What You Should Know
Lipton Tea is manufactured by Lipton, and is available in many variations, including green, herbal and black, and flavored such as berry, citrus and mint. Tea has been a staple of many culture’s diets for centuries, but research is just now starting to prove the health benefits of all types of tea. Lipton Tea can be hot or cold, and is a virtually calorie free, sugar free, fat free, and sodium free drink, but is said to be an aromatic and satisfying drink. The health benefits include supporting weight loss, anti-oxidants, decreased risk of cancer, coronary artery disease, and oral diseases, and strengthening the body’s immune system.
Ingredients
Lipton Tea contains orange pekoe and pekoe cut black tea. Other tea varieties may contain herbs, sugar, green tea, and other flavors.
Product Features
Lipton Tea contains natural ingredients in all varieties and flavors. The original hot tea variety contains only orange pekoe and pekoe cut black tea. This combination offers 150 mg of anti-oxidants or flavanoids per serving. The only other nutritional information includes 25mg of potassium and 55 mg of caffeine. It is the flavanoids that help the body protect itself against the free radicals. These free radicals are said to contribute to developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancers by damaging the cells. Many scientific studies are being conducted to investigate the health benefits of tea. Green tea especially has been shown to have positive effects including weight loss. All tea has been shown to strengthen the body’s immune system, protect the teeth by inhibiting plaque bacteria, and increase calories burned during the normal day. Some evidence has shown a positive effect on bone health as well. There is no recommended daily value for tea, but studies have shown that drinking 3 cups of tea a day may reduce the risk of heart attack by 12%.
Advantages
- Lipton Tea is available in many varieties and flavors.
- Lipton Tea can be purchased in any grocery store.
- Lipton Tea is made with natural ingredients.
Disadvantages
- Lipton Tea contains caffeine which may produce side effects in some consumers.
- Lipton Tea has flavors that may contain sugar.
Conclusion
Lipton Tea is available in many flavors and offers many health benefits. Tea can be consumed hot or cold, and there are different varieties for those preferences. Lipton Tea does contain caffeine that may cause side effects such as an increased pulse, increased blood pressure, jitters and insomnia. Consumers sensitive to stimulants should consider the decaffeinated variety of Lipton Tea. Also, some varieties of Lipton Tea may contain sugar, so consumers on sugar free diets should consider other varieties of the tea. Lipton Tea may support weight loss efforts, but is not specifically marketed as a weight loss supplement.
Consumers looking for a weight loss supplement should look for one with an appetite suppressant and a fat burner. This combination in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise will produce the best results. This supplement should have a dedicated website with customer testimonials and clinical trials proving the effectiveness of the product.
Giant Eagle used to carry it in Pittsburgh stores. I found it at Walmarts.

I have purchased Lipton’s black tea from Costco the other day. It certainly isn’t the tea that I drank many years ago. It is dull and unpleasant. It no longer says “Orange pekoe and pekoe” on the package. Perhaps it is a cheap blend for Costco?

I have tried to get lipton diet tea with lemon for 2 months now. Not green tea.
They say they ordered it but it hasn’t come yet. I live in Pittsburgh Pa. Emsworth area. Giant Eagle store in ben avon, camphorne road. Could you e-mail me back and let me know if you took it off the market. This is the only diet tea I like or buy.
Thanks
