LCurator note · Lipton
A frank dessert tea, and an unashamed one. Vanilla leads, rich and smooth rather than the thin synthetic note cheaper sweet teas rely on, and buttery caramel rounds it into something that really does taste like pudding in a cup. The black base is sensibly judged, smooth and present enough to give structure without bitterness fighting the sweetness, and the mouthfeel is properly silky. We also stock Dilmah Caramel, the simpler, straight toffee version; this Lipton is richer and doubly sweet with vanilla and caramel, so choose between one clean note and two layered ones. It is built for a splash of milk, which tips it into liquid-dessert territory, and it makes a smooth iced latte in summer. Strictly an after-dinner or treat cup, not an all-day tea, and not for anyone who wants their tea to taste of tea. Judged against other sweet treat teas, it is one of the better balanced. Ignore the box's livelier claims; this is comfort drinking, plain and simple.

About this tea
Lipton Black Tea with Vanilla and Caramel, in brief.
Lipton Black Tea with Vanilla and Caramel, 20 Tea Bags 34g is the pudding style black tea in Lipton's UK range, flavoured with natural vanilla extract and caramel, and very good alongside sweet bakes. Each carton holds twenty bags and keeps the cost per cup fair, aimed at British homes wanting Madagascar vanilla notes at a mainstream price. We hand picked it for teas.co.uk, where it sits with the other Lipton flavours.
Caffeine: caffeinated, with no milligram figure claimed for it.

Curator’s notes
Read the full write-up
Lipton Black Tea with Vanilla and Caramel tastes like a pudding yet is still a cup of tea, a fair swap for high calorie, sugar loaded drinks. Plain flavoured blends often taste thin or artificial; this one is put together for a smooth, dessert like cup from good black tea, vanilla beans and caramel. In Lipton's pyramid bags it is just as easy to brew in a home kitchen as at your desk, and dependable in both.
As an after dinner treat, this creamy Lipton Black Tea with Vanilla and Caramel is happiest with a splash of milk, and as a cold brew it makes a smooth iced latte. For curling up at home or for a break squeezed into a full day, it offers a rich, sweet cup and keeps Lipton's long held quality going into 2026.

- Flavour Expertise: This specific blend uses real vanilla beans and caramel pieces to ensure the most authentic and creamy profile possible.
- Packaging: Pack parts may go different ways, so read the vanilla caramel box and your council's rules.
Lipton Commitment To The Planet

Side by side
How does it compare
vs Twinings CaramelLipton offers a more modern pyramid bag design that provides a faster and more intense creamy infusion.

vs Clipper VanillaLipton's black tea base is sturdier, while Clipper tends to lean towards lighter, more floral teas.

Brewing
Brewing the perfect cup
Water temperature100°C, straight from the kettle, so the leaf releases all its theaflavins and thearubigins.
MeasureUse one bag in 200ml for a normal cup, or go to 2 bags in 300ml for a builder's brew.
Steep3 to 5 minutes, at the top of the range if milk is going in, nearer the bottom for a lighter pour.
ServiceFinish with full fat milk, a good splash, and sweeten as you please. Casein, a milk protein, balances the tannins, and that is why most tea in Britain is taken with milk.
Iced versionSteep 4 bags in 500ml for a sturdy vanilla base; while it is hot, let 4 tablespoons of caster sugar melt into it, then cool, and stretch with 500ml cold water plus the squeezed juice of 2 lemons.
CaffeineCaffeinated, with no milligram figure claimed for it.
Best withFruit cake, scones topped with cream, a full English breakfast or marmalade toast.
