LCurator note · Twinings
The homely one next to the tropical Mango and Lychee: crisp orchard apple up front, soft floral pear rounding it, over a green base that stays clean and present rather than buried. It is comforting and familiar instead of exotic, the autumn-orchard green for people who want fruit without anything showy. Real green tea means caffeine, so a daytime cup, and it holds up well chilled too. Nothing surprising here, just an easy, well-balanced everyday fruit-green that does exactly what it says.

About this tea
Twinings Apple and Pear Green Tea, in brief.
Twinings Apple and Pear Green Tea is the orchard-fruit flavoured green tea from the Twinings range, the standard green tea base flavoured with apple and pear notes, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the soft British-fruit alternative to the louder tropical Mango and Lychee or the dessert-style Salted Caramel green tea variants in the Twinings line.
The green tea provides the structural backbone, giving the cup its pale-gold colour and the familiar soft vegetal note, while the apple and pear flavourings sit on top as the lead, the apple giving the brighter sweeter fruit edge and the pear bringing a softer rounder middle that distinguishes this from a plain apple-flavoured green tea. Twinings have built the recipe so the fruit reads cleanly rather than tipping syrupy, the cup drinking like a clean orchard-fruit infusion underpinned by a proper green-tea structure.
A twenty-bag Twinings household pack at an accessible price for the supermarket flavoured-green tier, a sensible everyday flavoured green tea for anyone who finds the louder tropical green-tea blends too aggressive and wants the softer British-orchard direction instead, the cup more drinkable than a plain green but never as candy-sweet as the Salted Caramel sibling.
Twinings Apple and Pear Green Tea serves as a functional foundation for those seeking to integrate a touch of fruity sweetness into a modern daily routine. This vibrant blend captures the heart of traditional Green Tea processing while introducing the comforting notes of crisp apples and juicy pears.
It is the definitive choice for the drinker who views their tea break as a dedicated ritual for refreshing the palate and enjoying a moment of light hearted sweetness. It is the perfect choice for the individual who views their restorative ritual as a vital component of a productive and healthy lifestyle. Think of it as a liquid autumn harvest, minus the itchy wool sweaters and hay fever.

The Story Behind the Twinings
Twinings was founded by Thomas Twining in 1706 at 216 Strand, London, where the original shop still operates today, making it the world's oldest continuously operating tea shop. The Twining family ran the business for nine generations and Stephen Twining is the current ambassador. Twinings was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria in 1837 and supplies tea to the UK Royal Household today.
