LCurator note · Twinings
The fierce counterpart to the gentle Lemon and Ginger: 70 percent pure ginger root and nothing citrus to tame it, so this brings a genuine, lingering, throat-warming heat rather than a hint. Liquorice is the only sweetener, which gives it a rich mouthfeel but leaves an aniseed thread some will not want. It is unapologetically a cup for committed ginger drinkers and cold days, not a soothing everyday sipper. Caffeine-free; pay no attention to the nausea and metabolism wording and buy it purely because you want ginger that actually bites.

About this tea
Twinings Spiced Ginger, in brief.
Twinings Spiced Ginger is a caffeine-free herbal infusion built on ginger root with cinnamon, cardamom and natural spice flavourings, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the chai-adjacent warming alternative to a plain Lemon and Ginger or a plain peppermint cup.
The ginger root does the lead heat-lifting work, giving the cup its proper warming bite and golden-amber colour, while the cinnamon and cardamom sit on top as the chai-style spice layer that distinguishes this cup from a plain ginger infusion. Twinings have built the recipe so the ginger stays the lead voice and the cinnamon adds warmth without dominating, and the pyramid format gives the roots and spices room to open during the brew.
A high-street spiced ginger at an accessible price, a sensible winter warmer that takes a splash of milk and a teaspoon of honey beautifully if you want to drink it as a no-caffeine chai latte.

Read the full write-up
Twinings Spiced Ginger Tea serves as a functional powerhouse for the herbal tea drinker who finds standard fruit teas too passive. Unlike subtle floral blends, this infusion offers a confident punch of heat that signals immediate internal warming. By packing the bag with 70% pure ginger root, Twinings ensures a
The Story Behind the Twinings
Twinings was founded by Thomas Twining in 1706 at 216 Strand, London, where the original shop still operates today, making it the world's oldest continuously operating tea shop. The Twining family ran the business for nine generations and Stephen Twining is the current ambassador. Twinings was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria in 1837 and supplies tea to the UK Royal Household today.
Our Commitment To The Planet
Twinings is a leader in providing authentic tea infusions that respect traditional botanical sourcing and modern sustainability.
-
Sourced With Care: This programme focuses on improving living standards in communities that grow our spices. By supporting incomes, we ensure that every cup of ginger herbal tea supports the livelihoods of the farmers who cultivate these potent roots in India and Nigeria.
-
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
The Medicinal Hot Serve Brewing Guide
-
Measure: Use one individual ginger tea bag per cup (approximately 200ml).
-
Pour: Use freshly boiled water. Do not let it cool; maximum heat is needed to extract the spicy heat from the roots.
-
Steep: Infuse for at least 3 minutes for a balanced cup; leave for 5 minutes if you are using this as a tea for nausea and require maximum potency.
-
Herbalist Tip: Always cover your mug while steeping. This traps the steam and prevents the spicy volatile oils from evaporating into the air.
The Firecracker Iced Soak Brewing Guide
-
The Prep: Steep 2 bags in 200ml of boiling water for 5 minutes to create a fiery concentrate.
-
The Chill: Remove bags and allow the liquid to cool completely.
-
The Serve: Pour over a tall glass of ice and add a slice of lime or a dash of cloudy lemonade. This creates a refreshing iced ginger tea that cools the body while stimulating the palate.
The Golden Ginger Latte Brewing Guide
-
Why Try It: This method mimics the viral "Golden Milk" trend, using the tea base to create a creamy, antioxidant powerhouse.
-
The Concentrate: Steep 2 bags in just 100ml of boiling water for 5 minutes. You need a dark, spicy base to stand up to the milk.
-
The Milk: Gently heat and froth 150ml of coconut milk or almond milk. The fat in the milk binds with the spices for a richer flavour.
-
The Combine: Pour the concentrate into a mug, top with the frothed milk, and dust with turmeric or cinnamon for the ultimate spiced tea latte.
