Twinings Little Lift, 20 Tea Bags 36g
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 can lift your mood; buy this because the lemongrass really does make it the fresher of the berry blends, not because of its name.
Twinings Little Lift, in brief.
Twinings Little Lift is a naturally caffeine free herbal infusion from the Twinings Soulful Blends range: strawberry and blueberry flavoured, built on hibiscus (42%) and blackberry leaves with lemongrass (11%), strawberry, blueberry and pomegranate flavourings and a little liquorice root, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the bright, fruity alternative to a plain berry tea. In the cup: juicy strawberry and blueberry up front, tart hibiscus through the middle and a zingy lemongrass finish.
The hibiscus does the structural work, giving the liquor its deep red colour and tangy edge, while the blackberry leaves add body and the liquorice root a soft sweetness. The strawberry and blueberry flavourings lead the aroma and the lemongrass brightens the finish, so the cup reads fresh and fruity rather than sharp.
Caffeine status: no caffeine at all, as there is no tea leaf in Little Lift. Taste profile: strawberry and blueberry up front balanced by tart hibiscus and a lemongrass finish. What it is: a Twinings Soulful Blends strawberry, blueberry, hibiscus and lemongrass herbal; it also drinks well iced.
