Who here remembers these Lipton (Special Edition) iced tea drinks I believe Lipton used to make or some manufacture under Lipton! All I can remember was that these were glass bottles, there were 5-6 flavors, there were the Sky High Berry, Mango, a Strawberry Kiwi(??) and few others, they tasted really good, my favorite was Sky High Berry!! This was around back in 2001! Bring back any memories? They weren't around for long and were very rare!! What was the name of these beverages exactly?

It always astounds me what you can find when you type in certain words like "Lipton"& "Skyhigh Berry" into Google...


The drinks were a Tea and Juice Fusion drink made with cane sugar & ginseng called Matika

Pepsi/Lipton will do limited test in August (2001)  of "Matika" tea/juice line containing ginseng.  Package logo displays "Lipton" brand.  Promotional tagline:  "Find Your Fusion."   (There's) 5% juice in each flavor (and the drinks are) sweetened with 100% cane sugar.

(There were) five flavors:

"Mythical Mango" mango, pineapple and green tea, colored orange.  
"Magic Mombin" contains purple mombin juice and green tea, colored purple
"Rising Starfruit" contains guava berry starfruit and green tea, colored fuchsia

Wow! Thank you for finding that article!!  :) Yes, searching can be a hit or miss!! If I recall, these were discontinued the following year in 2002. I had forgotten that it was a fusion drink. it is kind of collector item to me.

There was a typo in the url, so I provided the correct url!

Those must've been very tasty.

Everybody remembers Surge but I seem to be the only one to remember a pop called Jausta even though you could get it about anywhere. Then there was Kick. Anybody remembers those flavored carbonated waters that came in Peach, Strawberry/kiwi, grape and one other flavor?
