Cranberry, Raspberry and Elderflower from Twinings

56/100

Cranberry, Raspberry and Elderflower

Herbal Tea by Twinings

A refreshing red berry infusion with a hint of elderflower.

The zesty flavour of this infusion is ideal when your senses need a lift. We’ve carefully balanced the sharpness of cranberry and the sweetness of raspberry before adding fragrant elderflower to create a refreshing combination that’s naturally caffeine free and has no added sugar. Enjoy it any time throughout the day.

Ingredients
Hibiscus, rosehips, apple pieces, elderflowers(8%), cranberry flavouring, liquorice root, raspberry flavouring, cranberry pieces (1%), raspberry pieces (1%).

I’ve done this to myself several times now: I get the Twinings “Fruit & Herbal Infusion Selection” box, use up all of the Blackcurrant, Ginseng & Vanilla sachets, and find myself left with five-sixths of a box of tea. Once I lucked onto a whole box of just the good stuff, but they’re really hard to find!

Which is to say, this is a decent tea. A bit sharp, but for once (thank goodness!) not in a rosehippy hibiscussed way. I do like it! It’s just, you know, not actually why I buy the box.

Hibiscus, really strong hibiscus. Under that a bit of cranberry maybe, but the raspberry and and elderflower I can not detect.

I am not a fan of hibiscus and in this particularl combination it does NOT work for me .

Twinings are sneaking cheapskates and use shovelfuls of hibiscus wherever possible. This tea is no deviation from the tradition. It was completely unpalateable, so I tore open the bags and put the contents into the toilet, hoping to make it smell nice. This didn’t work, so I poured some boiling water in as well. Then it smelt weird. I shan’t be purchasing again!

I like that it’s red, but I just don’t like the taste that much.
