Twinings Turmeric, 20 Tea Bags 40g

Twinings Turmeric, in brief.

Twinings Turmeric is a caffeine-free herbal infusion with turmeric root leading the cup, supported by ginger, lemon flavouring and a touch of black pepper, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the spice-led alternative to a plain ginger or a plain herbal tea. I will leave the wellness framing aside and judge it as a cup, warming and earthy with a soft golden colour, a gentle peppery edge and a citrus lift on the finish.

The turmeric root does the structural work, giving the liquor its distinctive deep-gold colour and the warm, slightly earthy backbone that defines the cup, while the ginger adds a familiar warmth without dominating. The lemon flavouring brightens the finish so the spice does not feel medicinal, and the small touch of black pepper is the unusual ingredient that helps the turmeric carry through the cup properly rather than settling out as a muddy aftertaste. The pyramid format gives the roots room to open during the brew, which is part of why this cup tastes more honest than supermarket equivalents.

Caffeine status: naturally zero caffeine, so it works any time including late evening. Taste profile: warming earthy turmeric up front balanced by a soft ginger heat and a bright lemon finish. What it is: a Twinings all-natural turmeric-led herbal infusion, in the same family as the Pukka Turmeric Active and Yogi Turmeric.
