Twinings Strawberry and Raspberry, 20 Tea Bags 40g
About as straightforward as fruit tea gets: ripe jammy strawberry out front, a tangy raspberry lift, a touch of hibiscus for a cranberry-like bite, and apple plus a little liquorice rounding off the acidity. That liquorice is the only thing to flag, it is what makes it taste sweet without sugar but leaves a faint woody note some will catch. There is nothing clever going on here, and that is the point: it is the easy, child-friendly, if-in-doubt berry cup, caffeine-free and equally fine hot or over ice.
Twinings Strawberry and Raspberry, in brief.
Twinings Strawberry and Raspberry is a caffeine-free fruit infusion built on a hibiscus and rosehip base with strawberry pieces, raspberry pieces and natural fruit flavourings, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the classic red-berry double-act alternative to a softer peach or a sharper lemon herbal cup. I will leave the wellness framing aside and judge it as a cup, soft strawberry up front, a sharper raspberry middle and a clean fruit finish that drinks well hot or iced.
The hibiscus and rosehip do the structural work, giving the liquor its deep ruby colour and the underlying natural tartness that lets the berries sit forward, while the strawberry leads with the soft round sweetness and the raspberry sits underneath as the sharper tart layer. Twinings have built the recipe so the two berries balance properly rather than the strawberry tipping syrupy or the raspberry going too sharp, and the pyramid format gives the fruit pieces room to open 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 sharper raspberry middle and a clean fruity finish. What it is: a Twinings all-natural berry fruit infusion designed for hot or iced brewing, in the same family as the Pukka Three Berry and Twinings Raspberry and Lemon.

How Do I Make Twinings Strawberry and Raspberry?
To get the best results from your Twinings tea bags and learn how to make the perfect fruit infusion at home, correct preparation is important. Freshly boiled water is vital to allow the dried fruit pieces and hibiscus to fully rehydrate.The Classic Hot Serve Brewing Guide:
- Measure: Place one bag into your favourite pre warmed mug.
- Pour: Add freshly boiled water at 100 degrees Celsius directly over the bag to agitate the botanicals.
- Steep: Let it brew for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the berry notes to fully release. Expert Tip: Leave the bag in while drinking for an increasingly intense fruit punch flavour.
- The Finish: Do not squeeze the bag too hard, as letting it drip naturally preserves the clarity of the liquor.
The Iced Berry Refresher Recipe:
- Ingredients and dietary suitability: Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.
- The Prep: Brew 2 bags in 150ml of freshly boiled water for 6 minutes to create a potent ruby red concentrate.
- The Chill: Allow the liquor to cool to room temperature before pouring over a tall glass filled with large ice cubes.
- The Serve: Garnish with fresh strawberries and a slice of lemon for a refreshing finish that remains completely caffeine free.
The Berry Sparkler Mocktail Recipe:
- The Base: Steep 2 bags in 80ml of boiling water for a full 10 minutes to extract a syrup like intensity. Allow to cool completely.
- The Fizz: Pour the cool concentrate into a flute or tumbler and top up with chilled sparkling water or lemonade.
- The Combine: Add a sprig of mint and a few frozen raspberries. This creates a sophisticated alcohol free drink perfect for garden parties or evening relaxation.
