Where the plain Ginger Green is fresh and savoury, this is the dessert version: treacle and golden syrup turn the ginger into an actual gingerbread, all baked-cake aroma and biscuity sweetness, with the green tea well in the background. A festive sweet-tooth treat rather than an everyday cup, and best judged as one. There is real green tea in it, so it does carry caffeine; brew it off the boil so it does not sharpen under the sweetness. Genuinely Christmassy and well done for what it is.
Twinings Gingerbread Green Tea is the dessert-spiced green tea from the Twinings range, the standard green tea base flavoured with gingerbread spice notes (ginger, cinnamon, clove and a touch of vanilla), picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the seasonal-novelty alternative to a plain Pure Green Tea or the standard Mint, Apple and Pear green-tea variants.
The green tea provides the structural body, giving the cup its pale-gold colour, while the gingerbread spice quartet sits on top as the dessert lead, the cup drinking like a Christmas biscuit in mug form without ever quite tipping into a sweet syrupy chai latte direction. A polarising cup, much loved by gingerbread fans and best treated as a seasonal house tea.
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 tier, a novelty seasonal cup for anyone who loves gingerbread.

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 a maximum of 2 minutes to ensure the Ginger spice does not overpower the delicate Green Tea notes.
The Tea Master Brewing Instructions:
-
Measure: Place one individual string and tag envelope 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 spices.
-
Steep: Wait for 2 minutes to allow the natural golden syrup flavouring to fully hydrate.
-
Enjoy: Best savoured plain for a guilt free dessert profile although it is exceptional when served as a chilled holiday refresher.
The Tea Master Secret (Cold Brew & Iced Tea):
-
Iced Festive Sparkle: 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 orange and a cinnamon stick for a refreshing holiday ritual.
-
Gingerbread Latte Twist: Brew one bag in 100 millilitre of hot water for 2 minutes. Once steeped add 100 millilitre of frothed oat or almond milk and a drop of honey. The creaminess highlights the golden syrup notes for a bracing and sophisticated non alcoholic latte experience.
