Twinings Lemon Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g
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.
Twinings Lemon Green Tea, in brief.
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.
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.
Twinings Lemon Green Tea puts a bit of sunshine into the working day. Traditional green tea leaves are infused with natural lemon for a bright, lively cup. A good pick for tea breaks that should leave you feeling brighter. If a proper break is part of how your day works, the Lemon Green fits in easily.

The Story Behind the Twinings
Twinings dates from 1706 and Thomas Twining's shop at 216 Strand in London, which still trades and is the oldest continuously open tea shop in the world. The Twining family stayed in charge for nine generations, and Stephen Twining represents the company today. Queen Victoria granted Twinings its Royal Warrant in 1837; today the company supplies tea to the Royal Household.
