## About <!--about-->
Pepsi/Lipton Tea Partnership is the name printed as the distributor on United States Brisk cans, at Purchase, New York 10577.[^smartlabel] It is the ready-to-drink tea joint venture that PepsiCo and Unilever founded in 1991 and that manages the Brisk brand.[^wikibrisk] Trade reporting in August 2026 described Pepsi Lipton as a company in its own right, with its own board of directors and five regional organisations, and confirmed that Unilever's agreement to merge its foods business with McCormick excludes the ready-to-drink tea venture, which stays in place and keeps Lipton Ice Tea co-owned.[^foodnav] No register entry for the partnership was located, so no register number or legal name is recorded here.
