>>17768871
It's in tea bags and has finely ground

>>17768883
>>17768881
Isn't their a tea fag general for you guys?

>>17768888
You asked what's wrong with it so we told you. Why aren't you posting in the tea general?

>>17768871
it's tea, aka piss

drink coffee

>>17768871
Its shit.

>>17768871
I reuse these bags 2 times, effectively geting 200 cups of tea for the price of 100

>>17768871
cheap tea bags contain tea dust and broken leaves, literally the thing they sweep off the factory floor

the whole leaves get put into more expensive tins as loose leaf or in premium tea bags you see in cafes

glyphosate and heavy metals, probably. also like tannins and shit that are harmless in small amounts but will overwork your liver and kidneys with longterm consumption in place of plain water

>>17768871
Is that the same as lipton yellow label?

>he drinks fucking lipton
lol
lmao

My dad has been drinking lipton every morning for probably almost 40 years at this point. Literally nothing wrong with it. No time for your faggy teas. Lipton tea is the working mans tea.

>>17768871
you could be drinking many other, better teas
my stepdad drinks Lipton and he is an absolute tastelet with the food preferences of a small child

Lipton is like the Folgers of Coffee. It got to where it is today because it’s good and cheap. The average American drinks coffee or tea for the caffeine not for the experience.

>>17768871
There's literally nothing wrong with this. Dumbfucks only force themselves to hate it because it's popular.

it's funny that Lipton isn't even sold in UK. Unilever sells a different brand tea there, PG Tips. But, they do sell Lipton bottled iced tea there.

>>17768871
no flavor
and black tea is for nigger in the south and white nigger in England.

we have Twinings in the U.S. too, no reason for Lipton to exist. Nothing tops a strong English/Irish Breakfast tea with a splash of oat milk

>>17770296
Is PG Tips better? Does the UK have ever so slightly higher standards where Lipton couldn't compete?

>>17768871
It's in bags.

>>17768871
it tastes like shit.

Lipton is the best tea unironically. Every other is ovepriced trash

>>17768871
Taste only OK without milk.
Perfect with fresh, condense or evaporate milk

>>17768871
Too cheap for me.

Incredibly depressing

>>17771468
from what I read, it's just another budget tea of same level of quality. just with a monke

>>17768871
>Tea

why do Americans drink so little tea anyway? because of the whole schtick that tea is for Brits and belongs in the ocean? or just because it's healthy and not sweet and therefore too lame and gay for Americans?

>>17768895
because it's a den of faggots larping as chinese

>>17768871
>name ONE flaw

>>17768871
a cup of this with a few spoonfulls of sugar is the shit
>inb4 beetus amerifat
I used to drink nothing but soda so this helps me ween off.
Also fuck those places that only have non sweetened tea and if you ask for sugar they give you a packet of sugar to mix in to your cold tea.
IT HAS TO BE FUCKING HOT OR IT IS NOT THE SAME

>>17772480
yeah it kinda is about the taxes we wanted to avoid but also patriotism. include the fact when Andrew Jackson repealed the tax on coffee in like 1830 tea had no chance against coffee
so it's not really because of the "hehe imma dump your tea fuck off england" meme it's that it cost more and THEN after another war with england in 1812 it just became more "American" to be a coffee guy than some tea drinking poof

>>17773215
huh, thanks, that actually explains a lot. that said, a lot of time has passed since then. when half the country chugs soda and energy drinks, you'd think tradition isn't so important anymore, and more people would start drinking tea, especially with more hype for "healthy" foods. although black tea doesn't really have that many benefits, but it's still ok

>>17773242
I think you're under the impression we drink very little tea. About 1 in 4 Americans drinks tea every day, as opposed to half of us who drink coffee. I drink tea for instance but my mom and dad drink coffee (my sister drinks Mountain Dew and yes she is fat). So really we're drinking a shitload of the stuff honestly, it's just half as popular as the alternative
Side note: tea drinking (when hot) is seen as more feminine and liberal so there are tremendous regional differences in consumption as well. I would venture a guess that tea is quite popular in California whereas there is not a single roughneck in Oklahoma who would be caught dead with a cuppa

>>17768871
My mother tried to give some Lipton's to the Scottish fella we were hosting and he laughed and said they have a saying "as weak as Lipton's brew" and he embarrassed her because she didn't realize it was bantz even if he was being kinda serious about not liking Lipton's. So I guess it not being strong could be a flaw

Anyways fuck Scotland :)

>>17768871
it's not this one

>>17773294
> tea drinking (when hot) is seen as more feminine and liberal
Peak American retardation.

>>17771772
Tastes pretty damned good with whiskey...

Lipton canisters are great for cold tea you drink all day or mixing tea. There's not a lot of subtlety, it just tastes very strongly of tea. On the rare occasion I drink it hot, I insist on adding lemon or honey or something because it's just... tea.

>>17772480
Sweet tea is yuge in the south

>>17774663
It's not dumb when you think about it historically. Because of tea's association with Britain and the increased cost, the consumption of tea was seen as more 'refined' and cosmopolitan than coffee

>>17774300
hol up

>>17773294
I was under the impression American liberals lived in their copious coffee shops

>>17773294
>and yes she is fat
Yeah you don't have to go out of your way to point that out. If she's american we're already assuming she's fat by default.

/tea/ only drink poo tea lmao
>it’s supposed to taste like moldy dirt! It’s steamed that way!

>>17771468
PG Tips is the tea that sits in the back corner of the office kitchen cupboard unused, I've never seen anyone drink it because there are far better teas in the UK.

>>17774778
it's an association not a delineation, and those shops all have tea on offer. guys who drive trucks on the way to the work site get their morning hot beverage of choice from gas stations or McDonalds which don't serve tea only coffee, and they insist on drinking it black
It's just another dumb thing we do to not be gay

>>17768871
It's mostly grass \ dirt. Not very much tea in it. I'm not a big tea drinker though.

>>17774843
I bought a pack of PG Tips when I moved into my house 6 years ago. I mostly drink darjeeling and ceylon, so there's still well over half the box left for emergencies or guests.

>>17768871
Tastes cheaper than your mom.

>>17772480
>why do Americans drink so little tea anyway?
Because tea just takes like contaminated water.
But then so does filter coffee so who knows

>>17775163
You never tried tea, you just had Lipton or other garbage.

>>17775163
get out of my country

>>17774843
stop lying Ian, we know that all you brits drink is PG Tips drowned in milk and sugar

>>17774708
oh yes, I forgot. if you can load up something with sugar, people in the south will love it

>>17775205
is there any coffee in that thing? and i'd really like to know the mg of caffiene in there it's gotta be less than like 50

>>17775205
Since when was Starbucks a southern thing

Half the dust in these grocery store tea bags is just dirt. And it's even more expensive than loose leaf.

Are people fuckin' retarded?

>>17775670

>>17775677
Open one up, pour the contents into a glass, stir. Then scoop out the leaf from the top of the glass. Everything left in the bottom is dirt and dust.

>>17775677
It's true, it's the lowest quality possible, easy to verify on your own.

>>17768871

It doesn’t come with a cool little figurine that your grandma gives you when she opens a new box
