Tetley's green tea range comes down to four boxes: Pure Green, Green Tea with Lemon, Green Tea with Mango and Passion Fruit, and Decaf Pure Green. They are the same size and the same weight per bag, so the only real choices are flavour and caffeine. All four are on the Tetley shelf at teas.co.uk.
The four Tetley green teas side by side
| Tea | Pack | What is in the bag | Caffeine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tetley Pure Green Tea | 50 tea bags, 100g | 100% green tea | Yes |
| Tetley Green Tea with Lemon | 50 tea bags, 100g | Green tea (93%), natural lemon flavouring with other natural flavourings | Yes |
| Tetley Green Tea with Mango and Passion Fruit | 50 tea bags, 100g | Green tea (93%), natural flavourings including mango (1.1%) and passion fruit (1.0%) | Yes |
| Tetley Decaf Pure Green Tea | 50 tea bags, 100g | 100% decaffeinated green tea | Decaffeinated to 0.2% |
Each bag holds 2g of tea. Because every box holds 50 bags, the price per cup is simply the box price divided by 50, and the live prices are shown in the shop block below.

Which is which
Pure Green is the plain one. Tetley describes it as smooth and mellow with a fresh, light taste, made from 100% green tea leaves with nothing added. It is the box to choose if you want green tea that tastes of green tea.
Lemon and Mango and Passion Fruit are the same idea with flavouring. Both are 93% green tea, and the fruit comes from natural flavourings, not from pieces of dried fruit. Mango and Passion Fruit is one of the bestselling green teas in our shop.
Decaf Pure Green is plain green tea with most of the caffeine taken out. The pack says it is decaffeinated to 0.2%. Our guide to choosing and brewing decaf green tea explains what that means in practice.
Tetley also sells Super Green teas in 20 bag boxes. They are a separate range with their own ingredients, covered in Tetley Super teas compared.
How much caffeine is in Tetley green tea?
Tetley does not publish a separate figure for green tea. Its FAQ says an average 250ml cup of Tetley black tea contains 30 to 50mg of caffeine, and that green and black teas have similar caffeine levels because both come from the same plant. For its decaffeinated tea it gives a figure of about 2.5mg a cup.
Tetley adds that the amount in your cup depends on brewing time, stirring and how much tea you use, and that squeezing the bag can release more. For the wider picture, see Tetley caffeine levels by product.
How Tetley says to brew it
Tetley's own brew guide is short:
- Boil freshly drawn water, then let it cool for about two minutes, to around 80°C.
- Pour over one tea bag per cup.
- Steep for two to three minutes. Less time gives a lighter brew.
Tetley warns that boiling water poured straight on to green tea can make it taste bitter, and suggests drinking it without milk, with honey or lemon if you like. We look at the milk question in should you put milk in green tea, and at the colour of the cup in why green tea turns yellow or brown.

Common questions
Is Tetley Pure Green Tea just green tea?
Yes. Tetley lists the ingredients as 100% green tea, with nothing added.
Does Tetley Decaf Green Tea have any caffeine?
A little. The pack says it is decaffeinated to 0.2%, so it is very low in caffeine, not free of it.
Is there real fruit in the lemon and mango boxes?
The ingredient lists show green tea at 93% and natural flavourings. They do not list pieces of fruit.
