RE: I Just Discovered that I've Never Had Good Tea Before
Lipton is not the worst tea you can have (not the best either). Comparing to what I used to drink, Lipton was the good option. Also, if your tea is bitter, you may have steeped it for too long - that happens even to the best of teas.
Upvoted because it is true the lipton isn't the worst. But it is pretty terrible once you've had any quality British tea. In fact, English generic supermarket brand is even better.
My wife is from the UK and introduced me to good tea. In comparison, Lipton is bitter with any amount of steeping. My guess is that the leaves are too mature, or pehaps it is a different breed.
Ok, fair enough. Not the worst tea ever, but not even in the same league as PG Tips.
