Review: Another bizarre-sounding concoction from Twinings in an effort to make cheap green tea more palatable.

The smell is intensely sweet, with the overpowering aroma of artificial coconut - like a Bounty bar, full of sugar. There is just the faintest hint of cocoa, and the green tea smell is entirely absent.

Unsurprisingly, the actual taste of the green tea is subtle. This blend is not bitter at all. Happily, it's not as sweet as we expected, either. There is a faint taste of cocoa on your first sip, but it quickly disappears. And then there's that artificial coconut flavour, which is not as strong as we thought it would be, but it does linger long after you've finished the cup.

There were mixed feelings about this blend. Ginger Tea said, 'I could drink this - I never thought I would say that.' Three Tulsi's son tried it and said, 'I don't know why you'd want to drink this.'

So maybe it comes down to how much you love Bounty bars. If they're your thing, and you'd like the health benefits of green tea without actually having to taste it, then this might be for you.

Best time of year to drink this: Summer, maybe.

Best time of day to drink this: After lunch.
