Twinings Raspberry and Lemon combines tart raspberry with bright lemon over a hibiscus base, with dried fruit pieces and natural flavouring. Vivid red, refreshing and tart bright, naturally sweet without added sugar. A caffeine free fruit infusion that works particularly well cold brewed for summer, and makes an excellent mocktail base.

The blend

Hibiscus flower for colour, body and natural tartness, dried raspberry pieces, dried lemon peel, apple for sweetness and body, rosehip for extra tartness, and natural raspberry and lemon flavouring. The lemon balances the raspberry's tart edge and brings a citrus brightness hibiscus alone would not.

How it tastes

Tart raspberry leads, lemon citrus extends it with a brighter character, and hibiscus carries both to the finish. Less sweet than Twinings Strawberry and Raspberry, and zingier. Curator Rating: 4.9/5.

How to brew

1 bag in 200ml just boiled water.
Cover the cup; the berry and citrus aromatics are both volatile.
Steep 5 to 7 minutes.
Drink black; honey is fine if you want it sweeter, as the cup is naturally tart.
For iced: cold brew 4 bags in 1 litre of water with a lemon slice, fridge 6 to 8 hours, serve over ice. Keeps 3 days chilled.

Raspberry and Lemon sits at the tarter end of the Twinings fruit range. Raspberry gives the tart sweet berry character, lemon peel lifts it with citrus brightness, and the hibiscus and apple base provides body and the deep pink red colour. It is cleaner and sharper than the sweeter berry variants, which suits drinkers who find the standard fruit cups too sweet, and it shines iced.

The bottom line

Twinings' tart edged fruit infusion: raspberry lifted by lemon peel citrus over a hibiscus and apple body. Worth choosing as the cleaner, sharper alternative to the brand's sweeter fruit teas, and a strong summer iced cup. Brew normally hot, or double strength then chilled for ice; it pairs with both sweet and savoury foods.
