Diet Lipton Green Tea with Citrus

Green TeaDiet Lipton Green Tea with Citrus is really iced tea but the 'tea' is green tea (instead of brewed black tea). In this 'Diet' incarnation, the sweeteners used are aspartame and acesulfame K. I really liked the taste of this. It's not very sweet at all, which is actually perfect. The citrus flavoring adds a nice slightly tart undertone, and there is no sweet after-taste left over in your mouth, which I have found to occur with my favorite non-caloric beverage, Arizona Diet Green Tea with Ginseng [read the review].

Like Arizona Diet Green tea, Lipton Diet Green Tea also has no calories, no fat, and no sugar. I think I prefer Lipton Diet Green Tea, which cost me about $1.00 for a 20 ounce bottle. I love the fact that the packaging indicates how much flavonoid antioxidants are in the bottle (72 mg per 8 ounce serving). The whole fascination with green tea has to do with the beneficial effects of antioxidants which green tea possesses in abundance, but how much of it do you need to experience these beneficial effects? Who knows, but I'm of the mindset that every little bit helps.

I totally agree with the rating here! I love the Diet Green Tea from Lipton. I bought some, not expecting it to taste good at all, but was very pleasantly surprised that it does! :)

I like the flavor of aspartame, but it gives me incredible headaches, so I avoid it at all costs. It's a total bummer when you're watching your calories.

Lipton also makes a "Green Tea to Go", which is flavored with Splenda (nutrasweet gives me headaches too, but Splenda does not). The "tea to go" must be added to 16-20 oz of water. There are several flavors. All are very tasty and refreshing.
for caffeine content in Lipton products, see the Pepsi website: http://www.pepsi.com/pepsi_brands/ingredient_facts/index.php

You can get the info on caffeine at http://www.pepsi.com/pepsi_brands/ingredient_facts/index.php but to answer your question, diet lipton green tea with citrus (and the non diet too) has 11 mg of caffeine per 8 ounce serving. The lemon flavor has 20 mg per 8 ounce serving.

This product is awsome. It tastes great and isnt to sweet. For anyone with an ulser the caffine level is low enought that it does bug it at all. Highly recomend for all.

I've been drinking the green tea flavored with citrus for about a month now and keep it in stock at home. As others have said it tastes great and in not overly sweet.
But what is with the slots in the neck of the bottle. Try drinking from the bottle and it dribbles down your chin.

You guys in the USA are very lucky, in Canada we pay 5.97 (canadian) for 12 cans which I think contain 12 oz or 355 ml. I have not seen the bottles anywhere yet but I sure wish they would bring the price down a bit as this is more than double what we can get a case of soda for.

one serving has 11 mg caffeine, but the bottle is 16.9 oz so drinking the whole bottle would be 22 mg caffeine. A regular can of pepsi has 25 mg of caffeine for comparison.

how much caffeine does Lipton Green Tea have? I love it but am very sensitive to caffeine. It seems that every time I drink it I am awake all hrs of the night.

I've been drinking this daily for awhile. I've never known this to have caffeine. I don't know where those other comments are getting their information from. I have the bottle in front of me, and there is no mention of any caffeine.

I also love the lipton diet green tea both citrus and wild berry. I will continue to drink them however i do wish they would replace the sweetener with something that was better for you. However i do realize that if they did that it would probably change the calories and everything else involved. I found it in Walmart- Quincy, IL

I can't believe everyone is asking how much caffeine is in a bottle of this diet tea. Within this blog, the web address has been given twice to this information (Ctrl+F Pepsi), AND the amount of caffeine was listed three times. There is 11mg of caffeine in 8 oz of this drink, so if you have a 16.9 oz. bottle, that's 22 mg of caffeine, which is a little less than a 12 oz. can of Pepsi.

I agree with Diana. Read the previous replies.

I must agree that caffeine is not listed on the label; this is misleading. I too am usually caffeine sensitive, but even after drinking the diet green tea all day, I haven't had trouble sleeping.

It has become my drink of choice now. I love the level of sweetness and the wonderful citrus taste!

Thanks, Lipton!

I'm 16 and am a complete soda addict...but i saw this is stator bros one day and since it was so cheap, I decided to give it a try...I loved the citrus flavored but not as much as the green tea with mixed berry or the white tea with rasberry...you can get both those favors in diet... What I specially loved about the drink was that it wasn't fake tasting or too sweet...this is a way healthier alternative to soda and is a lot cheaper....
