A dessert in a cup that mostly gets away with it: buttery caramel over a green tea base, and the clever part is the pinch of salt, which genuinely stops it tipping into sickly the way most sweet flavoured teas do. There is real green tea in here, so it carries caffeine and suits the daytime, not a nightcap; brew it off the boil so the green does not turn bitter under the sweetness. A treat rather than an everyday cup, but a well-judged one for a sweet-tooth craving without the sugar.
Twinings Salted Caramel Green Tea is the dessert-style flavoured green tea from the Twinings range, the standard green tea base flavoured with natural salted caramel notes for a sweet, slightly savoury cup that drinks like a dessert in mug form, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the novelty alternative to a plain Pure Green Tea or the standard flavoured green teas like jasmine or mint.
The green tea provides the structural backbone, giving the cup its familiar pale-gold colour and the soft vegetal note that any green-tea drinker will recognise, while the salted caramel flavouring sits on top, the sweet butterscotch profile balanced by a faint savoury salt edge that pulls the cup away from a syrupy direction. The cup works hot in winter as a substitute for a biscuit at the end of the evening.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
A twenty-bag Twinings household pack at an accessible price, a sensible novelty cup for anyone who finds a plain green tea too austere and wants the dessert-style upgrade without committing to a sweet matcha latte.
Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature.

- Twinings Pure Green: both occupy a similar price band and shelf position, but Twinings Salted Caramel Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g differentiates through its certified sourcing, ethical packaging and the Twinings brand heritage outlined above.

Preparation & Brewing
Ideal Brewing Conditions:
-
Brew It Hot: Boil the kettle then allow the water to cool for about 2 minutes to around 180°C to protect the delicate leaves.
-
Thermal Integrity: Do not use fully boiling water as this can scald the Green Tea and create immediate bitterness.
-
Steep Time: Steep for a maximum of 2 minutes to ensure the Caramel notes stay smooth and sweet.
The Tea Master Brewing Instructions:
-
Measure: Place one individual string and tag envelope in your favourite cup or pre warmed mug.
-
Pour: Add 200 millilitre of hot water at 80°C directly over the bag to activate the dessert oils.
-
Steep: Wait for 2 minutes to allow the natural Salted Caramel flavouring to fully hydrate.
-
Enjoy: Best savoured plain for a guilt free dessert profile although it is exceptional when served as a chilled summer refresh.
The Tea Master Secret (Cold Brew & Iced Tea):
-
Iced Salted Treat: Brew a strong hot infusion using two bags in 150 millilitre of water. Once steeped allow to cool completely then pour into a tall glass filled with ice. The cold temperature highlights the salty tang for a sophisticated non alcoholic refresher.
-
Caramel Green Spritz: Brew one bag in 100 millilitre of hot water for 2 minutes. Once cooled top with sparkling water and a touch of honey. The carbonation highlights the toasty sugar notes for a bracing and sophisticated dessert style drink.
Safety & Dietary Notes
Caffeine: decaffeinated or low-caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
- Ingredients and dietary suitability: Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.
- Caffeine: decaffeinated or low-caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
