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.
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.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
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.
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.

How Does Twinings Apple and Pear Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g Compare to:
brew.
Ideal Brewing Conditions:
-
Brew it Hot: Boil the kettle then allow the water to cool for about 2 minutes to around 80 degrees Celsius to protect the delicate leaves.
-
Thermal Integrity: Do not use fully boiling water as this can scald the Green Tea and create immediate bitterness.
-
Steep Time: Steep for 2 to 3 minutes maximum then remove the bag to achieve the perfect fruity balance.
The Tea Master Brewing Instructions:
-
Measure: Place one individual tea bag in your favourite cup or pre warmed mug.
-
Pour: Add 200 millilitre of hot water at 80 degrees Celsius directly over the bag to activate the orchard oils.
-
Steep: Wait for 2 minutes to allow the natural Apple and Pear flavouring to fully hydrate.
-
Enjoy: Best savoured plain for a crisp lift although it is exceptional when served as a chilled summer refresh.
The Tea Master Secret (Cold Brew & Iced Tea):
-
Iced Fruit Refresh: Brew a strong hot infusion using two bags in 150 millilitre of water. Once steeped, allow to cool completely then pour into a tall glass filled with ice. Add a slice of fresh apple and a sprig of mint.
-
Orchard Green Spritz: Brew one bag in 100 millilitre of hot water for 3 minutes. Once cooled, top with sparkling water and a touch of honey. The carbonation highlights the sharp apple notes for a bracing and sophisticated non alcoholic refreshment.
