The grown-up one of the Twinings fruit range: juicy strawberry and elegant elderflower over a hibiscus base, with a genuine juniper note that gives it an almost gin-and-elderflower finish. That botanical twist is what lifts it above a simple berry bag and earns its high rating, it tastes considered rather than sweet. The hibiscus keeps a tart edge so it never cloys. Brew it strong, chill it and top with soda and you have a convincing alcohol-free spritz; caffeine-free, and the pick here for anyone who finds plain fruit teas childish.
Twinings Strawberry and Elderflower is a caffeine-free fruit infusion built on a hibiscus, rosehip and apple base with strawberry pieces and elderflower flavouring, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the floral-fruit alternative to a sharper berry or citrus herbal cup. I will leave the wellness framing aside and judge it as a cup, soft strawberry up front, a delicate elderflower middle and a clean rounded finish you could drink hot or iced over a summer afternoon.
The hibiscus, rosehip and apple do the structural work, giving the liquor its rosy colour and a gentle natural tartness, while the strawberry pieces and natural strawberry flavouring sit on top as the lead note. The elderflower is the elegant touch underneath, a soft floral sweetness rather than a heavy syrup, and Twinings have built the recipe so the cup reads cleanly rather than tipping into the candy-sweet territory many supermarket strawberry teas drift into. The pyramid format gives the fruit pieces room to open properly during the brew.
Caffeine status: naturally zero caffeine, so it works any time including late evening. Taste profile: soft strawberry up front balanced by a floral elderflower middle and a clean fruit 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.
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 Strawberry and Elderflower Compare to:
- Pukka Elderberry and Echinacea: While Pukka is a deeper medicinal berry infusion Twinings Strawberry and Elderflower is lighter and more floral focused. It is the superior choice for those who want a refreshing garden profile.
- Clipper Strawberry and Elderflower: Clipper offers a simple organic alternative whereas Twinings includes aromatic juniper berries to provide a more complex and adult flavour profile.
- Taylors of Harrogate Strawberry and Vanilla: Taylors provides a creamy dessert like experience while Twinings focuses on the zesty and zippy tartness of hibiscus and citrus.
Brewing The Perfect Cup of Twinings Strawberry and Elderflower, 20 Tea Bags 40g
- Water temperature: 100°C; fruit infusions need full heat to draw the colour and tartness from the hibiscus and rosehip base.
- Measure: One bag per 200ml of just boiled water.
- Steep: 5 minutes covered (covering keeps the volatile fruit oils in the cup rather than letting them escape with the steam).
- Service: Drink unsweetened, or with a teaspoon of honey if you prefer it less tart. A slice of fresh fruit makes a good garnish.
- Iced version: Brew 2 bags double strength in 200ml, cool completely, dilute with cold sparkling water over a tall glass of ice.
- Caffeine note: Naturally caffeine free.
- Best with: Victoria sponge, scones with jam, fresh berries, dark chocolate; or iced through a hot summer day.
