Lipton: PureLeaf White Tangerine
Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 8:08PM 
I've always enjoyed citrus flavored teas. Having said that, I thought I'd try Lipton's PureLeaf white tea - Tangerine flavored. At my local grocery store, the PureLeaf products were two for one dollar. I couldn't pass up that deal. I don't drink a lot of Lipton products anymore, but it's important for me to drink RTD (ready-to-drink) beverages that I know are consumed by the masses. Lipton has the kind of reach that most beverage/tea companies can only dream of; however, most tea companies are distancing themselves from products similar to this. The move has been toward organic ingredients and agave or pure cane sugar for sweetening. Can you really taste the difference? Yes!Of all the PureLeaf products I have tried, this is my favorite. The white tea and tangerine flavors are favorable complements. This is a very sweet beverage, and it's loaded with sugar - 32g of sugar. Although this beverage tastes good, it does lack the purity that I've grown accustomed to with organic products sweetened with agave and pure cane sugar. In the end, PureLeaf does offer a product that is flavorful and affordable.

I really liked this tea but cannot find it anymore in any of our stores. Would like to get product again.
Susan:
Sorry to hear that, I just had another one today. Lipton's website might have some location info to find this product. I hope you find one.

I couldn't get past the sugar after 2 sips.
Andrea:
I hear ya...I typically drink about 1/3 of the bottle a day to avoid the high-dose of sugar.
