Twinings Cranberry and Raspberry, in summary: The brand's bestselling double-berry infusion: tart cranberry, sweet raspberry, a hibiscus-and-apple base, deep ruby cup, hot or iced.

Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in February 2026.

The blend

Hibiscus flower carries the base, the colour and the natural tartness; dried cranberry and raspberry pieces give the headline character; apple adds sweetness and body; rosehip extends the tartness; natural cranberry and raspberry flavouring rounds it out. The cranberry brings a sharper edge than other Twinings berry blends, and the raspberry softens and sweetens the cup.

How it tastes

Tart cranberry hits first as the sharper, more astringent berry, raspberry sweetness follows, and hibiscus and rosehip stretch the tartness across the finish. Zingier and less sweet than Twinings Strawberry and Raspberry, so it suits drinkers who like a brighter, sharper berry cup. Curator Rating: 4.9/5.

How to brew

1 bag in 200ml just-boiled water.
Cover the cup; berry aromatics escape if it is left open.
Steep 5 to 7 minutes; longer for stronger tartness.
Drink black, or add honey to soften the cranberry edge.
For iced: cold brew 2 to 4 bags in 500ml to 1 litre of water, fridge 6 to 8 hours, then serve over ice with a slice of lime. Keeps 3 days chilled.

Use cases

Caffeine-free fruit drink for any time of day.
Iced summer drinking, excellent over ice with sparkling water.
Caffeine-free, so an easy option for children and the whole family.
A fruit-led alternative when you are cutting back on sugary soft drinks.
Christmas season cup; the cranberry suits the season.
Mocktail base; pairs with tonic, soda, lime, or sparkling apple juice.

Why it is the bestselling Twinings fruit tea

This has been one of Twinings' top fruit infusions for over a decade because the balance is so easy to like: cranberry gives the sharp tart-berry character of a cranberry cocktail, raspberry gives the softer red-berry sweetness that tames the edge, and hibiscus and apple carry the body and colour. It is gentler than Blackcurrant and Blueberry, brighter than Blood Orange and Cranberry, and broadly drinkable across UK palates, which makes it the obvious first caffeine-free hot drink to try.
