LCurator note · Twinings
Real matcha is intense, slightly bitter and fiddly to whisk; this is the opposite, matcha powder blended into green tea bags and tuned for low bitterness, so it is the gentlest, most beginner-friendly way into the flavour. You still get grassy freshness and a real savoury umami note, only smoother, and with proper caffeine it belongs to the daytime rather than the evening. It is not ceremonial matcha and does not pretend to be. The metabolic-support line is marketing; the reason to buy it is that it is the easiest matcha to actually enjoy.

About this tea

Twinings Matcha, in brief.

Twinings Matcha is a bagged matcha-and-green-tea blend, Japanese matcha powder combined with green tea leaves in a pyramid bag, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the convenient introduction to matcha for drinkers not ready to whisk a ceremonial bowl every morning. In the cup: soft vegetal green tea up front, a fuller jade-green body from the matcha and a clean mineral finish typical of a good Japanese leaf.

The green tea does the structural backbone, giving the cup the familiar pale gold-green colour and the gentle savoury vegetal note any green-tea drinker will recognise, while the matcha powder sits underneath as the body-builder, adding the deeper jade-green tint and the fuller mouthfeel that distinguishes a matcha cup from a plain Sencha bag. Twinings use culinary-grade matcha here. The pyramid gives the leaf and matcha room to disperse during the brew.

Caffeine status: low to moderate, roughly twenty to forty milligrams a cup, the combined green tea and matcha giving slightly more lift than a plain bag of green tea. Taste profile: soft vegetal green tea up front balanced by the fuller body of matcha and a clean mineral finish. What it is: a Twinings Japanese matcha-and-green-tea bag, in the same family as the Twinings Pure Green Tea.

Curator notes: we wrote these matcha notes after reading the current pack and the Twinings spec sheet, then brewing it at the recommended time and heat. The matcha's storage, freshness windows and brewing temperatures appear again in the Q and A tab.

Curator’s notes

Read the full write-up
Twinings Matcha is a refined essential for the modern consumer seeking the benefits of matcha without the complex preparation. Unlike traditional powdered matcha which requires whisking, this infusion blends real Japanese matcha powder with high quality green tea leaves to create an accessible and smooth cup. Twinings puts that smooth, easy quality into a matcha tea bag for home.
For a very British pause in the afternoon, brew this smooth green tea pairs nicely with a focused work session or as a pre workout energiser. At home or on a busy day, the matcha gives a clean, fresh tasting cup made to Twinings' usual standard.

Side by side

How does it compare

vs Pure Matcha PowderPowder requires a whisk, bowl, and skill to prevent clumps. Twinings Matcha tea bags give the savoury taste of matcha with the ease of a simple tea bag, which makes them handy at the office or on the move.
vs Standard Green TeaWhile regular green tea is healthy, this Superblend is enriched with real matcha powder and fortified with manganese. That gives it more added nutrients than a plain green tea.
vs CoffeeFor those looking to reduce their coffee intake, this blend offers a gentler lift. The caffeine in green tea releases more slowly than coffee, avoiding the jitters and crash often associated with espresso.
Brewing

Brewing the perfect cup

Water temperature100°C, since only water straight off the boil brings every bit of theaflavin and thearubigin out of the matcha bag.
MeasureFor a standard cup use one bag of matcha in 200ml; for builder strength, 2 bags in 300ml.
Steep3 to 5 minutes: more time for a stronger, milkier matcha cup, less for a lighter one.
ServiceFull fat milk, a little, stirred into the matcha, with sugar if you like. Milk's casein rounds off tannins, and that is why British tea usually comes with milk.
Iced versionBrew 4 bags of matcha strong in 500ml and sweeten while warm with caster sugar, 4 tablespoons; once cool, add cold water, 500ml, and the juice of 2 lemons.
CaffeineThe matcha contains caffeine; no figure in milligrams is claimed for it.
Best withFruit cake, a full English breakfast, toast with marmalade, or scones with cream.
