Lipton is one of the world's most iconic tea brands, originally founded in the late 19th century by Sir Thomas Lipton in Scotland. The brand became famous for its consistent quality and innovative packaging, such as the staple-free tea bag. It is a globally recognized household name, providing a wide variety of black, green, and herbal teas to consumers across dozens of countries.
Historically, Lipton was owned by the multinational consumer goods company Unilever. However, in recent years, Unilever underwent a strategic divestment of its tea business. This led to the creation of CVC Capital Partners' tea division, now known as LIPTON Teas and Infusions. This new entity is the ultimate owner of the brand, managing its extensive portfolio of botanical beverages.
Manufacturing for Lipton tea products occurs in multiple locations globally to ensure efficiency and freshness. Specific packaging like the one shown is distributed in various European markets. The sourcing of the tea leaves themselves primarily comes from estates in countries such as Kenya, India, and Sri Lanka before being processed and packaged in regional facilities.
