Unilever Lipton Tea

Lipton is one of the world's most historically significant tea brands, founded in Glasgow, Scotland, by Thomas Lipton in the late 19th century.

While the brand has Scottish roots, its ownership transitioned to the Anglo-Dutch conglomerate Unilever over several decades in the 20th century. In 2022, Unilever completed the sale of its global tea business, including Lipton, to a dedicated tea company called ekaterra. Subsequently, ekaterra was acquired by CVC Capital Partners and underwent a rebranding to become 'LIPTON Teas and Infusions'. The manufacturing of these tea products occurs in various locations globally, including major facilities in the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and India, to serve different regional markets.
