Twinings Cleanse Matcha, 20 Tea Bags 40g
Cleanse is the product name and nothing more; it is not an effect that teas.co.uk claims. Twinings describes the cup as vegetal matcha with sweet fennel seed and fresh citrus notes; I am treating that as the maker’s description, not our own tasting trial. This is a green-tea blend in tea bags, not loose matcha powder. It contains caffeine, but the current pack gives no exact caffeine amount. I make no claim about the time of day to drink it or any effect on the body.
Twinings Cleanse Matcha, in brief.
Twinings Cleanse Matcha is a lemon-flavoured green tea blend with matcha, fennel and added manganese, supplied as 20 individually enveloped tea bags in a 40g box. The current formula is Green Tea (36%), Fennel Seeds (26%), Matcha (15%), Natural Lemon Flavouring with Other Natural Flavouring (8%), Dandelion Root, Lemon Peel (6%), Manganese.
Twinings describes the cup as vegetal notes of matcha with sweet fennel seed and fresh citrus notes in a bright, fresh blend. This is attributed manufacturer wording, not a teas.co.uk tasting trial.
Use freshly boiled water and infuse one bag for at least 3 minutes. The product contains green tea and matcha, so it contains caffeine; no product-specific caffeine amount is claimed. Twinings currently labels it vegan and sugar free.
Claim boundary: The word “Cleanse” belongs to the product name alone; teas.co.uk claims nothing for what the tea does inside you. The current authorised pack statement is: Manganese contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Product boundary: “Cleanse” is simply the name Twinings gave the product. teas.co.uk makes no claim that drinking it does anything to the body.
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. We run same-day UK dispatch on every order placed before 2pm Monday to Friday. Storage notes and brewing guidance are also published in the detailed Q and A tab below.

What is verified
- Identity: Twinings Superblends Cleanse Matcha is a lemon flavoured green tea with matcha, fennel and added manganese, in 20 envelopes weighing 40g.
- Ingredients: Green Tea (36%), Fennel Seeds (26%), Matcha (15%), Natural Lemon Flavouring with Other Natural Flavouring (8%), Dandelion Root, Lemon Peel (6%), Manganese.
- Taste: Twinings describes vegetal notes of matcha with sweet fennel seed and fresh citrus notes in a bright, fresh blend. These are the manufacturer's own words, not the result of an independent tasting trial or score from teas.co.uk.
- Caffeine: the formula contains green tea and matcha and therefore contains caffeine. Neither the current pack nor the current manufacturer page gives a product-specific caffeine amount.
Nutrition and manganese
For a 200ml serving brewed for 3 minutes, Twinings declares 7kJ/2kcal, 0g fat, 0g saturates, less than 0.5g carbohydrate, less than 0.5g sugars, 0g protein, 0g salt and 0.5mg manganese (25% reference intake). The current authorised statement is: Manganese contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. That statement is the only claim, and nothing broader about the body is claimed here.
Dietary, packaging and storage boundaries
Twinings currently labels the blend vegan and sugar free. Check the current UK pack if allergens or cross-contact matter; teas.co.uk does not infer gluten-, dairy-, nut-, wheat- or soy-free status solely from the ingredient list.
The current manufacturer page describes the tea bags as plant based and certified industrially compostable, the carton as recyclable and the foil wrap as recyclable at larger supermarkets. Follow current pack and local-authority guidance. No broader plastic-free, sourcing, certification or environmental-superiority claim is made.
Use the best-before and storage directions on the current pack. No claim is made about safety after the date, how long it stays fresh, or the best time of day or occasion to drink it.
