Lipton Hong Kong Style Yuanyang Milk Tea is a popular instant beverage mix that blends coffee and tea in the traditional Yuanyang style favored in Hong Kong. The brand Lipton was founded in Scotland by Sir Thomas Lipton in the late 19th century and became a global household name for tea products.

While the brand originated in the United Kingdom, its ownership has evolved significantly. For decades, it was a flagship brand for Unilever. However, in 2022, Unilever sold its tea division, including Lipton, to CVC Capital Partners, which established the business as a standalone entity called LIPTON Teas and Infusions. Interestingly, the Ready-to-Drink (RTD) bottled tea versions of Lipton remain managed under a joint venture with PepsiCo. This specific powdered product is produced across various facilities globally to meet regional demand, though it is heavily marketed and distributed in East Asian markets like Hong Kong and Taiwan.
