Lipton
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I have a weakness for Lady Grey and plain black Lipton. Everyone on the tea sub calls is trash but there's just something about it I can't kick.
- Generally, I do half milk half water, bring to a simmer just under boiling, add tea (usually like 2 bags of lipton for 1 person), sugar, any spices/aromatics, and then leave it on medium heat to steep for a while before serving
- I drink Lipton regularly, you know why because I can’t afford to have a nice daily breakfast tea.
- lipton is alright. i know hobby subs stick their noses in the air but it really can be alright sometimes.
- To me, Tetley and Lipton are pleasant enough - but many disagree.
Cons
- I’m in the US and none of the commonly available teas are any good. All taste bitter and flat. (Lipton, Red Diamond, Luzianne)
- Is this actually good tea and I’m just a peasant who’s been poisoned by Lipton my whole life?
- I used to drink Lipton (can’t really stand it now)
- Or even worse, Lipton.
- With my hard bias against lipton (there are better store brands), I imagine it would be even more bitter and lacking in tea flavour as it is fresh lol.

My entire perception of tea was based on Lipton
Worth noting is that some tea brands (especially Lipton) are grown with the intention of becoming sweet or iced tea. They will have higher tannin levels, which makes the tea taste bitter. ... personally I grew up thinking I hated tea until I learned I just hated Lipton/teas with high tannin levels.
the best we can hope for is an ancient box of Lipton.
