After finishing a cup of Mighty Leaf Wild Berry Hibiscus, I was in the mood for more berry so went straight for this gift from Mastress Alita.
The dry sachet smelled like a berry and spice scented candle but it was very pleasant. The brewed tea smelled very berry leaning artificial strawberry. It was complex beneath that with hints of some of the other ingredients like orange, cinnamon and chicory. The liquor was medium-bodied and tasted mostly of a tart 3-berry flavoring (strawberry, blueberry and blackberry) with a typical Lipton base flavor. It was pretty good until I got close to the bottom of the cup when it became biting in the throat and left a weird feeling on my tongue, maybe from the food starch. Not bad but too artificial for my tastes. It did, however, fill the very berry void.

I agree…Lipton’s upscale series in the pyramid bags is not stellar, but definitely will do.
I actually haven’t tried any other of Lipton’s sachets. Do you have a recommendation?
I had never had them before, I think a volunteer at my library donated them to me and I was pleasantly surprised. Like, they weren’t great compared to other teas, but by Lipton standards, they were… actually not so bad? And certainly better than some other bagged teas I’ve tried. I’d take those over many of the grocery store bagged teas that are crushed-to-death teas in the paper bags that make my water taste like cardboard. Sadly this particular one was discontinued, but I’d be down to try other sachet-style Lipton, too.
