Green Tea and a fully boiling kettle do not get on; the heat scorches the leaf and the cup turns bitter. The fix with Twinings Pure Green Decaf is simple. Let the kettle settle for a minute to around 80C, steep for two minutes, and you are left with a soft, faintly grassy cup. Being decaffeinated, it is the one to reach for of an evening when you fancy green tea but not the lift that comes with it.
