Yellow Label International Blend | Black Tea | Premium Tea | Lipton Tea Bags | 200 Grams (Pack of 2)

Good iced tea is the solution to anyone who pays a lot for unhealthy carbonated beverages and lugs them home from the grocery store. The directions describe making a cup of hot tea from a teaspoon or tea leaves. They must like their tea strong! By my estimate, I'll make 60 gallons of fairly strong iced tea from this one large box of loose tea. Incidentally, the box is bilingual. Half is English and the other half is Farsi, Persian or some other Middle Eastern language. Warning To Brits And Other Tea Snobs: Stop reading now. To make half a gallon of iced tea, I microwave five cups of water in a large Pyrex measuring cup with a rounded tablespoon of Lipton Yellow Label loose tea for eight minutes (just short of boiling) and allow it to steep another 3-5 minutes. Unlike an infuser ball, the tea leaves are free to circulate and the tea diffuses quickly. Brownian motion for the win! I pour the tea through the Schefs Premium Tea Filter (purchased on Amazon) to trap the loose finely cut tea leaves, and I add filtered water to make two quarts of tea. The tea filter does a great job of filtering. Part of that may be the result of the premium Yellow Label tea not having much tea leaf dust that can slip through the tiny holes in the tea filter. My tea is almost entirely free of tea leaf silt and it tastes delicious. I drink it unsweetened throughout the summer. Pro Tip: If you like lemon in your iced tea, get a KitchenAid mixer and the citrus juicer attachment, buy bags of lemons in bulk, squeeze them and freeze the juice in ice cube trays. Drop two lemon cubes in the tea filter, pour in the hot tea, and the pulp remains in the filter with the tea leaves. You can also make instant lemonade with a lemon cube, a tablespoon of sugar and a cup of water. Stir until the lemon melts and add ice. I keep frozen lemon and lime cubes. They're great for cooking too, anytime you need fresh lemon or lime juice.

This is perfect brewing tea easily used to brew to any strength desired

I did not think I would like it because I was accustomed orange pekoe tea. But I love this Chia tea. It is so smooth and strong so it goes further. It makes delicious hot or cold tea. Also I like loose tea. It is difficult to find these days.

I hate this tea. It's cloudy every time I make it and I make it by the directions. Years ago I used to buy this loose tea in a much smaller box and it was delicious. This is inferior in my opinion.

Ages ago, there was a Lipton loose tea which I really enjoyed and could be identified as actual leaves. But it apparently disappeared. This tea isn't that tea. It isn't the tea bag tea either, but it does carry the same astringent quality even if slightly over-brewed. Thus better served as iced tea, diluted to taste with sugar added.

I love the cold brew flavor but use sparingly. Don’t use like regular Lipton to avoid the jitters

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I found this tea to be good. There was no place to get the regular Lipton loose tea (used since the seventies for drinking and recipes) so I ended up with this in desperation after trying bagged “dust.” It’s grainy; it’s not tea leaves. The packaging is a foil paper so I put that bag into a ziplock bag, and it’s stayed really fresh even with only myself using the tea. I find it to have a ‘buttery’ smooth flavor, really very smooth. I use just a little over half a coffee tablespoon scoop for a five cup coffee/tea maker and I put an extra cup out to make three 12-oz cups. I have alway used vanilla bean snippets with tea and coffee brewing. An inch long piece lasts almost a month with daily use. Just rinse and let dry, put it int basket again (in a filter) with my next brewing. When the bitter tannins come through, it’s time for a new snippet of vanilla bean.It’s not for vanilla flavor, it’s to “tame” the bitter tannins, thank you Bert Greene cookbook for that tip. I really was surprised to find this tea so pleasing, and it’s going to be a staple for me now that I’ve tried it. I don’t know how it’s made into pellets or why, must be to keep it from turning to dust maybe? If that’s it then it works, imho. A surprise really good purchase!
