Yes, that is a photo of a box of tea and yes, it is the Liptons brand. I’m not sure why myuibe took the photo, but it has relevance for me, because I used to drink it a lot when I lived in China.
They have the full range of different Liptons tea products. That’s the Lemon flavoured one in the photo above. I preferred the straight green tea option. You can get black tea too (although note that the Chinese call it Red Tea, because of the colour when you add water). I also took a liking to Liptons Milk Tea instant tea powder.
As for it being Liptons, well you can get almost all the major Western brands in China these days, especially in the bigger cities. Lays chips, Snickers Bar, Pantene Shampoo, anything by Nestle, you name it. That’s just the start. The big companies have moved into China in a big way in the last 5 years.
