Five innovative reformulated blends and fresh fruit flavors combine for a great smooth new taste. "2 Cups to Goodness" campaign brings green tea to Gen Z tea drinkers and shines the spotlight on two cups of green tea a day as an easy way to help support health daily and as a top source of flavonoids in the diet - naturally occurring bioactives found in tea, vegetables and fruit.

HOBOKEN, N.J., May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lipton, the #1 tea brand in the United States, is renovating its green tea portfolio range featuring five new varieties of reformulated blends and fresh fruit flavors. Setting a new benchmark for great, smooth taste with the innovative line, the delicious palette of flavors includes Signature Blend, Decaf, Lemon, Peach, and Honey Ginger, which began rolling out at major U.S. retailers and e-commerce in May.

"With reformulated blends and refreshing fruit flavors, I'm thrilled for tea drinkers to experience Lipton's great tasting green tea innovations that also support well-being," said Racquel Harris Mason, president, North America LIPTON Teas and Infusions. "We've developed a '2 Cups to Goodness' mantra, where incorporating two cups of Lipton Green Tea into your daily routine is a great tasting way to get flavonoids in your diet, the natural bioactives in tea that can help support your health."

Drinking two cups of Lipton Green Tea every day can help support health and well-being. In fact, two cups of green tea offer the same amount of flavonoids as 20 pounds of cooked broccoli. Flavonoids are naturally occurring bioactives (or plant compounds) found in tea. While flavonoids are found in many plant-based foods, like fruits and dark green veggies, tea is one of the top sources in the diet, making it a convenient way to help support health. 1,2,3,4,5
