The unusual thing here is the origin: this is a Kenyan green, not the usual Chinese or Japanese leaf, grown on the equator and plucked to a two-leaves-and-a-bud standard, then blended by the Polish Mokate family. That equatorial terroir gives it a clean grassy freshness with a faint floral note and notably low bitterness, so it is a forgiving everyday green rather than a connoisseur ceremony. It does contain caffeine. Ignore the longevity-and-focus wording; the genuine reason to try it is that a good Kenyan green tastes different from the Chinese ones you already know.
Loyd Green Tea is the standard pure green tea pyramid from Loyd, the Polish broadleaf pyramid range owned by Mokate, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the central European alternative to the Twinings, Tetley and Yorkshire green-tea boxes, the same kind of accessible everyday green tea but with the Loyd pyramid format that gives the leaf more room to open.
The cup is a soft pale-gold liquor with a clean vegetal note, leaning closer to a light Chinese green than to a grassier Japanese Sencha, and the pyramid format makes a noticeable difference to the cup compared with the same kind of leaf in a flat square bag. Loyd is the supermarket green tea bought in volume across Poland, the Czech Republic and the wider central European market, and the 40-bag household format is the natural everyday size.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
A forty-bag Loyd household pack at an accessible price, the proper way to taste the central European answer to the British supermarket green-tea shelf, and a useful daily green tea at a notably lower price per cup than the Twinings Pure Green Tea sibling.
Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature. Storage notes, freshness windows and brewing temperature ranges are also published in the detailed Q and A tab below.
Loyd Green Tea exists as a functional upgrade for the health conscious individual who finds standard green tea too bitter or dusty. This blend represents a unique convergence of origins: grown on the equator in the Kenyan highlands where the sun is consistent, and processed by the Polish masters at Mokate to preserve the delicate volatile oils.
It is the perfect choice for the individual who views their tea as a tool for longevity and focus in 2026. By utilising a "two leaves and a bud" plucking standard, Loyd ensures a higher concentration of young, tender leaves that yield a bright, golden green liquor with a refreshing finish.

How Does Loyd Green Tea, 40 Tea Bags 76g Compare to:
- Pukka Supreme Green: Loyd Green Tea, 40 Tea Bags 76g offers a more distinct flavour profile and competitive pricing versus the mass market alternative; the difference is most noticeable in the second half of the cup when Pukka Supreme Green starts to thin out.
- Clipper Green: where Clipper Green leans into a single dominant note, Loyd Green Tea, 40 Tea Bags 76g delivers a more balanced and aromatic experience designed for daily drinking rather than as an occasional treat.
- Twinings Pure Green: both occupy a similar price band and shelf position, but Loyd Green Tea, 40 Tea Bags 76g differentiates through its certified sourcing, ethical packaging and the Loyd brand heritage outlined above.
🔥 Ideal Brewing Conditions
To unlock the full potential of your Loyd Green Tea, specific thermal techniques are required to prevent the leaves from burning.
The Barista Hot Serve
-
Measure: Place one tea bag in your favourite cup or pre warmed mug.
-
Water: Crucial: Do not use boiling water. Let the kettle cool for 2 to 3 minutes after boiling (aim for 80°C). Boiling water makes green tea bitter.
-
Steep: Infuse for 2 to 3 minutes. This short steep releases the sweet, grassy notes and antioxidants without drawing out heavy tannins.
-
Finish: Best drunk plain, or with a slice of lemon to enhance antioxidant absorption in 2026.
The Iced Green Tonic
-
Concentrate: Cold steep 3 bags overnight in a litre of water for a slow, sweet extraction.
-
Serve: Mix with fresh ginger slices, lemon juice, and honey over plenty of ice.
-
Result: A crisp, refreshing iced green tea that acts as a perfect antioxidant packed cooler for hot afternoons.
🫖 Brewing The Perfect Cup of Loyd Green Tea, 40 Tea Bags 76g
- Water temperature: 80°C (boil the kettle and let it rest for 90 seconds). Boiling water at 100°C destroys the delicate amino acids that give green tea its smooth, sweet character.
- Measure: One bag per 200ml of water (a standard mug). For loose leaf, use one heaped teaspoon.
- Steep: 2 to 3 minutes, any longer and the cup turns bitter. Remove the bag promptly; do not squeeze.
- Service: No milk and no sugar; the natural sweet grassy notes need nothing else. A slice of lemon brightens the cup if you prefer.
- Cold brew: Drop one bag into 250ml of cold water in a glass jug and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours. The cold method extracts the sweeter compounds preferentially and is the smoothest way to drink green tea on a hot day.
- Iced version: Brew double strength (one bag in 100ml of 80°C water for 2 minutes), cool, pour over ice and dilute with cold water.
- Best with: sushi, sashimi, steamed rice dishes, dark chocolate, almond cake.
