Lipton is one of the world's most recognizable tea brands, with a history dating back to the late 19th century in Scotland. Originally founded by Sir Thomas Lipton, the brand revolutionized how tea was sold by making it accessible and affordable for the general public, often sourcing directly from tea gardens in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).

Today, the brand operates under a complex global ownership structure. The ready-to-drink (bottled) beverages, like the one shown in the image, are produced through a long-standing joint venture between PepsiCo and Unilever known as the Pepsi Lipton Tea Partnership. While Unilever remains the primary owner of the Lipton brand name, the manufacturing of bottled versions is typically handled by local PepsiCo bottling plants in various countries including Brazil, the United States, and across Europe. This specific product is a 'Zero Sugar' lemon-flavored black tea, catering to the health-conscious consumer market.
