Lipton’s Infusion Grand Sud, with its pyramid tea bags, offers a richer flavor experience.
I picked this one up at a supermarket in France.
This tea immediately introduced me to the distinctive taste of licorice. While today we often use artificial sweeteners like sucralose, licorice has long been a natural source of sweetness, commonly used in food and traditional herbal remedies. Even now, licorice remains a popular ingredient due to its unique sweet profile.
Unlike artificial sweeteners or honey, the sweetness of licorice doesn’t linger. It’s only there for a brief moment when it first touches your tongue. Strangely enough, once you swallow, the sweetness disappears, leaving behind a refreshing minty finish.

Lipton’s Infusion Grand Sud, with its base of licorice and peppermint, is a delightful infusion without caffeine, making it a great option for any time of day. Its flavor remains consistent even if you steep it for a long time.
The pyramid tea bags allow for better infusion, ensuring all the ingredients blend perfectly with the water. As the pioneers of the tea bag, Lipton continues to show its dedication to making tea time enjoyable and accessible.
Lipton also supports sustainability with its PEFC certification. The brand uses ingredients sourced from farms they manage, contributing to a sustainable environment, fair trade practices, and biodiversity protection. These issues are critical for companies today, and Lipton is no exception.

For the best experience, Lipton recommends brewing the Infusion Grand Sud at 100°C for 5 minutes. No need to add anything extra—just the pyramid tea bag will do.
The flavor surprised me. It’s a unique blend of roasted, nutty notes like those in genmaicha, combined with a fresh hint of lemon and a deep, honey-like sweetness. It’s quite a curious tea.

What’s particularly interesting is that despite its strong sweetness in the cup, the aroma is light and reminds me of green tea. But as soon as you take a sip, it’s an entirely different experience—rich, heavy, and almost like eating honey. And yet, once you swallow, your palate is left completely refreshed, as if you had just sipped on roasted rice tea -μλ-.
This tea offers a series of contrasts and surprises during a single cup. Whether enjoyed hot or chilled, the blend of sweetness and crispness showcases Lipton’s signature appeal. Though the product name may not be familiar, this unexpected find from Lipton left me feeling refreshed and intrigued once again.
