Liptons

Liptons is a brand of tea that is widely recognized around the world. It was founded in Scotland by Sir Thomas Lipton in 1890. Sir Thomas Lipton was a merchant who aimed to make tea more accessible to the general public by selling it at affordable prices. He was known for his marketing strategies, including his distinctive red and yellow packaging.

The Liptons brand quickly grew in popularity, expanding its reach across the British Empire and eventually globally. The company established its own tea estates in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to ensure a consistent supply of high-quality tea. Over the years, Liptons introduced a variety of tea products, including black tea, green tea, and herbal infusions, catering to diverse consumer preferences.

In 1937, Liptons became part of Unilever, a multinational consumer goods company. Under Unilever's ownership, the brand continued to innovate and expand its product line, introducing ready-to-drink iced teas and other tea-based beverages. Liptons remains one of the largest tea brands globally, with a presence in numerous countries and a strong association with everyday tea consumption. The brand emphasizes refreshment and quality in its marketing.
