For a tea tasting, offer assorted LIPTON teas along with their descriptive packaging. Pamper your guests taste buds—all 10,000 or so of them—with three new exotic flavours including Asian White, South African Red and Sri Lankan Gold blends. liptontea.ca

This higher-grade tea needs room to move, so LIPTON’s new pyramid-shaped tea bag allows the long leaves to flow freely and also provides better contact with water to enhance infusion of the leaves’ flavour when steeping.This higher-grade tea needs room to move, so LIPTON’s new pyramid-shaped tea bag allows the long leaves to flow freely and also provides better contact with water to enhance infusion of the leaves’ flavour when steeping.

Open a few bags and display the loose tea to actually touch and observe the leaf variations:
•The Asian White tea originates from the mountain tops of China’s Fujian province. Ying meets yang as the youngest buds of the tea plant known as Silver Tips are combined with carefully selected long tea leaves to give this naturally sweet Asian blend a perfect flavour balance of apricot with floral notes.
• Sri Lankan Gold tea is nurtured under the warm sun of the Ceylon Gardens. These tea leaves are meticulously picked by hand, blended with the finest refined teas of Vietnam, and enriched with golden sunflower petals to create a mysterious medley of honey, vanilla and cinnamon.
• The third flavour, the lush South African Red tea, is cultivated in nutrient-rich fields. This herbal-based red tea known as Rooibos has been hand-picked and blended with black tea leaves to create a silky smooth cup of tea with subtle hints of spice and vanilla.

Like a wine tasting, share comments while comparing the delicate tastes and scents. Serve in white teacups to display the teas’ different colours.
