Twinings Balance, 20 Tea Bags 32g
Real rose petals lead this, so it is properly perfumed, almost Turkish-delight floral, with lychee adding a modern sweet twist and spearmint cooling the finish. That rose is the deciding factor: lovely if you like floral cups, soapy if you do not, there is no middle ground with it. Marketed for hormonal balance around the cycle and menopause, but I make no health claim, judge it purely as an elegant, caffeine-free floral-fruity infusion. On taste it is one of the prettier cups in the range, for the right palate.
Twinings Balance, in brief.
Twinings Balance, 20 Tea Bags 32g is a herbal or fruit infusion whose current ingredient panel contains no tea leaf.
Caffeine: This is a naturally caffeine-free herbal or fruit infusion: the current pack ingredients contain no black, green, white or oolong tea leaf. No milligram figure is inferred. See our caffeine guide for the distinction between tea leaf, decaf tea and herbal infusions.
The hibiscus does the structural work, giving the liquor its bright rosy colour and the underlying natural tartness, while the lemongrass adds the brisk citrus brightness underneath. The rose petals sit on top as the unusual lead, a soft floral perfume that distinguishes this cup from a plain hibiscus, and the peppermint adds a clean cool finish that stops the cup tipping syrupy. Twinings have built the recipe so the rose stays gentle rather than turning soapy, and the pyramid format gives the petals and leaf room to open during the brew, which keeps the cup cleaner than supermarket floral teas.
