Enjoy a warm cup of

Health and Vitali-TEA

Whether keeping New Year’s resolutions for better health or keeping the harsh winter at bay, a refreshing cup of hot tea can warm the mind and body. Tea provides a powerful punch of flavonoid antioxidants, and as part of a healthy diet, regular tea drinking may help maintain a healthy heart. With 150 to 200mg per cup, tea provides more flavonoid antioxidants than a serving of broccoli, cranberry juice or orange juice. Some scientific evidence suggests that drinking three or more cups of black tea per day, as part of a low-saturated-fat and low-cholesterol diet, may reduce the risk of heart disease.

New flavors like Cranberry Pomegranate Green Tea and Decaf Honey Lemon Green Tea will revitalize you. Tea is not only delicious, but it’s also a perfect source of natural goodness. With unique expertise growing and blending the best teas, no one knows how to unlock the goodness of the tea leaf like Lipton.

“Lipton has become the source of the best teas in the world by growing their own tea and conducting extensive research programs so you always enjoy a delicious cup,” said Peter Goggi, Master Tea Taster for Unilever Foods, Inc.
