5 of our favourite green teas

Lift your mood, boost your health and enjoy a tasty cuppa with 5 of our favourite green teas.

The list of benefits of green tea is endless, from helping the heart, lowering cholesterol and losing weight, to boosting the immune system. It’s rich in antioxidants and has been widely considered to be a super-healthy drink. Check out our top picks of the different kinds out there.

1. Twinings Pomegranate Green Tea (£1.69, twinings.co.uk)

Pomegranate has a naturally sharp yet sweet flavour which blends perfectly with green tea to produce a refreshing and balanced taste. It’s rich in vitamins C and K, too, which are essential for the immune system. If you like your green tea to taste sweeter then just add a touch of honey, which mixes well with pomegranate and further soothes the taste buds.

2. Pukka Clean Green Lemon Tea (£2.39, pukkaherbs.com)

The distinct bitter taste of green tea goes perfectly with the slightly tart zing of lemon – which, by the way is packed with vitamin C. Good news if you’re feeling a bit sniffly.

3. Higher Living Green Tea Coconut Teapee (£4.79, higherlivingherbs.com)

The exotic combination of green tea with a natural coconut flavour makes this tea blend both smooth and sweet to taste. Want to supercharge this drink? Add a teaspoon of coconut oil.

4. Pukka Green Chai (£2.29, pukkaherbs.com)

The warming cinnamon in this take on chai tea packs your cuppa with a sweet and spicy flavour, perfect for colder nights. Antioxidant-rich cinnamon will be sure to give your green tea an extra kick just when you need it.

5. Clipper Decaf Green Tea (£1.89, clipperteashop.com)

If caffeine doesn’t agree with you but you’re not willing to part with the powerful green stuff, try Clipper’s decaf version. Tastes just as good – plus, it’s Fairtrade, too. Bonus.
