Exact quantities, then the method.
Tetley Green Tea with Mango and Passion Fruit is the tropical one in the range, and it deserves the same gentle brewing as any green: water a little off the boil and a steep that does not drag on. Brewed well, sweet mango comes through first, then a tangy passion-fruit lift, all sitting on a smooth green base, juicy-tasting with no sugar in it at all.

The fruit only shines if the green underneath has not been scorched, so let the water cool a little below boiling before pouring. Straight off a hard boil and the base turns bitter, which buries the fruit.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Tetley Green Tea with Mango and Passion Fruit
- 200ml just-off-boil water cooled to about 80C (boil the kettle, then let it stand for roughly 90 seconds)
- Optional: a little honey if you like it sweeter
Method
- Boil the kettle and let it cool to around 80C (check with a thermometer or use a temperature-controlled kettle), since fully boiling water scorches green tea.
- Put a bag in your mug and pour over 200ml of the slightly cooled water.
- Steep for two to three minutes, no longer, then lift the bag out and let it drip without squeezing.
- The fruit gives plenty of sweetness on its own, so drink it as it is, adding honey only if you want it sweeter.
