Lipton Limon Iced Tea

Lipton Limon is a globally recognized lemon-flavored iced tea beverage. The brand's history dates back to the late 19th century when Thomas Lipton established his tea empire in Scotland, revolutionizing the way tea was packaged and sold. Over the decades, Lipton transitioned from a traditional loose-leaf tea brand into a leader in the ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage market, known for its refreshing citrus profiles.

While the brand has its roots in the United Kingdom, its production is now highly decentralized. The ready-to-drink bottled and canned versions are typically produced through a long-standing strategic partnership known as the Pepsi Lipton Tea Partnership. This joint venture utilizes local bottling facilities in various regions across North America, Europe, and Asia to ensure efficient distribution and product freshness.

In terms of ownership, the Lipton brand has undergone significant structural changes. While the ready-to-drink segment remains a joint venture with PepsiCo, the global tea business (excluding certain regions) was sold by Unilever to CVC Capital Partners in 2022. This entity now operates as Lipane (formerly Ekaterra), making it the world's largest dedicated tea company under private equity ownership.
