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. Caffeine-free, clean, and genuinely refreshing after dinner.

About this tea
Twinings Liquorice and Spearmint, in brief.
Twinings Liquorice and Spearmint is a Twinings take on the liquorice-mint cup, fifty-eight percent spearmint with twenty-seven percent liquorice root and a touch of lemon peel, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the spearmint-led alternative to the more peppermint-led Pukka and Teapigs liquorice-mint blends. I will leave the digestive framing aside and judge it as a cup, naturally sweet and aniseed-cool, the after-dinner herbal version of a mint-and-liquorice sweet, a real curiosity in the Twinings range.
Caffeine status: naturally zero caffeine, so it works any time including late evening. Taste profile: bold liquorice sweetness up front balanced by a cooling spearmint rush and a bright zesty lemon finish. What it is: a Twinings all-natural herbal that uses the intense natural sweetness of liquorice root rather than added sugar, in the same family as the Pukka Peppermint and Licorice and Yogi Licorice.
Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature. Storage notes, freshness windows and brewing temperature ranges are also published in the detailed Q and A tab below.

Side by side
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.
