I find the Twinings green tea varieties more fully flavoured than their other herbal and fruit teas. But then again green tea is a very strong flavoured drink. In this blend apple and pear have been added in order to reduce some of the bitterness of the green tea. The result is refreshing brew with just a hint of apple and pear. I do find this combination much more palatable than drinking ordinary plain green tea. The colour should be of a light golden shade. Sugar or honey can be added to taste. Of course this is not just a tea about flavour. Green tea is marketed as having extra health benefits in comparison to normal tea. Although there is still some ...  Read the complete review

Twinings Green Tea with Apple & Pear. I do drink quite a lot of cups a tea a day. It was a few years ago whilst at University that I discovered I liked green tea. Drinking green tea always makes me feel very refreshed and it was the perfect accompaniment to my hectic student lifestyle. I originally started drinking regular green tea and then moved on to fruit flavours. In Tesco at the minute Twinings is on offer as 3 boxes for £3. I have always found Twinings to be a good quality tea. It is of course by appointment to her Majesty and is a very well known tea brand in this country and beyond. When it comes to regular tea, for me, ...  Read the complete review

After being told by a specialist to avoid caffine as is is a flare to my IBS, I sadly stopped drinking my normal builders tea at work. I still have a cup of coffee in the morning, but I prefer to remain un-caffinated through the rest of the day! I drank herbal teas (all Twinings as I don't believe that herbal tea can be economised on - the Tesco lemon and ginger tastes like watered down toilet cleaner! Disgusting!!) for months as I didn't want to set off another flare up, but then slowly started to add in green tea as a drink that, ok - does contain caffine - but doesn't give me the jitters like coffee does! Apparently green tea has one-fifth the ...  Read the complete review

I don't really tend to drink alot of hot drinks. I'm not really a big fan of coffee or hot chocolate, but I am a tea drinker. In an attempt to diversify my hot drink options, and when I'm trying to be a bit healthier, I have tried a number of varieties of green teas. GREEN TEA - THE BENEFITS I'd heard that green tea had excellent health benefits and could actually help with weightloss so decided that I should look a bit further into this. Apparently, the health benefits are due to the green tea containing catechin polyphenols which are powerful anti-oxidants. This means that they can help lower cholesterol as well as fight disease, even cancer ...  Read the complete review

Twinnings green tea with pear and apple is a new twist on the latest craze of green tea, which has become popular as part of a healthy phase of tea. Green tea comes from the same plant as 'normal' tea. It is from the Camellia Sinensis bush, and how the leaves are treated once they are picked determines how the tea turns out. Green tea is quite a devisive flavour, people either tend to like it or they don't, and it can be quite boring, so I was excited to see how the addition of apple and pear had livened this classic up. I love pair flavoured drinks so this really appealed to me. Twinnings green tea with pair and apple comes in a cardboard box (so ...  Read the complete review
