"Lipton: A Legacy of Sailing and Tea" From the exhilarating races of Shamrock V to the historic sailing yachts White Heather and Shamrock, Lipton's connection with the maritime world runs deep. As we picture an ox-pulled wagon transporting Lipton tea, it becomes evident that this iconic brand has always been intertwined with adventure. In 1914, America's Cup challenger Shamrock IV sailed gracefully without its topsail, showcasing both elegance and power on the open water. The cutter Shamrock also left a lasting impression as it triumphantly beat upwind, leaving spectators in awe of its speed and skill. The J-Class yachts Shamrock V and Britannia took center stage in 1934, captivating audiences with their beauty and grace. Crafted by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, these vessels were a testament to Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton's passion for sailing. Speaking of Sir Thomas himself - a British grocer turned yachtsman - his dedication to both business and sport was truly remarkable. In 1926, artist Alick P F Ritchie captured his essence perfectly in a portrait that showcased his determination and love for the sea. The launch of Shamrock V marked another milestone for Lipton's sailing legacy. This magnificent vessel stood as a symbol of innovation and ambition - qualities that have defined the brand since its inception. Beyond sailing adventures, Sir Thomas it also indulged in steam yacht Erin during the early 1900s. This luxurious vessel allowed him to explore new horizons while enjoying moments of tranquility amidst nature's wonders. Let us not forget Pooprassie in Sri Lanka - home to one of Lipton's tea factories. Nestled amidst lush greenery, this picturesque location serves as a reminder that every sip we take carries centuries-old traditions blended with modern expertise. Lipton is more than just tea.
