Lipton Yellow Label Black Tea
One carton makes 100 cups. Lipton describes Yellow Label as black tea with a rich taste, an intense colour and an invigorating aroma.
This is the grocery black tea, not the green box and not the canned iced tea. The Canadian page does not print a steep time.
Thomas Lipton started the tea line in 1890. CVC Capital Partners took the bagged-tea business from Unilever in July 2022. The leaf is not grown here.
