Twinings Immune Support, 20 Tea Bags 40g
A rare berry tea with no hibiscus, and that is its real virtue: deep blackcurrant, raspberry and tart elderberry come through smooth and rounded rather than sharp and acidic, which is exactly where most fruit cups go wrong. An earthy echinacea note grounds it, the one element that will divide people. Caffeine free, and properly comforting when hot in cold weather. No tea backs up your immune system, so pay no attention to the name or the fortification; buy it because it is one of the smoothest dark berry cups in the range.
Twinings Immune Support, in brief.
Twinings Immune Support, 20 Tea Bags 40g is a blackcurrant, raspberry and strawberry flavoured herbal infusion with echinacea root, elderberries and added vitamin D, from the Twinings Superblends range; the current ingredient panel contains no tea leaf.
Caffeine: Of black, green, white and oolong tea leaf there is none in the current pack ingredients, so this herbal or fruit infusion is naturally free of caffeine. No milligram figure is inferred. See our caffeine guide to see what separates tea leaf from decaf tea and from herbal infusions.
Rosehips and hibiscus do the structural work, giving the liquor its deep red colour and a tart edge, while blackcurrant, raspberry and strawberry flavours and elderberries (5%) sit on top as the lead berry notes. Apple pieces and blackberry leaves round out the body, echinacea root (10%) and nettle add a faint earthy note, and a little liquorice root gives a soft sweetness on the finish.

How Do I Make Twinings Immune Support?
Correct preparation matters if you want the best from your Twinings tea bags and a good infusion at home. Freshly boiled water is vital to allow the dried fruit pieces and echinacea root to fully rehydrate.The Classic Hot Serve Brewing Guide:
- Measure: Place one bag into your favourite pre warmed mug.
- Pour: Take freshly boiled water at 100 degrees Celsius and send it straight over the bag to agitate the botanicals.
- Steep: Let it brew for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the Vitamin D and berry flavours to fully release. Expert Tip: Leave the bag in while drinking to maximise the extraction of the beneficial nutrients.
- The Finish: Do not squeeze the bag too hard, as letting it drip naturally preserves the clarity of the liquor.
The Iced Berry Wellness Recipe:
- Why Try It: This method creates a crisp and hydrating iced tea that helps you hit your vitamin goals even on hot days.
- The Prep: Two bags, six minutes, 150ml of freshly boiled water: that makes a potent berry concentrate.
- The Chill: Allow the liquor to cool to room temperature before pouring over a tall glass filled with large ice cubes.
The Elderberry Soother Mocktail Recipe:
- The Base: Steep 2 bags in 80ml of boiling water for a full 10 minutes to extract a syrup like intensity. Allow to cool completely.
- The Fizz: Pour the cool concentrate into a tumbler and top up with ginger ale or sparkling water.
- The Combine: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. This makes a warming yet refreshing drink for a cold winter day.
