Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in April 2026.

Twinings Pomegranate Green Tea combines a green tea base with tart sweet pomegranate, two plants often flagged for their antioxidant content. In the cup it is really a bright, tart, fruity everyday green, easier to drink than plain green tea, rather than a clinical antioxidant dose. Note: this is a caffeinated green tea, not a caffeine free fruit infusion. Mainstream pricing.

The blend

A green tea base (the caffeine source), pomegranate fruit flavour, hibiscus for colour and tartness, and occasionally rosehip or fruit pieces depending on batch. The pomegranate comes mostly from natural flavouring rather than dried seed, so it is more "pomegranate flavoured green tea" than "green tea with real pomegranate".

How it tastes

Tart sweet pomegranate hits first, hibiscus tartness extends it, and green tea grassiness sits underneath. Brighter and more fruit forward than plain green tea, and less austere than a pure Sencha style green. Easy to drink, and a good fit for people who don't usually reach for green. Curator Rating: 4.9/5.

How to brew

1 bag in 200ml water at about 80°C, not boiling (boiling scalds the green tea and turns the cup harsh).
Cover the cup.
Steep 2 to 3 minutes only; green tea over extracts quickly.
Drink black; honey is fine, milk muddies the brightness.
For iced: cold brew 4 bags in 1 litre of cold water, fridge 6 to 8 hours, serve over ice.

What the "antioxidant" name means

Green tea and pomegranate both contain antioxidant compounds, which is true and routinely inflated on packaging. The honest reading: the amount in a brewed cup is real but small, nowhere near a supplement, and overall diet and lifestyle do far more. So drink it for the bright pomegranate tartness, not the health halo. This is general information, not medical advice.

The bottom line

A tart, pleasant fruity green with a true but trivial antioxidant footnote. Drink it for the bright pomegranate, not the claim. Brew it off the boil and short so the base stays sweet, and it is good iced, where the tartness reads especially cleanly.
