Lipton Green Tea
Diet Lipton Green Tea with Citrus:
Diet Lipton Green Tea with Citrus is really iced tea but the ‘tea’ is green tea (instead of brewed black tea). In this ‘Diet’ incarnation, the sweeteners used are aspartame and acesulfame K. I really liked the taste of this. It’s not very sweet at all, which is actually perfect. The citrus flavoring adds a nice slightly tart undertone, and there is no sweet after-taste left over in your mouth, which I have found to occur with my favorite non-caloric beverage, Arizona Diet Green Tea with Ginseng.
Lipton is a popular tea brand owned by giant corporation Unilever. Their tag line is “100% Natural Tea”. Their website is covered with bold and glitzy health claims - such as the Lipton “Live Well Challenge” or the benefits of naturally protective antioxidants and so on.

Lipton has also recently entered the green tea market, launching both leaf and ready-to-drink varieties.
Lipton Iced Green Tea: shockingly long ingredient list
We went to the Lipton web site and looked up the ingredient list of their Iced Green Tea. We naively anticipated the list to contain water, green tea and perhaps some sort of added sugars. However, the list is shockingly long. Water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, green tea, sodium hexametaphosphate, ascorbic acid, honey, natural flavors, phosphoric acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, calcium disodium edta, caramel color, tallow 5, blue1.
A delicate, clean taste, subtle aroma and a beautiful pale green color characterize our range of green tea products.
