Another tart-hibiscus berry cup, but the thing that sets it apart is lemongrass rather than lemon peel doing the citrus work, which gives it a brighter, sunnier, more aromatic edge than the usual strawberry-and-hibiscus crowd. Berry sweetness up front, sharp hibiscus underneath, a little liquorice rounding the acidity, worth flagging if that note bothers you. Caffeine-free and at its best chilled. No tea lifts your mood; buy this one because the lemongrass genuinely makes it the fresher of the berry blends, not for the name.
Twinings Little Lift is the green-tea-led member of the Twinings Superblends range built on green tea and matcha with ginger, lemongrass and added vitamin B6 and B12, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the morning-energy alternative to a plain Sencha or a black-tea breakfast cup. I will leave the wellness branding aside and judge it as a cup, soft green tea up front, a bright lemongrass middle and a gentle ginger warmth on the finish, the matcha lifting the body beyond a standard green-tea bag.
The green tea and matcha do the structural work, giving the liquor its pale jade-gold colour and the soft vegetal backbone, with the matcha adding a fuller body and slightly grassier note than a green tea bag alone would carry. The lemongrass brightens the top and the ginger sits underneath as a faint warming layer. Twinings have built the recipe so the green tea stays the lead voice rather than the citrus or spice dominating, and the pyramid format gives the leaf room to open properly.
Caffeine status: low to moderate from the green tea and matcha, roughly twenty to forty milligrams a cup. Taste profile: soft green tea up front balanced by bright lemongrass and a gentle ginger finish. What it is: a Twinings Superblends green-tea-and-matcha blend, in the same family as the Twinings Metabolism and Pukka Three Mint Matcha.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
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.

How Does Twinings Little Lift Compare to:
- Standard Fruit Tea: When compared to basic berry infusions, Little Lift offers a more complex and balanced profile. The addition of lemongrass prevents the hibiscus from becoming too sour, while the Ayurvedic inspiration provides a sense of purpose beyond just hydration.
- Caffeinated Black Tea: For those looking to reduce caffeine without losing flavour, this is a perfect swap. It offers the same depth and body as a light tea thanks to the blackberry leaves, but with zero caffeine and no bitterness.
- Sugary Soft Drinks: This blend provides the vibrant colour and sweet taste of a soda or cordial but with zero sugar and virtually zero calories. It is the smarter choice for a healthy 2026 lifestyle.
Brewing The Perfect Cup of Twinings Little Lift, 20 Tea Bags 36g
- Water temperature: 100°C, just boiled water is essential for full extraction of theaflavins and thearubigins.
- Measure: One bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
- Steep: 3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.
- Service: Add a splash of full fat milk and stir; sugar to taste. The tannins are balanced by the milk casein, which is why British tea is almost always drunk with milk.
- Iced version: Brew 4 bags strong in 500ml, dissolve 4 tablespoons of caster sugar in the warm tea, cool, dilute with 500ml of cold water and the juice of 2 lemons.
- Caffeine: naturally caffeine free.
- Best with: a full English breakfast, toast and marmalade, fruit cake, scones with cream.
