The Proper Hot Cup of Twinings Pure Green Tea (80C, 2 Minutes)
Twinings Pure Green Tea brewed at 80C for two minutes, grassy and rounded with no bitter edge. The cup to drink plain.
Plain Green Tea has nowhere to hide, so brewing it well matters. Let the boiled kettle drop to around 80C, give the bag two minutes and no more, and Twinings Pure Green Tea comes out grassy and rounded rather than bitter. This is the cup to drink without milk or sugar, the way you would taste any good green.
