Twinings Strawberry and Raspberry is the classic double-berry infusion: a hibiscus base with dried strawberry and raspberry pieces and natural fruit flavouring. Sweet strawberry leads, tart raspberry follows, and the hibiscus underneath gives the deep ruby colour and the tartness that lifts the cup. Broad appeal across age groups and one of Twinings' most popular fruit infusions, hot or iced. Caffeine free, mainstream pricing.

Sweet-tart berry character with hibiscus tartness underpinning everything. Strawberry sweetness is the front note; raspberry adds a slightly sharper edge; hibiscus and rosehip extend the tartness on the finish. Vivid ruby-red liquor, again from the hibiscus. Drinkers who like a proper berry compote or summer pudding will love it, and the cup tastes more like real berries than the artificial-flavour fruit teas. Curator Rating: 4.9/5.

1 bag in 200ml just-boiled water (full boiling is right for fruit infusions).
Cover the cup; berry aromatics are volatile.
Steep 5-7 minutes; longer is fine, it will not go bitter.
Drink it black; honey is fine, though the berries already bring natural sweetness.
Iced: cold brew 4 bags in 1L water, fridge 6-8 hours, serve over ice with a fresh strawberry slice. It keeps 3 days refrigerated.

This is the everyday classic of the Twinings fruit range, built to be familiar: strawberry and raspberry are the two berries British drinkers know best. The deep pink colour and the clean tart edge come from a hibiscus base (Hibiscus sabdariffa calyces, the same ingredient behind Caribbean and West African sorrel drinks), with apple for sweetness and rosehip for a citrus-like brightness. The tartness is almost cranberry-like, kept balanced rather than sharp by the berry sweetness. With no Camellia sinensis leaf there is no tannin and no caffeine, so it never turns bitter however long it steeps, which is what makes it so good for slow afternoon drinking or overnight cold brewing.
