Twinings Quiet Mind, 20 Tea Bags 40g
An unusual flavour: sweet dried fig and creamy vanilla sit over a rooibos base, while roasted chicory adds a coffee like depth that makes the cup feel substantial even without caffeine. That fig-and-vanilla character is the reason to drink it, comforting and almost pudding-like on a quiet evening. Ashwagandha is in there but it is an ingredient, not a switch for your mind, so treat "Quiet Mind" as branding. On taste alone it is one of the more distinctive caffeine-free comfort cups, if the fig appeals to you.
Twinings Quiet Mind, in brief.
Twinings Quiet Mind is a naturally caffeine free herbal infusion from the Twinings Soulful Blends range: fig and vanilla flavoured, built on rooibos (61%) with roasted chicory root, fig flavouring, ashwagandha root and vanilla flavouring, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the sweet, rooibos based evening alternative to a plain redbush cup. In the cup: mellow fig and vanilla up front, a smooth rooibos body through the middle and a toasty chicory finish.
The rooibos does the structural work, giving the liquor its amber red colour and smooth, lightly honeyed body, while the roasted chicory root adds a nutty, coffee like depth. The fig and vanilla flavourings lead the aroma and make the cup taste like a dessert, and the ashwagandha root, inspired by Ayurvedic tradition, adds a faint earthy note.
Caffeine status: no caffeine in it naturally, which leaves any hour open to you, evening included. Taste profile: fig and vanilla up front balanced by smooth rooibos and a toasty finish. What it is: a Twinings Soulful Blends rooibos, fig and vanilla herbal with ashwagandha.
