Who is an 80-bag box for?

Regular home-working tea drinkers

If green tea is part of most weekday lunches, an 80-bag box gives you more bags in one purchase than a 20-bag pack. Check that the listing specifies 80 bags, rather than assuming a large-looking bundle contains a single box.

Shoppers looking for stated sourcing credentials

If organic ingredients and Fairtrade information affect your choice, look for those statements on the exact product. Clipper describes its own 80-bag Pure Green Tea as organic and says its tea is traded in compliance with Fairtrade Standards.

Drinkers who prefer a flavoured cup

If plain green tea is not the flavour you want at lunch, Twinings lists Green Tea & Jasmine in an 80-bag box. Smaller flavoured formats from Pukka and teapigs answer a different pack-size need.

What should you check before choosing?

Start with the number of bags and the flavour you will use regularly, then check sourcing statements and preparation directions on the particular pack.

PriorityWhat to checkYour needs
Pack size Check whether the listing is for one 80-bag box or several smaller packs. Pukka lists Mint Matcha Green as 20 bags; Twinings lists its Pure Green Tea as 80 bags. I want one box for repeated weekday lunches, rather than several smaller packs.
Flavour Read the tea and ingredient description: Twinings lists both Pure Green Tea and Green Tea & Jasmine in 80-bag formats. A plain cup works for my lunch routine, or I would rather have a jasmine flavour.
Sourcing Look for organic and Fairtrade wording on the exact product. Clipper makes both statements for its own 80-bag Pure Green Tea listing. Those sourcing details matter to me, so I want to see them stated for the pack I choose.
Brewing Check the pack's water and infusion directions before settling into a routine; do not assume every green tea uses the same method. I need preparation instructions that fit the time I have for lunch.

What can make packs difficult to compare?

  • Assuming every green tea brews the same way

    Using one routine for every box may give you a cup you do not enjoy, which matters more when you have bought a large pack.

    Read the water and infusion directions on the box you choose and start with those instructions.

  • Treating a smaller pack as an 80-bag substitute

    Pukka lists Mint Matcha Green as 20 bags, while teapigs offers jasmine pearls in 15- or 50-tea-temple formats. Neither is a single 80-bag box.

    Choose a smaller format if you want to try that flavour or tea style; check for a stated 80-bag count if stocking up in one box is the point.

Which brands and listings are relevant?

These brand and retailer references describe particular green-tea listings, not every product in their ranges.

Clipper

Clipper's own shop lists an 80-bag organic Pure Green Tea with a Fairtrade-standard tea statement.

  • An option when a plain tea and explicitly stated sourcing credentials both matter.
  • Check the wording on the exact pack or retailer listing rather than applying one listing's statements to every variant.

Twinings

Twinings lists Pure Green Tea and Green Tea & Jasmine in 80-bag, 200g boxes.

  • The two listed boxes offer a choice between plain and jasmine-scented green tea without changing the bag count.
  • Check which flavour is in the basket; the jasmine product is not plain green tea.

Pukka

Pukka lists Mint Matcha Green with mint, sencha and matcha in a 20-bag format.

  • A distinct blend to consider when its ingredients appeal more than buying one large box.
  • The listed 20-bag product is not a single 80-bag alternative.

teapigs

The teapigs green-tea range includes styles such as jasmine pearls, mao feng and green tea with mint.

  • Its listed styles offer different flavour choices.
  • Its jasmine pearls listing offers 15 or 50 tea temples, rather than a single 80-bag box.

Tesco

Tesco's green-tea listings include 80-bag products from Clipper and Twinings.

  • The retailer listings let shoppers check the stated bag counts for those products in one place.
  • Read the current listing and the pack to confirm the exact variant and ingredient wording.

Common questions

How do I tell whether a green-tea bundle meets my 80-bag requirement?

Check both the bag count per pack and the number of packs. One 80-bag box meets that format; three 40-bag packs contain 120 bags but are not one 80-bag box.

Should I use boiling water for bagged green tea?

Follow the directions on the exact box rather than using one method for every green tea. Check its water and infusion instructions before preparing your lunch cup.

Which 80-bag green tea states organic and Fairtrade sourcing?

Clipper's own listing describes its 80-bag Pure Green Tea as organic and says its tea is traded in compliance with Fairtrade Standards. Check the exact retailer pack for the statements that matter to you.

Are Pukka Mint Matcha Green and teapigs jasmine pearls single 80-bag boxes?

No: Pukka lists Mint Matcha Green as 20 bags, and teapigs lists jasmine pearls in 15- or 50-tea-temple formats. Consider them for their particular flavours and formats, rather than as single 80-bag boxes.
