However, there are some criticisms, which I will elaborate:
Above all, the quality of tea, the ball from Lipton as something special is touted us has, I am not convinced. We namely not know to what kind of tea is offered here under the name EARL GREY. The packaging is simply "black", but that is no real consumer information, because that I can see when I look at the tea bag. I would have been interested in the tea-growing region, but this information remains Lipton guilty. Which "flavors" be used accurately to imitate the flavor of bergamot here would also have been an important piece of information. But even at this point to mention from the manufacturer. For I learn that Marigold is included in a teabag. Well, that's unusual for an Earl Grey, but it should be with me.
Pronounced irritated me most was the information that this tea with a "certified" quality seal is provided, which is granted by a Rainforest Alliance. I looked around a bit on the Internet, what does that mean. I found the most informative to Greenpeace on their homepage. Even if there is spoken in connection with bananas on the importance of Rainforest Alliance, yet it is evident that this label can not be equated with fair trade products. And with organic tea cultivation this thing has nothing to do anyway, even if a green frog might suggest on the packaging so slightly.
CONCLUSION: good marketing, mediocre product quality, good taste with nothing special and a leading astray quality seal. One can buy the tea, but need not.
