Twinings Metabolism, 20 Tea Bags 40g
Behind the name it is simply a half-peppermint, half-green-tea blend with an earthy nettle thread and a faint ginger-cinnamon warmth, brisk, clean and a bit more interesting than plain green. Because the green tea is real, it carries caffeine, so this is a daytime desk cup, not an evening one. No tea changes how your body works, and the added zinc is just a label line, not a reason to buy; pick it because a fresh, minty green cup with a savoury edge is really pleasant, and judge it on that.
Twinings Metabolism, in brief.
Twinings Metabolism 20 Tea Bags is a peppermint-led herbal infusion with spiced green tea, nettle, ginger, cinnamon and added zinc. It has a cooling mint character followed by gentle warmth from the spice.
Pack-backed fact: zinc is one of the listed ingredients. The 40g box contains 20 tea bags. Brew with freshly boiled water for three minutes, following the current pack.

Twinings Metabolism 20 Tea Bags
This 40g box contains 20 tea bags. Twinings describes the blend as a peppermint-flavoured herbal infusion with spiced green tea, nettle and added zinc.
Ingredients and authorised claim
The current Twinings manufacturer listing gives: green tea (36%), peppermint (36%), nettle (8%), ginger root (5%), natural peppermint flavouring with other natural flavourings (5%), natural flavourings, cinnamon bark (3%) and zinc.
Zinc is added to the blend. This is the precise pack-backed nutrition claim and it should not be expanded beyond that exact wording.
Taste and brewing
Peppermint leads the aroma and first sip, with green tea and nettle adding a fresh base and ginger and cinnamon bringing a mild warming finish. Twinings instructs you to use freshly boiled water, infuse for three minutes and remove the bag. It can also be cooled and served over ice.
Caffeine and pack information
The blend contains green tea and therefore contains caffeine. We do not publish a fixed milligram figure per cup because the amount varies with brewing. Check the current box for definitive ingredient, allergen, nutrition and disposal information.
