Twinings Digest, 20 Tea Bags 35g
A softer, fruitier take on an after-dinner mint: spearmint rather than sharp peppermint, sweetened naturally by apple, with a faint baobab tartness and a whisper of ginger keeping it from being one-note. Unlike the green tea blends in the range, it has no caffeine, so it is one for the very end of the day. The gut-support billing is marketing and not something I would lean on; taken simply as a gentle, sweet-and-fresh mint cup it is easy to like, if unremarkable.
Twinings Digest, in brief.
Twinings Digest is a caffeine free herbal infusion from the Twinings Superblends range: apple flavoured, built on spearmint (34%) and rooibos (18%) with ginger, peppermint, apple pieces and baobab fruit pulp (5%), picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the mint and apple after meal alternative to a plain peppermint cup. In the cup: cool spearmint up front, soft apple sweetness through the middle and a gentle ginger warmth on the finish.
The spearmint does the cooling structural work, softer and sweeter than a peppermint lead, while the rooibos sits underneath as a smooth, lightly honeyed base. The apple pieces and flavouring add a mellow fruit sweetness, the baobab a faint tart note, and the ginger and a little peppermint round off the finish. It drinks as a fresh, gently sweet mint cup rather than a sharp menthol one.
Caffeine status: naturally free of caffeine, which makes it suitable at any time of day, after dinner and late in the evening included. Taste profile: cool spearmint up front balanced by soft apple and a faint ginger finish. What it is: a Twinings Superblends spearmint, apple and rooibos herbal, suitable for vegans.
