Twinings Pure Green Decaf Tea, 20 Tea Bag 35g
A decaf green that has kept its dignity: soft, mellow and clean with effectively zero astringency, and only a refined grassy undertone rather than the flat, papery cup decaffeination usually leaves behind. It does the one job a decaf green has to do, taste like green tea, well enough that it works as the after-dinner cup for people who love green but cannot take caffeine late. Brew it off the boil to keep it gentle. Skip the wording on the box and judge it as a cup: it is one of the better decaf greens.
Twinings Pure Green Decaf Tea, in brief.
Twinings Pure Green Decaf Tea is the decaffeinated single-ingredient green tea from the Twinings range, the same plain green leaf as the standard Pure Green Tea but with the caffeine removed via the CO2 decaffeination process, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the late-evening alternative to the regular Pure Green Tea for anyone who wants the cup without the lift.
The decaf process retains the soft vegetal character of the green leaf surprisingly well, the cup reading recognisably as green tea rather than the watery decaf coffees the supermarket aisle is full of. No added flavourings, no jasmine, just the decaffeinated leaf, the right way to drink a decaf green tea.
A twenty-bag Twinings household pack at an accessible price, the proper late-evening green tea cup for anyone trying to step away from caffeine.
Twinings Pure Green Decaf Tea is green tea for anyone who wants the flavour of a green leaf in their day without the caffeine. It follows traditional tea processing, working from fresh leaves handled carefully so that they keep their natural character. It is made for the evening pot, when you want green tea's flavour and a quieter head after a long day, without the caffeine. That makes it a natural choice for the last pot of the day.

The Story Behind the Twinings
Twinings began at 216 Strand, London, in 1706 with Thomas Twining; the shop is still there and still selling tea, and none has traded longer without a break. Stephen Twining, the current ambassador, belongs to the family that ran Twinings for nine generations. In 1837 Twinings was granted its Royal Warrant, by Queen Victoria, and the UK Royal Household is supplied with its tea to this day.
