A POPULAR flavor of Lipton tea is returning to store shelves after fans slammed the company for removing the blend.
Shoppers were furious that the brand’s white tea raspberry drink had disappeared from outlets nationwide.
But, the brand has confirmed on Twitter that the flavor will once again become a permanent fixture on the shelves.
Lipton teased that it's giving away “something special” to mark the drink’s return.
The brand has encouraged its thousands of Twitter followers to enter a competition in a bid to win a white raspberry tea gift set.
Hundreds of fans online have welcomed the return of the drink.
Rachel Brazelton (@RachelBrazelto2) described the news as “exciting.”
Vikki Torres (@VikkiTorres1014) posted: “This is one of the best tasting teas EVER! I'm so glad it's back!”
It’s not yet known when bottles of white tea raspberry will be on supermarket shelves nationwide.
Fans have been urging Lipton to bring back the popular tea for months.
One shopper, known as Lady Voxnee, posted online: “I just really wish White Tea Raspberry was back.
“I was so sad to see it was no longer on my store shelves.. any of them. That flavor was perfection.”
Lex said: “Please bring back white tea raspberry. I’m missing it so much!”
The fan claimed that no other drink compares to the beloved treat.
Frustrated parent Shelby Cormier (@Scormier731) also urged the company to bring back the drink.
She said: “Please bring back the Raspberry White tea! It’s my 8-year-old's favorite drink and he’s so sad we can’t find it anymore!!!!”
Shoppers claimed they’ve been “begging” major retailers to supply the drink for months.
Meanwhile, Lipton is also launching a new range of “hard” iced teas that contain alcohol.
The refreshments come in four flavors: lemon, strawberry, peach, and “half and half.”
It’s not yet known when the product will hit the shelves as the drink is listed as “coming soon” on the Lipton website.
But a 12-pack of cans has already been listed on the Kroger website, meaning it could be coming very soon.
