Lipton White Tea with Island Mango & Peach Flavor

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | May 9, 2008

I was incredibly sick for the past 2 weeks with a stomach virus. This resulted in a short hospital stay and the inability to eat anything much for a week. The only thing that I could ingest with any regularity was tea. Luckily, Lipton has sent me a sample of their White Tea with Island Mango & Peach Flavor, so I was fully stocked.

The first thing I noticed was the pyramid shaped tea bags and the material is sort of like fine-mesh. Fancy. I enjoyed the light and subtle taste of peach, but I couldn't detect any hint of a mango flavor. As subtle as this tea is, after I drank a cup, there was an a slight acidic after-bite.

The beauty of tea is that there are no calories. The ingredients are white tea, green tea, orange leaves, rose hips, lemongrass, licorice root, modified corn starch and natural flavors. Hmmm ... I guess the "mango and peach" are in the 'natural flavors.' This also provides 75 mg of flavanoid antioxidants and 30 mg of caffeine per serving.

A pack of 6 boxes (18 tea bags each), cost $18.60 on Amazon.com - the reviews there are also favorable. I enjoyed this tea and look forward to trying the other flavors.
