OT: Why has Lipton Stopped selling Orange pekoe tea
After using this brand and grade for over 70 years, it seems to have vanished from the shelves here, being replaced by Black Tea. We were forced to buy Lipton Black tea, after checking at all the stores in town, tonight will tell the til, I may be going back to Coffee! I tried Green Tea, because they said it was healthy, it tastes like CRAP, so it must be, I threw it in the trash where it belongs, still got a new full box, didn't want to abuse the Rats. I tried to give it away, no-one would take it.
I suppose they cut down the trees they were getting the tea leaves down, and replanted Cocaine! Jim

If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

Re: OT: Why has Lipton Stopped selling Orange pekoe tea
So, orange pekoe is actually a specific grade and size of BLACK TEA.
Hmmmm.
I actually prefer green tea . . .

Re: OT: Why has Lipton Stopped selling Orange pekoe tea
Went to their web site, as usual Corp Web sites are a waste of time, Fluff and No Stuff! So i'll just guess, as Orange pekoe is a grading standard not a product name, they got into trouble using it as such (After over 100 Years), so they changed to Dark Tea, now they can use a lesser grade in their products, cutting costs, and maybe raise the price. Anyway I had the BLACK Tea tonight, I can live withit, may be a little stronger. Still a stupid way to run a Business. Jim

Re: OT: Why has Lipton Stopped selling Orange pekoe tea
By calling it Black tea, they don't have to explain what they sweep up in it. You are probably correct. At least it doesn't taste like Green Tea.

Re: OT: Why has Lipton Stopped selling Orange pekoe tea
ABSOLUTELY wrong. Orange Pekoe ISN'T a grade of tea, and changing the name DOESN'T change what it's made of.Goofproof wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 3:15 pmWent to their web site, as usual Corp Web sites are a waste of time, Fluff and No Stuff!

You CAN be an ignorant elitist and think it, but that DOESN'T make it correct.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_leaf_grading: "The highest grades for Western and South Asian teas are referred to as "orange pekoe", and the lowest as "fannings" or "dust". Pekoe tea grades are classified into various qualities, each determined by how many of the adjacent young leaves (two, one, or none) were picked along with the leaf buds. Top-quality pekoe grades consist of only the leaf buds, which are picked using the balls of the fingertips. Fingernails and mechanical tools are not used to avoid bruising. "
There are *many* more references that say you're wrong.

Did you happen to be looking in a mirror when you wrote that.
Would explain a lot.
