Read it the right way round: this is 80 percent peppermint with strawberry as a twist, not a fruit tea, so the cooling menthol leads and the berry rides on top as a sweet, slightly playful lift. The genuine curveball is a whisper of black pepper that adds a faint warm tingle to the finish, clever and intriguing to some, a bit odd to others. Caffeine-free and best after dinner; an adventurous take on a mint cup rather than a safe one, so try it knowing it is meant to surprise you.
Twinings Peppermint and Strawberry is a caffeine-free herbal that pairs peppermint leaf with hibiscus, strawberry pieces and natural fruit flavouring, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the unusual mint-fruit hybrid alternative to a straight peppermint or a straight strawberry herbal cup. I will leave the digestive framing aside and judge it as a cup, cool peppermint up front, a soft strawberry middle and a clean minty fruit finish that drinks well hot or iced.
The peppermint leaf does the cooling structural work, giving the cup its familiar fresh menthol lift, while the hibiscus and strawberry pieces add the rosy colour and the soft fruit sweetness underneath. The strawberry is the second voice, gentle rather than candy-sweet, and Twinings have built the recipe so the mint and the fruit balance properly rather than the mint flattening the berry or the berry tipping syrupy. The pyramid format gives the leaf and fruit pieces room to open during the brew, which keeps the cup more honest than the cheap square-bag supermarket equivalents.
Caffeine status: naturally zero caffeine, so it works any time including late evening. Taste profile: cool peppermint up front balanced by a soft strawberry middle and a clean minty finish. What it is: a Twinings all-natural herbal infusion combining peppermint leaf with hibiscus and strawberry, in the same family as the Pukka Peppermint and Licorice and Yogi Peppermint.
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. Storage notes, freshness windows and brewing temperature ranges are also published in the detailed Q and A tab below.

How Does Twinings Peppermint and Strawberry Compare to:
- Twinings Pure Peppermint: While pure peppermint is refreshing and medicinal this blend adds a layer of juicy fruitiness and a peppery kick that makes it more satisfying for adult palates.
- Pukka Mint Refresh: Pukka uses fennel and rose for a floral profile whereas Twinings focuses on the bold pairing of garden strawberries and black pepper for a punchier experience.
- Supermarket Mint Blends: Many budget brands use artificial flavourings. Twinings ensures a natural taste through premium peppermint leaves and authentic fruit essences.
