The Proper Hot Cup of Tetley Super Green Mango and Pineapple (80C, 2 Minutes)
A gentle tropical green for anyone who finds green tea too sharp, brewed cool for soft mango and pineapple.
Tetley Super Green Mango and Pineapple is the gentle way into Green Tea: the mango and pineapple soften the green base, so it comes out sweet and tropical rather than grassy or sharp. That makes it a good one if straight green tea has always tasted too astringent to you.

It only asks for one thing, water that is not boiling. Green leaf scorches at a full 100C and turns bitter, which would bury the fruit, so let the kettle sit a minute or so before pouring.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Tetley Super Green Mango and Pineapple
- 200ml just off boil water cooled to about 80C (boil the kettle, then let it stand for roughly 90 seconds)
- Optional: a little honey
Method
- Boil the kettle and let it rest about 90 seconds, until it falls to roughly 80C.
- Add a bag to your mug and pour over 200ml of the cooled water.
- Steep two to three minutes, then lift the bag out without pressing it.
- The fruit brings its own sweetness, so it is ready to drink, with a little honey only if you want more.
