Who is each format for?

Organisers planning one box

Twinings Lemon & Ginger offers 80 bags in a single box. Its stated one-bag, 200 ml brewing method gives volunteers a clear starting point for preparing cups, though refills and staff drinks need separate allowance.

Organisers offering a caffeine-free option

Twinings describes its Lemon & Ginger infusion as naturally caffeine-free. Clipper makes the same statement about its Berry Burst catering infusion; check the exact pack when choosing another flavour.

Organisers choosing variety or a larger pack

Clipper’s Berry Burst comes in 250 envelopes, while Pukka’s Elderberry & Echinacea comes in 20-bag packs and Teapigs lists Super Fruit in a 50-temple pack. These formats suit a different stock plan from one 80-bag box.

What should you check before buying?

Start with the number of one-bag cups you intend to make, then check whether the flavour, preparation method and ingredient information work for your stall.

Priority What to check Your needs
Pack size Check the bag count on the exact pack. Twinings lists 80 bags; the Pukka and Teapigs examples contain 20 and 50 respectively. I want enough bags for planned one-bag cups, with some allowance if volunteers have drinks or guests ask for refills.
Tea type and flavour Read the blend name and ingredients, not just the count. Twinings Lemon & Ginger is a herbal infusion; check the individual pack for its caffeine statement. A lemon-and-ginger drink would suit my menu, or I would rather use a berry-led infusion even if that means buying a different pack size.
Preparation Twinings specifies one bag in 200 ml of freshly boiled water for three minutes. If serving it cold, plan how it will be cooled and kept chilled. Volunteers need instructions they can follow for the cup size and serving method we choose.
Ingredients and stall service Keep the current packet available for ingredient questions. The Food Standards Agency says retail and catering food businesses must provide allergen information for food and drink; GOV.UK says food businesses, including those at temporary premises, must register with their local authority. If I am running a refreshment stall as a food business, I need to check registration and have accurate information ready for guests.

What could complicate serving?

  • Assuming every 80-bag box is fruit tea

    Sainsbury's lists an 80-bag peppermint infusion alongside a 20-bag strawberry, raspberry and cranberry tea. Twinings’ 80-bag option is lemon and ginger, not a berry blend.

    Check the flavour and count together on the exact pack before ordering.

  • Equating 80 bags with 80 guests

    Eighty bags allow for 80 one-bag brews, not necessarily a drink for every guest once refills and staff drinks are included. Twinings specifies one bag per 200 ml cup.

    Decide on your cup size and estimate how many cups the stall will prepare before settling on a quantity.

  • Relying on the flavour name for ingredient information

    A herbal infusion can contain ingredients beyond those named on the front of the box. The Twinings Lemon & Ginger ingredient information includes ginger and lemon peel alongside other botanicals and flavourings.

    Keep the current pack accessible and use its ingredient and allergen statements when answering guest questions.

  • Overlooking food-business requirements

    GOV.UK says food businesses must register with their local authority, including businesses trading from temporary premises. The Food Standards Agency requires retail and catering food businesses to provide allergen information for food and drink.

    Check whether your planned stall is a food business with the relevant local authority, and prepare the applicable allergen information before serving.

Brand and pack-format references

Twinings

Its Lemon & Ginger herbal infusion comes in an 80-bag, 120 g box, matching a one-box stock plan.

  • Twinings specifies one bag per 200 ml of freshly boiled water, infused for three minutes.
  • The flavour is lemon and ginger rather than a berry-led fruit infusion; check the current ingredient panel.

Clipper

Its Organic Berry Burst catering infusion offers 250 envelopes for a plan extending beyond 80 bags.

  • Clipper describes this berry-style infusion as naturally caffeine-free.
  • A 250-envelope catering pack is not a single 80-bag box; check the blend’s ingredients for guest questions.

Pukka

Elderberry & Echinacea is a 20-bag fruit-tea option for organisers willing to combine packs.

  • Pukka describes this tea as organic and naturally caffeine-free, and says its teas are Fair for Life certified.
  • Reaching 80 bags with this product takes four 20-bag packs rather than one box.

Teapigs

Super Fruit is listed in a 50-tea-temple pack for a fruit-flavoured alternative.

  • The stated 50-temple count makes it straightforward to plan a mixed-pack selection.
  • One pack falls short of 80 one-bag brews; two packs provide 100 temples.

Sainsbury's

Its fruit-and-herbal range provides a useful comparison between flavours and pack counts.

  • The listed strawberry, raspberry and cranberry tea comes in a 20-bag pack.
  • The listed 80-bag peppermint option is a different infusion; check the count for the particular fruit flavour you want.

Joybuy option for an 80-bag box

This option suits a plan built around one 80-bag box, provided lemon and ginger is the flavour you want to serve.

Twinings Lemon & Ginger 80 Tea Bags box

Twinings Lemon & Ginger 80 Tea Bags

The single 80-bag box gives organisers a countable starting point for one-bag drinks at a car boot sale.

Twinings lists a 120 g net weight and specifies one bag per 200 ml of freshly boiled water, infused for three minutes. This is a lemon-and-ginger herbal infusion rather than a berry-only fruit tea; check the current pack’s ingredients before serving.

Frequently asked questions

Will 80 tea bags make enough drinks for 80 guests?

Eighty bags allow for up to 80 one-bag brews, but not necessarily one drink for every guest if there are refills or staff drinks. Twinings specifies one bag per 200 ml cup, infused for three minutes, so plan your cup count around that method.

Can Twinings Lemon & Ginger be served cold?

Yes. The serving information describes cooling the infusion and serving it over ice. If you choose cold service at the stall, make arrangements to cool it and keep it chilled.

Is every fruit-flavoured tea caffeine-free?

Do not assume so from the flavour name. Twinings describes its Lemon & Ginger herbal infusion as naturally caffeine-free; check the caffeine statement on any other tea you plan to buy.

Does a car boot sale tea stall need food-business registration?

If the stall is operating as a food business, GOV.UK says it must register with the local authority; its guidance includes businesses trading from temporary premises. Check how those rules apply to your planned activity with the relevant local authority before trading.

What ingredient information should a refreshment stall keep available?

Keep the current tea packaging or an accurate record of its ingredient and allergen information available for guest questions. The Food Standards Agency says retail and catering food businesses must provide allergen information for both prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink.
