Twinings Strawberry and Elderflower, 20 Tea Bags 40g
A grown up among the Twinings fruit teas: juicy strawberry and soft elderflower over a hibiscus base, plus a real juniper note that brings 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, in brief.
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. In the 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 bags give the fruit pieces space to open fully as the tea brews.
Caffeine status: naturally caffeine free, so late evening drinking is as fine as any other time. 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.
