The liston a l’orange décevant

Boff, très ordinaire ... j’en n’ai partager avec mes personnes âgées et ceux-ci l’ont détestées... ce n’est pas goutteux les gens préfèrent les sans noms ... je suis vraiment déçue car c’est un peu amers et très ordinaire. Je ne l’achèterai pas une miette.

I was super excited to be given the opportunity to try this tea for free! I was mailed a full size box, which is awesome, alongside a full sized box of the Mint Green tea. I was a little disappointed in the flavour of this tea, as it was bland and I found it to taste mostly just like normal green tea. Lipton is still one of my favourite tea brands (especially price wise!) so I hope they come out with a more flavourful version :)

An odd pairing

I'm not the hugest fan when it comes to orange flavoured foods, but I was intrigued none-the-less when I received this for free to test, to see how green tea would taste paired up with orange.

I tested them both hot and cold. Brewed hot, there was very little orange flavour, which was a major let down. If you claim orange bright and bold on the packaging, I'd expect to taste that. It was rather bland and oddly tasted like a basic black tea you can get anywhere that isn't anything special.

Brewed cold, however, is a different ball game. I added some stevia sweetener and it tasted like a pleasant summer drink. Still, the orange flavour was very lacking, but it wasn't bad. I'd assume paired with a real orange slice on the side to squeeze in, this would taste really good and summer-like.

In the end, I didn't think this pairing of orange and green tea was necessary. Pairing a sweet citrus fruit with a bitter plant created a bland concoction.

Not very good.

I was really excited to try this tea, because I've been a fan of Lipton for a while, but sadly it did not meet my expectations. There was little taste of the orange and green tea flavors in the tea and it was not what I had hoped for.
