LCurator note · Twinings
The plain, jammy everyday berry of the Twinings range: ripe strawberry and tangy raspberry over the usual hibiscus, kept from going sharp by apple and a little liquorice root. That liquorice is worth flagging, it is what makes it taste sweet without sugar, but it leaves a faint woody note a few palates will pick up and not love. No real complexity here, just a comforting, accessible fruit cup, caffeine-free and pleasant hot or iced. The safe everyday choice rather than the interesting one.

About this tea

Twinings Fruits Mix, in brief.

Twinings Fruits Mix is a 20-bag variety pack of caffeine-free fruit infusions, four bags each of five different fruit blends rather than a single recipe in the box, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the sampler-style alternative to committing to a single fruit-tea pack. As a pack, it is a sensible way to find which of the Twinings fruit infusions your household actually drinks before buying the full-size versions.

The five flavours sit on a shared hibiscus, rosehip and apple base, with the lead fruits switching from cranberry to raspberry to strawberry to mango to blackcurrant across the four-bag wedges. Each cup pulls a clear deep-ruby to rosy-amber liquor and runs sharp or sweet depending on which sleeve you have opened. Twinings have kept the recipe family consistent, so the pack reads like a planned flight and not a grab bag.

Caffeine status: naturally zero caffeine across all five flavours, so the pack works any time including late evening. Taste profile: shifts cup to cup, sharp berry to soft tropical, all on the same hibiscus-led base. What it is: a multi-flavour Twinings fruit-tea sampler, in the same family as the supermarket fruit selection boxes but with the Twinings recipe pedigree.

Curator notes: we reviewed the taste ourselves, as editors, from the pack as it looks currently and the brand spec sheet, and cross checked it by brewing at Twinings' steeping advice for time and water temperature. How to store the pack, how long it stays fresh and what brewing temperature to use are also covered in the Q and A tab at the end of the page.

Curator’s notes

Read the full write-up
Twinings Fruits Mix brings traditional blending know how into an ordinary day with a lively berry twist. Standard fruit teas can turn out thin or sharp, but this infusion builds in natural sweetness from liquorice root and apple pieces. The format is plain herbal tea bags from Twinings, so there is no trouble in making a cup at home. Taken as a British teatime cup, this sweet berry tea pairs nicely with a garden picnic or as a hydrating afternoon lift. Ingredients, allergens and dietary suitability are all to be checked on the current UK pack.

Side by side

How does it compare

vs Pukka Blackcurrant BeautyWhile Pukka offers an organic alternative Twinings Fruits Mix provides a more jammy and sun drenched strawberry profile that feels lighter on the palate.
vs Clipper Organic Berry BurstClipper is known for a very tart profile whereas Twinings uses liquorice root and orange peel to ensure a smoother and more rounded finish.
vs Standard Supermarket Berry TeasMany budget brands can taste thin or acidic. Twinings uses sixteen percent real fruit flavourings to ensure a substantial mouthfeel that does not require added sugar.
Brewing

Brewing the perfect cup

Water temperatureBoiling, at 100°C: the hibiscus and rosehip base under the mixed fruits only gives up its colour and tartness when the water is at full heat.
MeasureOne bag does for each 200ml of water, taken straight after boiling.
Steep5 minutes with a cover on (the cover holds the volatile fruit oils in the cup instead of letting them leave with the steam).
ServiceUnsweetened is fine; if you want the tartness softened, a teaspoon of honey does it. Fresh fruit, sliced, is a good garnish.
Iced versionMake 2 bags into a double strength brew in 200ml, let it cool completely, then pour cold sparkling water in over a tall glass of ice.
Caffeine noteNaturally caffeine free.
Best withA Victoria sponge, scones with jam, fresh berries or dark chocolate all go well, and on a hot summer day the cup is just as good iced.
Safety and purity

What’s in it, what to know

Ingredients and dietary suitabilityBefore you buy, look at the current UK pack, as formulations and allergen advice can change.
CaffeineNaturally caffeine free; safe at any hour.
AllergensNaturally derived flavours from the named fruits. Hibiscus is the principal base ingredient, so anyone allergic to it should take note.
Nutrient NoteThe deep red colour of a hibiscus based brew comes from its anthocyanins.
Shelf LifeCheck the pack's best before date; the infusion is still safe to drink after it, but the aroma weakens. An airtight container, a cool dry place and no direct sunlight make the right storage.
Formulations change; the current UK pack is always the final word on ingredients and allergens.
