LCurator note · Twinings
The lightest of the liquorice-mint family: spearmint, not peppermint, leads at 58 percent, so the mint itself is softer and sweeter, and liquorice is a firm supporting note at 27 rather than the headline. A touch of lemon peel, which the rival blends do not have, keeps it bright and stops the root turning heavy. If the Teapigs version was too liquorice-dominant and even the Pukka too much, this is the one that finally dials it back far enough while keeping a hint of that natural sweetness. No caffeine, a clean taste, and really refreshing after dinner.

About this tea

Twinings Liquorice and Spearmint, in brief.

Twinings Liquorice and Spearmint is a lemon-flavoured herbal infusion in a 20-bag, 40g pack. The current UK recipe is led by spearmint, with liquorice, lemon flavourings and lemon peel. Twinings describes it as naturally caffeine-free.

The maker recommends a three-minute infusion with freshly boiled water. Contains liquorice: people with hypertension should follow the pack warning about excessive consumption. Caffeine-free does not establish suitability during pregnancy or alongside medicines; check the complete pack and seek individual advice where relevant.

Verified product specification, checked 10 November 2026. The current pack remains the reference for ingredients, warnings, storage and best-before information.

Curator’s notes

Read the full write-up
Twinings Liquorice and Spearmint is for anyone who wants something naturally sweet tasting in place of a sugary snack. Where most mint infusions use peppermint, this one uses spearmint for a smoother finish and builds its flavour around deep growing liquorice root. Each Twinings bag carries that easy quality into a simple cup at home. To finish a meal in proper British style, pour a cup of this sweet mint tea pairs nicely with an after dinner pause or as a refreshing midday reset. Sipped slowly at home or taken as a pause in a long day, the Liquorice and Spearmint gives a fresh, lively cup in the Twinings tradition of quality.

The Story Behind the Twinings Tea Brand

Twinings has been a major name in tea since 1706, when Thomas Twining opened for business on the Strand in London, selling tea.
  • Heritage of Innovation: The Twinings tea brand was the first to hold a Royal Warrant for tea and still leads with modern infusions that marry traditional roots with lively herbs.
  • Expert Blending: With over three centuries of experience Twinings master blenders ensure every batch is taste tested multiple times to guarantee consistent flavour quality.
  • Sourced With Care: Through a worldwide programme, Twinings works to protect biodiversity, improve life for workers in its supply chain and secure tea farming for the long term.

Twinings Commitment To The Planet

Twinings describes itself as leading on sustainable tea, with every part of the Liquorice and Spearmint meant to respect the environment.
  • Packaging: The Liquorice and Spearmint box and bags might go to separate bins; the pack and your council's list will say.

How does it compare

vs Pukka Peppermint and LicoriceWhile Pukka offers an intense organic experience Twinings provides a more balanced profile that uses lemon peel to keep the brew light and refreshing rather than syrupy.
vs Teapigs Liquorice and PeppermintTeapigs uses peppermint which can be sharp. Twinings uses spearmint for a smoother cooler finish that allows the liquorice sweetness to shine.
vs Standard Supermarket Mint TeasMany budget brands can taste watery. Twinings ensures a substantial mouthfeel through premium botanicals and a high concentration of essential oils.
Brewing

Brewing the perfect cup

Water temperature100°C, since the menthol only lifts off with full heat.
MeasureOne bag to every 200ml of just boiled water.
Steep4 to 5 minutes, covered, which keeps the minty, menthol rich steam in the cup.
ServiceDrink unsweetened; the natural sweetness is plenty. A slice of lemon adds brightness.
Iced versionMake 2 bags strong in 200ml, let it cool, then pour over ice with lime, squeezed, and fresh mint leaves.
Caffeine noteNo caffeine at all, so it suits any hour, and it is a traditional after dinner cup.
Best withAfter a spicy or rich dinner, or alongside Moroccan pastries and dark chocolate.
Safety and purity

What’s in it, what to know

Ingredients and dietary suitabilityTwinings can update the recipe or allergen advice, so read the Liquorice and Spearmint box before you buy.
CaffeineFree of caffeine by nature, so an after dinner cup is no problem.
Nutrient NoteMenthol accounts for 30 to 50% of its essential oil, with rosmarinic acid also present, and it is the menthol you feel as coolness.
Shelf LifeThe Liquorice and Spearmint stays safe past its printed best before date, but the aroma weakens. Keep the liquorice mint bags in an airtight tin, cool, dry and shaded.
Formulations change; the current UK pack is always the final word on ingredients and allergens.
