It is simply good tea

Good iced tea is the solution to anyone who pays a lot for unhealthy carbonated beverages and lugs them home from the grocery store. The directions describe making a cup of hot tea from a teaspoon or tea leaves. They must like their tea strong! By my estimate, I'll make 60 gallons of fairly strong iced tea from this one large box of loose tea. Incidentally, the box is bilingual. Half is English and the other half is Farsi, Persian or some other Middle Eastern language.Warning To Brits And Other Tea Snobs: Stop reading now. To make half a gallon of iced tea, I microwave five cups of water in a large Pyrex measuring cup with a rounded tablespoon of Lipton Yellow Label loose tea for eight minutes (just short of boiling) and allow it to steep another 3-5 minutes. Unlike an infuser ball, the tea leaves are free to circulate and the tea diffuses quickly. Brownian motion for the win! I pour the tea through the Schefs Premium Tea Filter (purchased on Amazon) to trap the loose finely cut tea leaves, and I add filtered water to make two quarts of tea. The tea filter does a great job of filtering. Part of that may be the result of the premium Yellow Label tea not having much tea leaf dust that can slip through the tiny holes in the tea filter. My tea is almost entirely free of tea leaf silt and it tastes delicious. I drink it unsweetened throughout the summer.Pro Tip: If you like lemon in your iced tea, get a KitchenAid mixer and the citrus juicer attachment, buy bags of lemons in bulk, squeeze them and freeze the juice in ice cube trays. Drop two lemon cubes in the tea filter, pour in the hot tea, and the pulp remains in the filter with the tea leaves. You can also make instant lemonade with a lemon cube, a tablespoon of sugar and a cup of water. Stir until the lemon melts and add ice. I keep frozen lemon and lime cubes. They're great for cooking too, anytime you need fresh lemon or lime juice.

The product box was a disaster. The ends were opened and the sides were smashed. Question. Is this product safe to use?

Great loose-leaf tea. You can make strong Arabic tea with this if you have a double tea pot. Reminds me of Istanbul cafes.

I ordered loose tea leaves, but got “coffee ground-like pellets! I never saw tea leaves like this!! The taste was subpar and we threw the product out! I would have returned it to Amazon, but my husband poured the “pellets” into a canister and threw the box away! What a shock to order loose tea leaves from a tea company and get this junk product!! What happened to Lipton?! Why didn’t AMAZON mention that this tea was “LOOSE PELLET TEA” vs the loose tea leaves we all know?!?!?! PRODUCT WAS NOT AS ADVERTISED!!!

My mom uses this for her iced tea. Couldn’t find it anywhere else. So glad Amazon carried it. Great product at a great price.

No doubt, being for the Indian Market, this is more sophisticated than my tea tastes run. It seems to get darker, weight for weight in the same volume of water at the same temperature and for the same length of time. It is as if less-bitter tannins are present.My interest runs to anti-oxidant & anti-inflammatory requirements — but the flavor and scent is quite a bit more delicate.I steep this with dried mint, dried lemongrass, dried rosehips, and jasmin green tea, de-bittered (sweetened) with stevia and laced with Ceylon cinnamon & cassia oils in a shifting balance, as goes the day.

Lipton loose tea is very difficult to find at the grocery store; just tea bags. I discovered this tea on Amazon. INCREDIBLE! Its in granules, not leaves and very strong and flavorful! 2 tablespoons makes a gallon of strong, delicious iced tea!
