Lipton’s Tea – Surely it was Better then than it is now!!

Tea…what is more associated with China than the great brew? Barbaric and philistine coffee drinkers leave the room now please. However, should you be of an English persuasion and like your tea from a bag with some milk and sugar then the modern day Lipton’s tea bag available in China is a pathetic imitation of a real tea bag I think you will find. However, Lipton’s was not always such a crap tea company, that only happened later after Unilever bought them. In the old days, not that long after old Thomas Lipton himself had died in 1931, the brand was still associated with good product rather than the dust off the factory floor it is now as anyone who has been forced to buy their lousy black tea bags in China recently will, I’m sure, concur.

(BTW: I will point you in the direction of a very early post on this blog about my own very weak link with Mr Lipton – here)
