Lipton Forest Fruits Black Tea

Lipton was founded by Sir Thomas Lipton in Scotland in the late 19th century, revolutionizing tea by making it accessible and affordable for the general public. For many years, the brand was a cornerstone of Unilever's food and beverage portfolio. In recent years, Unilever underwent a strategic divestment of its tea business, resulting in the creation of Liptea (formerly Ekaterra).

Today, Lipton is owned by Liptea, which is a joint venture between the private equity firm CVC Capital Partners and Unilever (with CVC holding the controlling interest). The brand's products are sourced and manufactured in multiple countries, often blended in large facilities in locations such as Belgium, Poland, or the United Arab Emirates to ensure consistent flavor profiles globally.
