Curator note · Twinings
Lemon and green tea is the oldest, safest flavoured-green pairing, and this is a clean, well-judged take on it: bright zesty lemon over a light green base with no bitterness pulling at the edges. There is nothing clever or unexpected here, which is rather the point, it is the dependable default when you want green tea with a citrus lift and no surprises. Contains caffeine, so daytime, and it is reliably good iced. The everyday workhorse of the Twinings flavoured greens.
Lee Samuel Tucker · Curator · teas.co.uk

Twinings Lemon Green Tea is the citrus-bright flavoured green tea from the Twinings range, the standard green tea base scented with natural lemon notes, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the morning-citrus alternative to a plain Pure Green Tea or the standard fruit-flavoured green-tea variants.

The green tea provides the structural backbone with its soft vegetal note, while the lemon flavouring sits on top as the lead, the bright clean citrus lift that pairs naturally with green tea and makes the cup feel like a proper morning brew rather than a dessert-style flavoured green.

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 daytime upgrade over a plain Sencha bag and a clean morning lift.

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.

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 Lemon Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g Compare to:

    • Pukka Supreme Green: Twinings Lemon 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 Lemon 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 Lemon 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 in China to ensure the technical integrity of the steamed and pan fired tea leaves.

Ideal Brewing Conditions:

  • Brew It Hot: Boil the kettle then allow the water to cool for about a minute 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 bitterness.

  • Steep Time: Steep for exactly 3 minutes then remove the bag to achieve the perfect balance of citrus and tea.

The Tea Master Brewing Instructions:

  • Measure: Place one individual foil sealed bag in your favourite cup or pre warmed mug.

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

  • Steep: Wait for 3 minutes to allow the natural Lemon flavouring to fully hydrate.

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

The Tea Master Secret (Cold Brew & Iced Tea):

  • Iced Lemon 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 Lemon and a sprig of mint for a refreshing summer ritual.

  • Lemon 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 zesty citrus notes for a bracing and sophisticated non alcoholic refreshment.
