Lipton Black Tea with Lemon

Lipton is one of the world's most recognizable tea brands, originally founded in Scotland by Sir Thomas Lipton in the late 19th century. The brand became famous for its consistent quality and for making tea accessible to the general public. While it originated in the UK, its production today is global, with sourcing and packaging occurring in various countries depending on the regional market. For European distributions, large facilities in Brussels or Poland are common, though ingredients like lemon may be sourced specifically, as noted by the 'from Spain' text on the packaging.

In a significant corporate shift completed in 2022, the tea business was carved out from Unilever into an independent company. It is now owned by CVC Capital Partners, who operate the tea portfolio under the name Liptea (formerly Ekaterra). This move marks a new chapter for the brand, distancing it from the multi-conglomerate structure of Unilever while maintaining its status as a market leader in the tea industry.
