About this product

Lipton Tchaé Thé Vert Menthe is a mint-flavoured green tea sold in France as 20 Pyramid bags in a 40 g carton box.[1] Its label lists green tea (82.4%, Rainforest Alliance certified), mint (8.8%) and natural flavouring, and names Ekaterra Global Operations B.V. in Rotterdam as the operator beside the ekaterra logo.[1] The box replaced the 25-bag 50 g Tchaé Menthe pack of Unilever France, with the front banner "Nouvel emballage recyclable" and the same mint share.[1][2] Auchan and Friandiz list it under this barcode.[3][4]

Ekaterra was Unilever's tea business; after its sale to CVC Capital Partners in 2022 it was renamed Lipton Teas and Infusions, which retailers now name as the operator.[5][3]
