The Story Behind Lipton's Black Tea

To get Lipton's black tea from the field to your cup, leaves are picked, dried for up to 24 hours, rolled, shredded, and then left to rest and oxidize. Finally, applying 1832 degrees of heat gets the tea ready to be shipped and enjoyed.

In addition to Black Tea, Lipton offers a huge variety of black tea choices, from satisfying classics like Daring English Breakfast to bold options like Irresistible Lady Lipton and Enticing Chai. All of these black tea varieties are full-flavored and rich in antioxidants.

Sustainably Sourced and Rainforest Alliance Certified*

All Lipton teas are 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. Lipton currently 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

Thomas Lipton was a man on a mission: to share his passion for tea around the world. He believed that everyone deserved high quality, great tasting tea. And over 120 years later, that belief is still what drives Lipton Tea, inspiring more flavors, more varieties and more love than ever before.
