Growing up in the south, I was born to love sweet tea. I remember having family picnics and the only drink of choice was homemade sweet iced tea. My mom used to make gallons and gallons, especially during the summer.
When I was chosen by Gen-YKnot to try out Lipton’s new Natural Iced Tea, I was a bit skeptical because they have some pretty high expectations to fill.
The newest line from Lipton has an all-nautral ingredient list and comes in four flavors; Green Tea with Citrus, Iced Tea with Lemon, Iced Tea with Blueberry Pomegranate and Green Tea with Passionfruit Mango.
While the tea didn’t taste the way my mom makes it, {I’m convinced nothing is ever as good as hers} it was refreshingly delicious. My favorite flavors were the newest for Lipton, the Blueberry Pomegranate and Passionfruit Mango. These flavors are so good that I had to hide many of them from my husband. Both teas have a tropical flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. It gives traditional iced tea a bit of a twist.
The entire line, which includes two diet flavors, is free of preservatives, artificial colors, and artificial flavors. I did have a look at the ingredients list to see just how natural the flavors were and I was able to read and recognize every single ingredient. Not only was the drink refreshing, but it was also refreshing to know that I’m drinking something all natural with nothing artificial added.
To celebrate being natural, Lipton is teaming up with Pandora.com and wants their tea drinkers to experience music in an unplugged, natural way. “The Natural Side of Music” kicks off with a surprise summer concert as well as online videos and conversations with music artists. Lipton even has their own stations on Pandora.com with selections from pop, country {my personal favorite,} rock, and hip hop.

The passionfruit one sounds really good!
I’m a fan of sweet tea, though. Have to be in the South!

Yum!! I can’t wait to try (but only when I’m not actually in the south anymore!) Bottled iced tea is usually nasty and tastes like chemicals, so I’m really excited about this! The passionfruit mango sounds especially delish. 🙂
