They are claiming that the Swiss drink the most Lipton tea in the world
- over 7 liters per person per year. Seven liters in a year is not a
lot. I drink about 7 liters of tea in about two days. I would also
have thought that the US was a much bigger market for Lipton than
Switzerland. Could this be an error on the website?

I think the difference is in the name Lipton. Perhaps there isn't a
lot of competition for Lipton in Switzerland.

In the USA today there is Tetley, Rose, and several others. The US
market is also being invaded by "gourmet" everything including tea so
Twinnings and Stash are getting their share of the former Lipton
market.

Anyway, FWIW that would be my explanation of such an apparant mistake.
