Twinings Ginger Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g
An unusual one: a properly bold, pungent ginger kick, but riding a clean green tea base rather than the usual herbal one, with lemongrass adding a citrus lift. That green base keeps it lighter and fresher than a heavy herbal ginger while still bringing real heat; it is a brisk warmer for the daytime, and less at home late in the evening. The catch most ginger drinkers miss: because there is real green tea here, it has caffeine. Pay no attention to the marketing wording; buy it if you want ginger that warms without weighing the cup down.
Twinings Ginger Green Tea, in brief.
Twinings Ginger Green Tea is the ginger-spiced green tea from the Twinings range, the standard green tea base blended with ginger root for a brisk citrussy cup with a faint warming kick, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the spice-led alternative to the floral jasmine or fruity peach green-tea variants in the same brand range.
The green tea provides the structural body, giving the cup its pale-gold colour and the familiar soft vegetal note, while the ginger sits underneath as the warming spice layer that pulls the cup towards a savoury-brisk direction rather than the sweet-fruit angle the rest of the flavoured green-tea aisle defaults to. The recipe from Twinings keeps the ginger gentle, so it does not tip into a harsh lemon and ginger territory; the cup is more of a breakfast green tea with a spice lift than a winter warmer.
A twenty-bag Twinings household pack at an accessible price for the flavoured green-tea tier, a sensible everyday cup for anyone who finds plain Sencha too austere and wants a small ginger warmth on top without committing to a full Lemon and Ginger herbal infusion at the price of the proper green-tea body underneath, the cup more interesting than a plain green tea and more drinkable than a heavier spice tea across the daytime hours.
Twinings Ginger Green Tea is a green tea with ginger root in it, for anyone who wants a touch of fiery warmth in an everyday cup. This dynamic blend captures the heart of traditional herbal blending by pairing the cooling properties of Green Tea with the heating energy of Ginger root.
It suits anyone who takes the tea break seriously and wants a cup that wakes the palate with natural ingredients. And if ginger is something you reach for most days, 20 bags in the box keeps you stocked for a while.
Curator notes: our taste notes are editorial: we read the brand spec sheet against the pack as it is packaged now, then brewed the ginger tea at the time and temperature Twinings suggests. The Q and A tab goes into storage, freshness and brewing temperature for Ginger Green Tea in detail.

The Story Behind the Twinings
Thomas Twining opened for business in 1706 at 216 Strand, London, and that original shop is still open today; no tea shop anywhere has been in continuous operation for longer. It was in the hands of the Twining family for nine generations, with Stephen Twining as its present ambassador. In 1837 Queen Victoria granted Twinings its Royal Warrant, and the UK Royal Household still receives tea from the company.
