I've been drinking Yellow Label Tea since the 80's. This is an excellent and versitile tea, makes for a good hot tea and also a refreshing iced tea. A bit stronger than regular "brisk lipton" tea typically found in the U.S. I used to have to wait until I traveled to the British Virgin Islands or the Bahamas to find this tea, but now it's on Amazon (darn, my excuses to travel are dwindling!). This is an Orange Pekoe tea in 200g bags. You can find different varieties of tea marked with the "Lipton Yellow Label" brand, usually loose leaf teas. For instance I have a Sri Lanka-packed metal tin of "Pure Ceylon," a box of "Coarse Black Tea" packed in Mumbai, and another "new bright & rich" Mumbai variety which is a blend of "Assam teas." These other varieties can be found in middle eastern, Indian, and Asian markets here in the US. All good teas, but this Orange Pekoe in the bags is the most convenient and has the smoothest flavour.

Traveling world wide, I've come to much prefer good tea to bad coffee, and good teas are so much more common.

Yellow Label is one of the most popular teas in the world because it has a rich, clean flavor without bitterness. Its clear distinctive red color makes it also one of the prettiest. The only supermarket teas I've found in the US that taste similar are the "English Breakfast" labels. If you like these, or like strong black tea flavor without the bitterness or muddiness of overbrewing the usual black teas, you should try Yellow Label.

I was first given a box of this Yellow Label from a co-worker who had traveled to China. I instantly fell in love with the smooth flavor. I found it in a Food Max in Stockton, Ca but then the store closed down. I have been on a search for the last two months because my loose leaf is almost gone also. I was brewing the tea for the staff in my office and they all love it, so when I ran out of tea bags they all wanted to know where I got the tea from. The flavor is so smooth that you almost do not need any type of sweetner at all. This should be made available in the states in at least one major grocery store. I am buying enough to share with my friends.....

. . . you'll love this one. I fell in love with this black tea blend when I lived in Europe, and was disappointed when I returned to America that I couldn't buy it here. One taste of this smooth tea and you might change from coffee. It's the best cup of tea you'll ever drink.

It has a distinct taste that differs from the regular Lipton. I wish it were more readily available in the stores in US.

I drink lots of hot tea. Don't confuse this with the Lipton Tea you find at the grocery. There is no comparison. This is the good stuff. I bought this at a local farmers market(Atlanta) and since they closed, no one else carries it, so I ordered it from Amazon. Specify "Yellow Label Tea".

I first enjoyed Yellow Label in the Caribbean 20 yrs ago and have since in travels worldwide been looked at oddly at groceries as I purchased 20 boxes to take home. There it was only tea, in the US it wasn't available...or oddly in London which appears on the label. A letter to Lipton 6 years ago gave no explanation for not marketing in the US, just "coupons to try our other brands". Finally, Amazon has it and even better a market in Chinatown here in NYC.
What makes it great? It's the only black tea that is full flavored but not bitter. It's so smooth that you literally can make a pot of it, leave the bags in, reheat it the next day and still have no bitterness. This is a tea lover's tea that I have turned numerous travel companions onto for life and something I would be lost without.

The Lipton Yellow Label tea is a step above the "regular" Lipton sold here in the States. This is your basic, everyday black tea but it is much more flavorful and bolder than the Lipton variety sold in supermarkets here. It brews a good, bracing cup of tea. I recommend it over the supermarket variety any day. I have used this to make iced tea as well and while it's good over ice, it is best served hot.

I recv'd this tea in great condition. The packing and timeliness were great. I love this tea. It takes me back to when I had our son in an Italian hospital near Pisa, Italy. They brought me Lipton Yellow Label Tea. That was many years ago and I never forgot how good it tasted or stopped looking to buy more once we left Europe. Hubby and I were talking about it and I thought of Amazon! It was right here. I'm enjoying it in the afternoon for a pick me up! Good stuff!

I must echo the praise of Lipton Yellow Label tea.

I don't know how this label may differ across countries, but recently I spent several month-long trips to Pakistan, where Lipton Yellow Label is pretty much all the black tea they serve, and tea is served all the time. After getting around the initial shock of their custom of putting up to four teabags into 16 ounces of water there, I came to like the Yellow Label tea. Then when switching a few times to Twinings tea at the hotel business center, I realized that Yellow Label is much better than all the tea I'd been drinking heretofore. Comparing Yellow Label to other Litpons, other tea available in America, and even Twinings, which I considered the top of the heap, Yellow Label was clearly better. A Pakistani friend who travels to the U.S. says that American tea is "insipid" and refuses to drink it. I now agree, and think that Lipton Yellow Tea is the best tea I have ever had. Now I've got to figure out where to buy it. As far as I'm concerned, Yellow Label is the tea most worth drinking, which no doubt accounts for its popularity in Pakistan.
