Lipton Pure Leaf Extra Sweet Tea

Pure Leaf Extra Sweet Tea is a ready-to-drink bottled iced tea that reads like a small piece of American summertime: an 18.5 fl oz plastic bottle with a twist cap, label art that emphasizes "brewed from real leaves" and the phrase "sweetened with real sugar." Store placement: you'll most often see it in the refrigerated beverage aisle or cold vault near other bottled teas, lemonades and iced coffees, and sometimes on shelf-stable beverage racks alongside other RTD teas and juices. Occasions: it lives in grab-and-go moments — backyard barbecues, convenience-store pit stops on road trips, game-day coolers and picnic baskets. Brand positioning: Pure Leaf projects a crafted, slightly artisanal image within a mass-market portfolio, appealing to shoppers who want an authentic or "real" product without brewing at home; its marketing skews toward adults who value convenience and a familiar Southern iced-tea aesthetic. Label characteristics: the front label leans on health-halo cues like "brewed from real leaves" and "real sugar," but there is no organic certification; the design and sweetness level make it broadly kid-friendly without explicitly being children's branding. Processing context: in plain terms this is commercially brewed, pasteurized, and bottled — a processed ready-to-drink product. Sensory details: cold and syrupy on first sip with pronounced sweetness and smooth black-tea tannins behind it; mouthfeel is slightly viscous from the sugar. Ritual context: people buy it to grab and drink straight from the bottle, to pour over ice at a meal, or to stash in a cooler for outdoor gatherings, where its extra-sweet profile reads as refreshment and nostalgia.
