Okay, so I’ve been trying to cut back on caffeine, especially in the evenings. I love a good cup of tea, but the regular stuff can keep me up at night. That’s where Lipton Decaf Black Tea comes in.

I picked up a box at the grocery store the other day – pretty standard packaging, nothing fancy. I was curious to see if it would actually taste like “real” tea.

The Brewing Process

I boiled some water, you know, the usual routine. Grabbed a mug and tossed in a tea bag. Poured the hot water over it and let it steep for a few minutes. I usually go for about 3-5 minutes for black tea, even the decaf kind. I like it strong-ish.

• Boil water.
• Place tea bag in mug.
• Pour water over tea bag.
• Steep for 3-5 minutes.

While it was steeping, I took a sniff. It smelled pretty much like regular Lipton, which was a good sign. No weird chemical smells or anything like that.

Taste Test Time!

After the steeping time, I removed the tea bag and gave it a good squeeze. Then I took a sip. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised! It tasted… like tea! Seriously, it’s pretty close to the regular Lipton black tea flavor. Maybe a tiny bit less bold, but definitely not watery or weak.

I added a splash of milk – that’s how I usually drink my tea. And yep, still good! It’s a nice, smooth, comforting cup of tea. I didn’t feel any jitters or anything afterwards, which is the whole point, right?

Overall, I’m pretty happy with this decaf option. I can now have that after work, I enjoy a relaxing cuppa without worrying about it,I think it will be work!
