Adventures in Tea: Lipton Black

A few bags of this were left over from a kid's kombucha experiment. I do not have fond memories of Lipton's tea growing up.  AFAIK back then they only had the dreadful orange pekoe made from the leavings that couldn't be used for decent tea.  The "America's Favorite Tea" moniker simply means "we make the cheapest tea, and that's fine for making sweet tea, which is what we're being used for." As far as any caffeinated drink contributes to having a healthy heart... well, I guess it's better than soda.

All that said, I would be willing to drink this tea if it were available in a hotel room.  It is still greatly inferior to Nilgiri Blue Mountain as a plain black tea.
