Twinings Mint Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g
The peppermint-green, not a spearmint Moroccan one, and that matters: this leads with a sharp, cool menthol lift rather than the rounder sweetness of the Good Earth or Dragonfly mint-greens, kept clean with no bitterness over a mild green base. It is more a brisk palate reset than a slow, gentle sipper. Real green tea means caffeine, so a daytime cup, not an evening one, and it is sharp enough to be good iced. Pick it for crisp and cooling; choose a spearmint version if you want sweet and mellow.
Twinings Mint Green Tea, in brief.
Twinings Mint Green Tea is the mint-flavoured green tea from the Twinings range, the standard green tea base blended with peppermint and spearmint leaves, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the green-tea answer to the Moroccan-style mint cup and the daytime alternative to a plain Pure Green Tea or a flavoured fruit-green tea.
The green tea does the structural backbone work, giving the cup its pale-gold colour, while the peppermint and spearmint sit on top as the cooling lift, brighter and sharper than a plain Sencha would carry on its own. The cup drinks cleaner and fresher than either the leaf or the mint would alone.
A twenty-bag Twinings household pack at an accessible price, a sensible daytime upgrade over a plain Pure Green Tea or a plain peppermint herbal in the standard supermarket aisle.
Twinings Mint Green Tea adds a cool, clear note to an everyday routine. This lively blend draws on traditional herbal brewing, pairing the flavour of Green Tea with the awakening power of Mint.
It suits anyone whose tea break is a chance to refresh after a heavy meal. Anyone who makes room in the day for a proper pause will find the Mint Green fits. Think of it as a "ctrl alt delete" for your palate.
Curator notes: we wrote these Mint Green notes from the box as sold and the spec Twinings provides, then brewed it to the recommended time and heat. The Q and A tab gives Mint Green storage, freshness and brewing temperatures too.

The Story Behind the Twinings
Thomas Twining founded Twinings at 216 Strand, London, in 1706, and the original shop is open there still, longer than any other tea shop in the world. Nine generations of the family have run the business, and its present ambassador is Stephen Twining. Queen Victoria made Twinings a Royal Warrant holder in 1837, and its tea still goes to the Royal Household.
