Twinings Raspberry and Lemon, 20 Tea Bags 40g
Sharp, not sweet: red hibiscus, tangy raspberry and lemon peel stack up into a bracing, ruby-red cup with real tartness rather than fruit-squash sugar. That makes it a poor pick for something cosy and a very good one for a clean, zingy cup, and it is excellent brewed strong and poured over ice, closer to a grown up raspberry lemonade than a tea. Caffeine-free; reach for it cold in summer first, and only hot if you like your fruit cups bracing.
Twinings Raspberry and Lemon, in brief.
Twinings Raspberry and Lemon is a caffeine-free fruit infusion built on a hibiscus and rosehip base with raspberry and lemon flavourings, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the tart-fruit alternative to a softer peach or strawberry herbal cup. In the cup: tart raspberry up front, a sharp lemon middle and a clean fruity finish you could happily drink hot or iced.
The hibiscus and rosehip do the structural work, giving the liquor its deep ruby colour and the natural tartness that lets the raspberry sit forward rather than tipping syrupy. The lemon flavouring brightens the cup and stops the berry from going one-note, and Twinings have built the recipe so it reads as a proper fruit infusion rather than a cordial dressed up in a teabag. The pyramid format gives the fruit pieces room to open properly during the brew, which is one reason this cup punches well above the standard square-bag supermarket fruit teas.
Caffeine status: naturally caffeine free, which means a mug late in the evening is as good an idea as one at breakfast. Taste profile: tart raspberry up front balanced by a sharp lemon middle and a clean floral finish. What it is: a Twinings all-natural fruit infusion designed for hot or iced brewing, in the same family as the Pukka Three Berry and Twinings Strawberry and Mango.
