Curator note · Twinings
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, a brisk daytime warmer rather than a soothing evening cup. The catch most ginger drinkers miss: because there is real green tea here, it has caffeine. Ignore the wellness wording; buy it if you want ginger that warms without weighing the cup down.
Lee Samuel Tucker · Curator · teas.co.uk

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. Twinings have built the recipe so the ginger stays gentle rather than tipping into a medicinal lemon-and-ginger territory, the cup more breakfast green tea with a spice lift than a winter cold-and-flu warmer.

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 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.

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.

Twinings Ginger Green Tea serves as a functional foundation for those seeking to integrate a touch of fiery warmth into a modern daily routine.

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.

  • How Does Twinings Ginger Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g Compare to:

    • Pukka Supreme Green: Twinings Ginger Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g 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, Twinings Ginger Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g 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 Twinings Ginger Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g differentiates through its certified sourcing, ethical packaging and the Twinings brand heritage outlined above.

    brew.

  • Botanical Authenticity: We maintain long term relationships with growers to ensure the technical integrity of the steamed tea leaves and real Ginger root.

Ideal Brewing Conditions

  • Brew It Hot: Boil the kettle then allow the water to cool for about 2 minutes to around 80°C 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 exactly 3 minutes to allow the dried Ginger root to fully rehydrate and release its spice.

The Tea Master Brewing Instructions

  1. Measure: Place one individual tea bag in your favourite cup or pre warmed mug.

  2. Pour: Add 200 millilitre of hot water at 80°C directly over the bag to activate the volatile oils.

  3. Steep: Wait for 3 minutes to allow the Ginger and Lemongrass to fully hydrate.

  4. Enjoy: Best savoured plain for a fiery lift although it is exceptional when served as a chilled summer refresh.

The Tea Master Secret (Cold Brew & Iced Tea)

  • Iced Zesty Refresh: Brew a strong hot infusion using two bags in 150ml of water. Once steeped, allow to cool completely then pour into a tall glass filled with ice. Add a slice of fresh lemon and a teaspoon of honey.

  • Ginger Green Spritz: Brew one bag in 100ml of hot water for 3 minutes. Once cooled, top with sparkling water and a touch of lime. The carbonation highlights the spicy Ginger notes for a bracing, non alcoholic refreshment.
