Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection, 20 Tea Bags 38.4g
Buy this one once. Naming blends for intentions tells you what each is meant for and gives no hint of how it tastes, and twenty assorted bags answer that faster than anything else could. One thing to know before the first cup: caffeine is not uniform across the box, because a daytime range like this mixes pure infusions with green tea blends, and the two are not the same drink.
Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection, in brief.
Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection is a twenty-bag daytime selection carton from the Twinings Superblends range, holding several different wellbeing blends in one box rather than twenty bags of a single one.
Caffeine varies across the box: a daytime wellbeing range mixes pure herbal infusions with green tea based blends, and the carton is the authority on which is which.
Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection is the daytime half of the Superblends idea in one carton: several different wellbeing blends in a twenty-bag box rather than twenty bags of a single one. It is the box you buy to find out which of them you actually want.
Superblends, the Twinings range, groups blends by what they are for and not by what is in them, a useful way to shop though a slightly awkward way to describe a tea. A selection carton makes that concrete. Twenty bags at 38.4g net is roughly 1.92g a bag, a little heavier than the average herbal infusion, which usually means some of the blends in the box carry denser material such as roots, seeds or tea leaf rather than flowers alone. Which blends are in the current carton, how many of each, and which of them are herbal infusions as against green tea based, are printed on the pack.
Curator notes: our taste notes are editorial, set down by us and checked against the carton in its current form and the brand's own published description. Dispatch of the Feel Good Collection typically takes 1 to 2 working days. The questions tab below covers caffeine, brew times for herbal and green bags, iced tea, storage and whether two different bags can share a pot.

The Story Behind Twinings Superblends
Twinings is the family tea house trading from London since 1706, and Superblends is the modern functional end of what it sells: blends built around a stated benefit and sold under that name rather than under a botanical name. Feel Good is the daytime carton in that range, where Wind Down is the evening one. A selection box suits a range like this, because the names on the front give the intention and tell you nothing about how the taste will go down.
Go to the current UK pack, not this page, for every blend's ingredient list, caffeine status, allergen advice, bag material and best before date.
Packaging: What the box says today and what your council advises is what to follow, because the components of this carton may need separate disposal routes.
What You Are Actually Buying
- Count and weight: twenty bags, 38.4g net, which is about 1.92g a bag.

The story behind Twinings
Twinings has been blending tea on London's Strand since 1706, the same address, three centuries later. Holders of the royal warrant for tea since 1837, they're the brand most-associated with Earl Grey, English Breakfast, and the polished afternoon-tea aesthetic. Wide flavoured-tea range; ethical sourcing through the Twinings Community Needs Assessment programme.

The taste profile
How does it compare
A mixed carton needs two different habits, and that is the only real complication in it. The herbal infusions in the box want water straight off the boil and a long steep; any green tea based blend in the same box wants water off the boil and a short one. Treat everything as a herbal infusion and the green blends turn bitter; treat everything as green tea and the herbals taste like hot water.
The Herbal Bags
The Green Tea Bags
Made with this tea
The Plain Daytime Mug
How to make The Plain Daytime Mug with Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection.
- 1 bag Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection
- 250ml hot water
- Lemon, optional
- Check the carton for whether the bag you have taken is a herbal infusion or a green tea based blend.
- Pour 250ml of water straight off the boil for a herbal bag, or water left to stand three minutes for a green one.
- Cover and steep 5 minutes for the herbal, 2 to 3 for the green.
- Lift the bag out without squeezing and drink it clear.
What you'll end up with: The only build in the list that needs you to read the box first, and the one that goes wrong most often when you do not.
Desk Flask for the Afternoon
How to make a Desk Flask for the Afternoon with Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection.
- 2 bags Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection
- 500ml just boiled water
- 1 teaspoon honey, optional
- Brew 2 herbal bags from the Superblends Feel Good Collection, left for 7 minutes in 500ml of just boiled water.
- Lift both bags out before the flask goes on, not after.
- Fill a warmed flask and it will still be drinkable four hours later.
- Use herbal bags only for this; a green blend left in a hot flask is undrinkable by lunchtime.
What you'll end up with: The reason to take the bags out is that a flask keeps brewing. Left in, the last cup is a different drink from the first.
Iced Fruit Jug
How to make an Iced Fruit Jug with Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection.
- 4 bags Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection
- 500ml just boiled water
- 500ml cold water and ice
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Brew 4 bags from the Feel Good carton in 500ml of freshly boiled water for 8 minutes, which makes it double strength.
- Lift the bags out and top the jug up with 500ml of cold water.
- Chill, then serve over ice with slices of lemon.
- Pick the citrus and berry bags for this and leave the minty ones for hot cups.
What you'll end up with: Brewing double strength and diluting cold is what stops iced tea tasting watery once the ice starts melting into it.
Fruit Tea Sorbet Base
How to make a Fruit Tea Sorbet Base with Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection.
- 4 bags Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection
- 400ml just boiled water
- 120g caster sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Brew 4 berry or citrus bags from the carton, left for 10 minutes in 400ml of just boiled water.
- Stir in 120g of caster sugar while hot until it dissolves, then add the juice of 1 lemon.
- Cool completely and churn, or freeze in a tray and fork it through every 40 minutes until it is grainy and set.
- Serve in small scoops; a fruit tea sorbet is more intense than it looks.
What you'll end up with: The sugar is structural here rather than decorative. Cut it much below 120g and the mixture freezes into a solid block instead of a sorbet.
The Two Bag Afternoon Lift
How to make The Two Bag Afternoon Lift with Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection.
- 2 bags Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection
- 350ml just boiled water
- A slice of apple
- Honey to taste
- Brew 2 herbal bags of Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection, 20 Tea Bags 38.4g in 350ml of just boiled water for 6 minutes.
- Add a slice of apple to the mug while it is still hot, which gives the cup a rounder sweetness than honey does.
- Taste before you add anything else.
- Two bags is the answer when one tastes thin; a longer steep of one bag is not.
What you'll end up with: Strength in a herbal infusion comes from more material, not more time. That is the one rule that separates this family from black tea.

| Tea leaf | Not stated to us | Some blends in a daytime wellbeing range are pure herbal infusions and some are built on green tea. Whether the bag in your hand contains tea decides both its caffeine and how you should brew it. |

Sourcing & blend. Twinings blends the Superblends Feel Good Collection, and that family tea house has traded out of London since 1706. Superblends is the house's functional range, organised by what a blend is for rather than by what is in it, and the Feel Good carton is its daytime end.
What's in Twinings Superblends Feel Good Collection, 20 Tea Bags 38.4g, and what isn't:
- In: several different Twinings Superblends daytime blends in one twenty-bag carton, each with its own ingredient list printed on the pack.
- No added sugar in the cup: these brew to effectively nothing on their own. Any sweetness in the mug is either natural to the botanicals or something you put there.
