WE KNOW OUR TEA

GROWING OUR OWN TEA

What makes Lipton s expertise so unique is that the company not only buys tea on the open market, but also has had its own plantations since 1890 when Sir Thomas Lipton bought his first tea estates in Ceylon.

Lipton only uses the top leaves of the tea plant. These are the youngest, most tender and most flavorful leaves that produce the best, highest-quality cup of tea. But how do you get the best leaves? At Lipton, we grow our own. We have our own tea estates in Kenya and Tanzania. We also conduct extensive research programs at our estates to improve growing and harvesting practices so you enjoy a dependably delicious cup. With our own estates, we’re able to sustain Sir Thomas Lipton’s mission of constantly seeking new and improved ways of delivering the best tea experience.

We also source teas from as many as 35 countries to ensure a consistent taste and an uninterrupted supply. These teas have to be the best of the best to satisfy our tea experts.
