It is near impossible for you not to know that flavoniod antioxidants are good for you, and one of the easiest ways to get them is by drinking green tea. Green tea naturally contains those protective antioxidants that help your body fight against free radical cells, but the sometimes-bitter flavor is not everyone’s cup of tea, pun intended.
Lipton Green Tea with Orange, Passion fruit and Jasmine has a nice mellow fruit flavor and all the good flavors of the green tea without the bitterness. I was instantly addicted. When I went to the grocery store, I was delighted to find that Lipton had other flavors that sounded as tasty as the one I had already tried. I got the sample box that has a few of each flavor in it; flavors in sample box are Honey, Lemon Ginseng, Mixed Berry, Mint, Cranberry Pomegranate and Orange, Passion Fruit & Jasmine. All of these teas have at least 60mg of antioxidants per serving (a serving is one tea bag).
I will start with the Lemon Ginseng, because I do not like it. Its listed ingredients are green tea, natural lemon flavor, panax ginseng, and lemon grass. I think its the ginseng that gives this one a bad flavor. If you like Ginseng you will like this flavor.
The other one I did not like is the Mint, but I have never really liked mint anyways. However, I asked someone that likes mint to taste it and tell me what they think. They liked it, saying it wasn’t to strong (or weak). Ingredients: green tea, spearmint leaves, peppermint leaves, and lemon grass. Not very many ingredients but it packs a lot of flavor/
The Mixed Berry… This one is great. I love it. It tastes like fruit punch. Its ingredients are green tea, natural cherry, raspberry, blueberry, and strawberry flavors, does that sound good or what.
The Honey was good; This flavor of tea is great for those sick days. The chamomile really helps you relax while the honey sooths your throat. Ingredients: green tea, orange peel, chamomile, lemon grass, licorice root, roasted chicory root, and natural honey flavor.
The Cranberry Pomegranate (a new flavor): I am not into cranberry but I liked this tea. Cranberries and pomegranate go good together; the flavor drives your taste buds wild. Ingredients: (of course) green tea, hibiscus flowers, chamomile flowers, cinnamon, citric acid (for tartness), licorice root, lemon grass, and roasted chicory root.
Next, I want to try the new Lipton Pyramid teas, and see if the new pyramid shaped bag really makes a more flavorful tea during the seeping process
