Lipton Yellow Label tea bags

Lipton Yellow Label tea is a globally recognized beverage brand with a rich history dating back to the late 19th century. Founded by Sir Thomas Lipton in Scotland, the brand revolutionized the tea industry by making high-quality tea accessible and affordable. The packaging in the image shows a large format containing 60 tea bags, typically distributed in European markets.

Historically, Lipton was a cornerstone of the Unilever portfolio for decades. However, in a major corporate shift in 2022, Unilever sold its tea business, including Lipton, to a dedicated tea company called CVC Capital Partners. This entity was subsequently rebranded as LIPTON Teas and Infusions. While the tea is sourced from various estates globally (Kenya, Sri Lanka, India), the final blending and packaging are carried out in major facilities across Europe and Asia. The brand's ultimate ownership now rests with the private equity firm CVC Capital Partners, headquartered in Luxembourg and London.
