Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g
Bright mango is the obvious hook, but the lychee is what makes this worth choosing: a soft, perfumed, almost floral sweetness that lifts it above the usual tropical-fruit green. And unlike the Tetley mango green, where the fruit buries the tea entirely, the green base here stays clean and present, so it drinks like a proper flavoured tea rather than juice. It does contain caffeine, so it is a daytime cup, and it is excellent over ice. The pick if you want tropical without losing the tea underneath.
Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea, in brief.
Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea is the tropical flavoured green tea from the Twinings range, the standard green tea base flavoured with mango and lychee fruit notes, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the tropical-fruit alternative to a plain Pure Green Tea or a jasmine green tea.
The green tea provides the structural backbone with its soft vegetal note, while the mango and lychee flavourings sit on top as the tropical lead, the mango giving the rounded sweetness and the lychee bringing its distinctive perfumed-grape character that distinguishes this cup from a simple peach or pineapple green tea. Twinings have built the recipe so the fruit reads cleanly rather than tipping syrupy.
A twenty-bag Twinings household pack at an accessible price, a sensible tropical green tea for anyone tired of plain Sencha and wanting something more interesting than the usual peach or pineapple flavoured green tea bag.
Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea adds a dash of exotic fruit to the everyday routine. This radiant blend captures the heart of traditional Green Tea processing while introducing the sunny notes of succulent mango and fragrant lychee. It is made for a tea break that refreshes the palate and gives you a moment of light hearted escape. For people who build a proper pause into their day, Mango and Lychee earns its place. Think of it as a brief, all expenses paid trip to the tropics, minus the sunburn and the long haul flight.
Curator notes: these Mango and Lychee notes are ours: we read the current box and Twinings' spec sheet, then brewed it as the pack suggests to check them. The Q and A tab further down has storage, freshness and brewing temperature details for Mango and Lychee.

The Story Behind the Twinings
In 1706 Thomas Twining began trading at 216 Strand, London, and his shop is still open, the oldest tea shop anywhere in continuous trade. For nine generations the business stayed with the Twining family; its ambassador today is Stephen Twining. Queen Victoria's warrant came in 1837, and the Royal Household still drinks Twinings tea.
