Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/wiki/twinings-peppermint-and-strawberry-unexpected-pairing/ Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in February 2026. Twinings Peppermint and Strawberry is an unusual but genuinely rewarding combination: peppermint leaf, dried strawberry pieces, hibiscus and natural fruit flavouring. It sounds odd on paper but works in the cup, the mint balancing the strawberry's sweetness and the strawberry softening the mint's clinical edge. Think strawberry-mint compote, or a strawberry mojito. Caffeine free, mainstream pricing, polarising for traditionalists but loved by adventurous fruit-tea drinkers. The blend Source: Teas.co.uk.

Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/wiki/twinings-peppermint-and-strawberry-unexpected-pairing/ Peppermint leaf (the cooling lead), dried strawberry pieces, hibiscus flower for colour and tartness, apple for sweetness and body, and natural strawberry and peppermint flavouring. The peppermint dose is moderate, enough for the cooling sensation without dominating the strawberry. How it tastes Source: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/wiki/twinings-peppermint-and-strawberry-unexpected-pairing/ Cooling mint hits first, sweet strawberry follows underneath, and hibiscus tartness extends both on the finish. The mint-and-strawberry pairing is familiar from cocktails (strawberry mojito, mint-strawberry lemonade), so the cup tastes recognisable. Refreshing rather than confected. Curator Rating: 4.9/5.

Steep 5 to 7 minutes. Drink black; honey is fine but unnecessary. For iced: cold brew 4 bags in 1 litre of water, fridge 6 to 8 hours, serve over ice with a fresh strawberry and a sprig of mint.

A sugar-craving substitute. A mocktail base for strawberry-mojito-style drinks. A hospitality drink at adult dinner parties. Why the pairing works Peppermint and strawberry sounds strange, but it is the mojito pairing, where mint and berry already work together, translated into a herbal tea. Mint balances the strawberry's sweetness, the strawberry softens mint's clinical edge, and hibiscus and apple carry the body and colour underneath. It is refreshing rather than confected, and especially good iced. What you need to know: Twinings Peppermint and Strawberry Source: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
