping at low costs to sell his teas directly from the tea garden to the tea pot. In 1893, he officially established the Thomas J Lipton Co. Today Lipton Tea sources tea from as many as 35 countries to ensure tea-leaf integrity, quality, and freshness. The company also employs tea-tasters -- all of them masters in the harvesting, production, purchase, and blending of more than 3,000 types of tea. |
