Twinings Calm, 20 Tea Bags 30g

Twinings Calm, in brief.

Twinings Calm is a caffeine-free herbal infusion from the Twinings Superblends range, built on camomile and lemongrass with ashwagandha root, ginger and added vitamin B6, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the herbal-root alternative to a plain camomile cup. I will leave the wellness branding aside and judge it as a cup, soft floral camomile up front, a bright lemongrass middle and a faint earthy ashwagandha note on the finish.

The camomile does the soft floral structural work, giving the liquor its familiar honeyed character that camomile drinkers know, while the lemongrass brightens the top so the cup does not read purely floral. The ashwagandha root sits underneath as the unusual ingredient, an earthy backbone you would not get from a plain camomile, and the ginger adds a faint warmth. Twinings have kept the recipe balanced so the camomile stays the lead voice rather than being flattened by the root, and the pyramid format gives the leaf and roots room to open during the brew, which is part of why this cup reads more honest than the cheap square-bag camomile teas at this price point.

Caffeine status: naturally zero caffeine, so it works any time including late evening. Taste profile: soft floral camomile up front balanced by bright lemongrass and a faint earthy ashwagandha finish. What it is: a Twinings Superblends camomile-and-ashwagandha herbal, in the same family as the Pukka Night Time and Yogi Bedtime.
