Lipton Green Tea is a staple of the global tea market, tracing its roots back to 1871 when Sir Thomas Lipton founded his first grocery business in Glasgow, Scotland. By the 1890s, the brand transitioned into tea production to make the beverage accessible and affordable to the general public.

For many decades, the brand was a central part of Unilever's portfolio. However, in July 2022, Unilever completed the sale of the majority of its global tea business (formerly known as Ekaterra) to the private equity firm CVC Capital Partners. This newly formed entity, named Lipton Teas and Infusions, now holds the ultimate ownership of the brand for leaf tea products globally. In Australia, the product is typically packed locally from imported ingredients to ensure freshness and compliance with local retail standards. While the brand is owned by the Dutch-headquartered Lipton Teas and Infusions, ready-to-drink variants (like Lipton Iced Tea) often remain under separate joint ventures involving PepsiCo and Unilever.
