Twinings Glow is the brand's skin-themed wellness blend: a green tea base with apple, mixed berries (blackcurrant, raspberry, strawberry), rosehip and added vitamin C. The marketing angle is skin, but in practice it is a bright, fruity everyday green with a small vitamin contribution. A pleasant daily drinker, not a skin treatment. The blend

A Chinese green tea base, apple pieces for body and sweetness, mixed berries (blackcurrant, raspberry, strawberry), rosehip (one of the highest natural vitamin C sources), hibiscus for colour, and added ascorbic acid for the back-of-pack vitamin C claim (around 30 to 50% of the RDA per cup).

Berry fruit leads, apple sweetness sits underneath, green-tea grassiness stays in the background, and rosehip and hibiscus give a tang on the finish. Bright, fruity and easy to drink, even for people who don't usually like green tea. Curator Rating: 4.9/5. How to brew

 1 bag in 200ml water at about 80°C, not boiling. Cover the cup. Steep 3 minutes for green-tea balance, or 5-plus for stronger berry character. Drink black; honey is fine, milk muddies the fruit. For iced: cold brew 4 bags in 1 litre of water with a slice of strawberry, fridge 6 to 8 hours, serve over ice.
 What the "Glow" name means
Glow is marketed for skin, but it is really a fruity green tea with a little added vitamin C. The honest reading: the added vitamins are real but minor, the sort a normal varied diet already supplies, and the things that genuinely help skin (hydration, sleep, sun protection and overall diet) do far more than any cup of tea. So drink it for the bright apple-and-berry flavour, not the promise. This is general information, not medical advice. At a glance

 FAQ
Caffeine? 20 to 30mg per cup.
Vegan? Yes.
Does it really help skin? Only modestly and indirectly, through hydration and a little vitamin C. It is not a skin treatment.
Versus Twinings Defence? Same green base; Glow is fruit-and-skin themed, Defence is immunity themed. Curator's note: Twinings Glow is mainstream antioxidant green tea. Real ingredients; modest claims. Pleasant for daily drinking. Lee, Teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.

The bottom lineA pleasant apple-and-berry green with a little added vitamin C and a beauty-coded name. Drink it for the bright fruit cup, not the glow. Brew it off the boil and short to keep it sweet; it cold-brews well over ice.
