Buy This & Not That: Lipton Tea

After doing this list, I have to say I am a little disappointed. I am a big fan of Lipton's 100% Natural Green Tea with citrus. You know, the kind that is already in the bottle. It is so good, but apparently not too good for you. But, I do also enjoy regular tea brewed at home so no big loss there.

I could clearly see a pattern while making this list. The tea that is unsweetened or the kind you brew yourself is good while the kinds that are premade are bad. It's pretty much common sense, but it just clicks even more when you see all the ingredients. Anyway, here is the list:
